The present study aimed at designing a structural model to predict job success through ego strength with due to the mediating role of marital satisfaction and self-esteem. The research method employed a correlation with structural equations. Research statistical population consists of married men and women workers in the East governorships of Tehran Province in 2018. Given that for the structural equation modeling studies 200 to 400 recommended individuals (Schumacher and Lumex, 2009), the sample size was considered to be 300 who were selected randomly using simple sampling. The questionnaires used in the study were Nabi job success, ENRICH Marital Satisfaction, Markstrom’s ego strength Markstrom et al., Eysenck Self-esteem that participants completed them. To test the hypotheses, the structural equations were used. Findings reported that ego strength is significantly positive predicting job success. Self-esteem is significantly positive mediating the relationship between ego strength and job success. Marital satisfaction is significantly positive mediating the relationship between ego strength and job success. Based on the obtained results, we can conclude that ego strength both directly and through the mediation of marital satisfaction and self-esteem can play a role in the level of job success.

The main objective of the present study was to compare perfectionism, ego strength, anger, and anger rumination in individuals with major depression (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Tehran Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (TMPS), Ego Strength Scale (ESS), Tehran Multidimensional Anger Inventory (TMAI), and Anger Rumination Scale (ARS) were completed by 60 patients (39 patients with major depression disorder, 21 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder). Method of the present descriptive study was causal-comparative and statistical society included all major depressive disordered and obsessive-compulsive disordered patients refering to private clinics in Tehran during the year 1394. Analysis of the data involved both descriptive and inferential statistics including means, standard deviations, correlation coefficient, MANOVA, and independent t-test. The results demonstrated that dimensions of perfectionism were different in MDD and OCD: while self-oriented perfectionism and other-oriented perfectionism were elevated in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder sample, socially-prescribed perfectionism was elevated in major depression disorder sample. The results revealed no difference between the two groups in ego strength. Ager-in was elevated in major depression disorder sample, and there was no significant difference in other dimensions among the two groups. The results indicated that individuals with MDD showed more level of anger rumination than individuals with OCD. According to the results of the present study it can be concluded that comorbidity of MDD and OCD can be clarified through the common bases of psychopathology, meanwhile different principals of psychopathology justify distinction between the two disorders.
