The purpose of this study was to find the relationship between positive affection, working conditions and goal support with job satisfaction based on mediating role of self-efficacy and goal progress. Statistical population of the study were teachers, teaching at schools of Shahriar city. A total of 274 teachers were selected using cluster sampling. The respondents answered the job satisfaction, positive affect, goal progress, goal support, and self-efficacy and work conditions questionnaires. The results showed that the model used was not fit for respondents. However, using modification indices resulted in modifying of present model and pathways of positive affection to job satisfaction, work conditions to job satisfaction and pathways of self-efficacy to job satisfaction were omitted. This modified model was fitted for the participants. Because omitting of pathways of self-efficacy, positive affection and working conditions to job satisfaction in modified model, all variables, except goal support, had indirect effect, through goal progress, on job satisfaction.

The preset study aimed to examine and compare dimensions of perfectionism (self-oriented, other-oriented, and socially prescribed perfectionism) with locus of control in students with high test anxiety and normal students. It was a causal-comparative research. Using cluster random sampling method, 280 subjects were selected from among all male and female students of Allameh Tabataba’i University in the 2010- 2011 educational years. The data were collected using the Tehran Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (TMPS), the Rotter's Locus of Control Standard Questionnaire and Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI). The statistical analysis methods of chi-square, coefficient of correlation and Regression were used to analyze the data. The results showed that, in all three dimensions of perfectionism, there was a significant difference between students with high test anxiety and normal ones. The former had higher degree of perfectionism in all its three dimensions. There was also a significant relationship between locus of control among students with high test anxiety and that of normal ones. The locus of control was more outward in those with high test anxiety. There was a significant positive relationship between all three dimensions of perfectionism and test anxiety. Perfectionism can predict the level of text anxiety
