The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between personality characteristics and psychological capital with vitality of teachers. Research method: Correlation and statistical sample of 202 teachers in the district of Shiraz were randomly selected using cluster sampling method. We used 3 questionnaires in this research, such as: luthan's psychological capital questionnaire (PCQ), NEO-FFI from five factors personalities questionnaire and vitality scale questionnaire (Ryan and Fredrick) and Statistical analysis software was used to analyze the data. The acquired results from pearson's correlation test showed that there was a significant negative relationship between neurotic and vitality, while other dimensions (such as extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, & conscientiousness) have significant positive correlation with vitality's measure. Also there was significant positive relationship between psychological capital dimensions, meanly self-efficacy, hope, resiliency, and optimism with vitality (p≤ 0/01). The result of regression test by enter method showed that between personality characteristics, vitality is predictable as significant positive while neurotic predicts vitality significant negatively and agreeableness is not significant as vitality predictor variable. Also self-efficacy and hope from psychological capital can predict vitality significant positive and, resiliency and optimism are not able to predict vitality at significant level at all.

This study aims to analysis appropriat components an qualifizing e-learning for present conceptual model. A mixed methodology comprising the documentary, analytical, descriptive survey, and heuristic methods was implemented. During the qualitative stage, the background and previous studies were examined and the open codes extraction and the data organization were conducted through a coding method. To assess the viability of the components, the delphi technique was used for extracting 3 categories, 17 criteria, and 160 statements. Subsequently, the conceptual model was proposed. In the quantitative stage, the selected statistical population comprised the faculty members of PNU. Using the Cochran method, 360 members of this statistical population were selected, and, upon ascertaining the content and face validity, the researcher’ s questionnaire was completed by the sample population members. The construct validity of the instrument described a Cronbach’ s alpha of 0. 769, thus establishing the reliability of the instrument. the evaluate proposed model via softwar PLS indicated 0/8338 Cronbach's alpha. The joint reliability variable of value (AVE) more and (CR) greater than 0. 7 and (AVE) is greater than 0. 5 is therefore acceptable validity and reliability. Fornell and Larkr divergent validity proves that is acceptable. Value (GOF) pattern is equal 0. 40, which indicates a good agreement as well as fitting was found to exist between the proposed model and the actual data.
