The instruments which used in this research were counterproductive behaviors scale, job stress questionnaire and job-related affective well-being scale. Fitness of the proposed model was examined through path analysis, using SPSS-21 and AMOS-21 software packages. The indirect effects were tested using the bootstrap procedure. Results: Results indicated that fit indices including relative chi square, GFI, CFI, and RMSEA are enough, revealed that the proposed model fitted with data properly. Finding indicated that the proposed model is fitted with the data properly. Path coefficients showed a significant positive relationship between job stress with counterproductive behavior, positive and negative emotions with counterproductive behavior, and job stress with positive and negative emotions (p <0. 05). Conclusion: Results indicated that job stress has an effect on counterproductive work behaviors both directly and indirectly through job affects.
