The statistical sample was 144 female and male staffs working in Azna hospital were selected by the census method. The Short form of Workaholism scale (Del Lí bano et al, 2010), Short form of Attachment to God (Ghobary Bonab and Hadadi Kohsar, 2011) and Workplace Spirituality Scale (Milliman et al, 2003) were used to collect the data. Data were analyzed by the Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple regression and Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA). The results showed that the prevalence of workaholism in all staffs, female and male were 9. 76%, 11. 3%, and 10. 42%, respectively. Results of Pearson correlation showed that the correlation of attachment to God and workplace spirituality with workaholism was negative significantly, and according to regression results, attachment to God and workplace spirituality had a negative role in predicting the workaholism. Results of MANCOVA with controlling the demographic variables revealed that the mean of attachment to God was higher in female than male and mean of workplace spirituality was higher in male than men, but there was no meaningful difference between female and male in the mean of workaholism. According to results, the improvement of attachment to God and workplace spirituality by psychological training based on spirituality was suggested for the hospital's staffs for decreasing the workaholism.

Social Undermining Questionnaire (Duffy et al., 2002), Work-family Conflict Questionnaire (Carlson et al., 2000) and Maslach's Emotional Exhaustion Inventory (1985) were used to collect data.

Also, there was a significant and positive correlation between work-family conflict and family-work conflict with emotional exhaustion in teachers (P≤ . 05). In addition, social undermining and work-family conflict have been able to predict 56. 6% of the variance of emotional exhaustion of teachers (R2 = 0. 566). According to the results of the research, it can be concluded that teachers who have less social undermining and work-family conflict have lower levels of emotional exhaustion.

Job motivation enhances the ability of the teacher to enhance student efficiency in an organization as a college. This research aimed to determine the relationship between happiness and organizational climate with the motivation of teachers to the job. The present study is a descriptive-correlational one. The study sample consisted of 200 students (146 female students and 54 male students) chosen by cluster sampling method, the sample size at the second level was 20 students so that the answers of students to the organizational climate scale were engagement for each school and variables at the college level were calculated. Teachers also replied to the motivation of the educators and to the happiness scales of the teacher. An unconditional HLM (Anova model with random effect) analysis was introduced to evaluate the information. The findings showed that the job motivation of the teacher was important among distinct colleges, and 62 percent of teacher motivation modifications were due to school differences and 38 percent owing to teacher level variables. This implies that teachers' motivation is affected by the classroom setting and the organizational climate of various schools. If the factors that lead to a favorable organizational environment and students' joy are given at college, the motivation of the students can be enhanced and their efficiency enhanced in the teaching process.

This research examines the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between Holland's personality characteristics and the entrepreneurial conduct of students at Quchan University of Advanced Technologies Engineering. The method of research is the modeling of descriptive, correlational and structural equations. The statistical population in 2016-2017 is all students at Quchan University of Advanced Technologies Engineering and numbered 713 individuals. 250 randomly samples were chosen in this study based on the Cochran formula. Zampetakis & Moustakis (2007), Holland Questionnaire's Personality Types (1958) and Muris' Self-Efficacy Scale (2001) were the instruments used. Coefficient of correlation of Pearson and modeling of the structural equation were used to evaluate the data. In all analyses, SPSS-22 and AMOS-22 software have been used. The results demonstrated that self-efficacy is directly related to entrepreneurial conduct and plays a mediating role in the connection between Holland's personality traits and entrepreneurial behavior. (χ 2=0. 20, GFI=0. 91, AGFI=0. 93, CFI=0. 91, PNFI=0. 92, RMR=0. 10, RMSEA=0. 06(. In other words, with the Enter of self-efficacy in the equation, the appeal of people to entrepreneurial conduct becomes greater regardless of Holland's personality kinds. We, therefore, need to develop and reinforce the behavioral features of Holland's personality kinds and self-efficacy in order to develop entrepreneurial behavior.
