Available necessary information was collected using Steinmetz (1977), Goldard (1), and DASS-21 Emotional Response Questionnaires. Confirmed. Structural equation modeling and imaging software and LISREL were used for data analysis. Results: The results of the hypotheses test showed that job stress at the significant level of 0.01 and anxiety, stress and depression were positively correlated with the level of job burnout at the significant level of 0.05.

        The aim of this research is to study the role of job stressors in explaining physical strains and job-related affective wellbeing. Based on a correlation design, a sample of 100 Islamic Azad University employees in Tehran completed the Measures of Job Stressors (Spector & Jex, 1998), which consisted of the Interpersonal Conflict at Work Scale, the Organizational Constraints Scale, Quantitative Workload Inventory and Physical Symptoms Inventory, as well as, the Job Related Affective Well-being Scale (Van Katwyk, Fox, Spector & Kelloway, 2000). Findings showed that interpersonal conflict and organizational constraints correlated with physical symptoms positively and with job-related affective well-being negatively. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that interpersonal conflict at work and organizational constraints accounted for 18.8% of the variance in physical symptoms due to job strain and for 24.7% of the variance in job-related affective well-being symptoms. Some possible mechanisms underlying the stressors-outcome and their implications have been discussed based on the control model of the job stress process. Manuscript profile
