The purpose of this research was to investigation relationship between creativity and managers emotional intelligence with applying the learning organization components in public guidance and high schools in Arak. The population included school managers in Arak. 144 managers were selected by proportional stratified random sampling. In order to gather data, two questionniares were made to assess scholar creativity and applying learning organization componenets. The Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire was also used. Results showed that creativity and emotional intelligence of school managers are above average. Also using components of learning in schools is higher than average. There is positive and significant correlation between managers creativity and learning organization application components level, also, manager's creativity level, have positive and significant correlation with shared vision, Team learning and systems thinking components. Howevere there was not any significant relationship between managers creativity and two other components of learning organization (i.e. personal competence and mental models). There was positive and significant correlation between managers emotional intelligence and learning organization application components level, also, managers emotional intelligence level, had positive and significant correlations with mental models, shared vision and systems thinking components. But there was not any significant relationship between managers emotional intelligence and two other components of learning organization (i.e. personal competence and team learning). furthermore.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics attitude with mathematics achievement, and compare girls and boys in structural model of these relationships. 800 students (400 male, 400 female) were chosen randomly from different parts of Tehran completed the Self Efficacy Scale (Middelton, Midgly, 1997) and the Mathematics Scale Attitude (Miller et al, 1996). Results indicated that mathematics self – efficacy and mathematics attitude have significant relationship with mathatics performance. But there is not diference between girls and boys in structural model and both of them are parallel. This suggests that gender differences in mathematics seif – efficacy, mathematics attitude, and mathematics performance has declined.

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationships between identity styles, ethnic identity, and academic self - efficacy among Kurd high school students in Paveh city. 299 students were selected through stratified sampling (158 male and 141 female) and completed the Identity Styles Inventory (ISI3, Berzonsky,1992), Multigroup Ethnic Identity Scale (Phinney 1992) and Morgan & Jinks Self- Efficacy Scale (1999). Results showed that informational, normative identity styles, and ethnic identity have significant positive relationships with self - efficacy. But there is not a significant relationship between diffuse/avoidant identity style and self - efficacy. Results by using enter regression showed that ethnic identity can predict 7% of changes in self - efficacy. Informational and normative identity style scores in girls are higher than boys but there were not significant difference between diffuse/avoidant identity style, ethnic identity, and self - efficacy between tow gender.

Increasing attention to issues of justice and spirituality and its consequences in today's organizations, as an essential matter, aroused a great deal of research motivations.

In addition the results of path analysis represented a proposed model with goodness of fit in relating between research variables.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between academic motivation and life satisfaction among high school students. Participants consisted of 483 high school students (boy's 220 and girls 263), who were selected by multistage cluster sampling in Shiraz city. Two scales were used: The Multidimensional Student’s Life Satisfaction (MSLS) and The Situational Motivational Scale (SIMS). Data were analyzed via Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regressions. The results of multiple regression showed that amotivation negatively and identified regulation as well as intrinsic motivation positively predicted self satisfaction, satisfaction from school, and satisfaction from environment. The findings of the study on the one hand provide good evidence on the effects of motivation on life satisfaction and on the other hand revealed that external motivation related to components of life satisfaction negatively while self determination motivation related to components of life satisfaction positively.

The goal of the present study, in framework of a causal model, was to investigate the relationship between social intelligence and communication skills with mediating role of emotional self-efficacy. Research method was correlational and the statistical population was consisted of all undergraduate students of Shiraz University.

Reliability and validity of measurements was confirmed. The hypothetical model was analyzed by simultaneous sequential multiple regression. Results of path analysis showed that: a) Social intelligence was positive and significant predictor of communication skills. b) Social intelligence was positive and significant predictor of emotional self-efficacy. c) Social intelligence by mediating emotional self-efficacy predicted communication skills positively and significantly. Totally, results showed that social intelligence predicted communication skills directly and indirectly by mediating emotional self-efficacy.
