Abstract :

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between quality of life, school climate and self-efficacy with the role of happiness as a mediator in Jeziza Kharg teachers. The research method was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this research included all the teachers of Kharg Island in the number of 93 people (71 women, 22 men) who were employed in the academic year 2017-2018, and due to their small number, sampling was done as a census. To collect data, Sherborn and Warr's (1992) quality of life questionnaire, Paschiardis school climate questionnaire (2000), Schwartzer and Jerusalem's general self-efficacy scale (1979) and Oxford Argyle et al.'s (1989) happiness questionnaire were used. Based on the results of regression analysis with step-by-step method, all variables of quality of life, school atmosphere and happiness have a significant role in predicting teachers' self-efficacy. Also, the results of the path analysis showed that the paths of quality of life to self-efficacy and school atmosphere to self-efficacy with the mediation of happiness are significant.
