          The present study investigated the predictive role of personality characteristics, self-esteem and religious orientation of employees in their organizational citizenship behavior. In a Correlational design, 310 employees of North Khorasan Head office of Education, were selected by cluster sampling and were asked to complete the organizational citizenship behavior (Moghimi, 2005), NEO Personality Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1985), Allport's religious orientation (Fegean, 1963) and (Rosenberg,1965) self-esteem Questionnaire. For data analysis, the Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis were used. Stepwise regression results showed that social customs in terms of self- satisfaction, restraint (P < 0.01) and order (P= 0.05) is predictable. Other personality traits, religious orientation and personal competence and self-esteem general scores were unable to predict social customs. Altruism and Mutual coordination versus restraint, intrinsic religious orientation (P < 0.01) and order (P < 0.05) was explained and other personality traits, extrinsic religious orientation and dimensions of self-satisfaction, self-competence and self-esteem general scores were unable to predict Altruism and Mutual coordination working conscience by being cautious in decision-making and self- satisfaction (P < 0.05) is predictable. Protection of organizational resources in terms of order (P < 0.01) and self-esteem (P < 0.05) will be explained. Generosity and civility in terms of self-satisfaction, intrinsic religious orientation (P < 0.01) and external religious orientation (P < 0.05) was predictable. Overall among the predictor variables, personality traits were most predictive power for organizational citizenship b ehavior. Manuscript profile

Method: Sample size based on the ratio of variables to the subject, which usually the number of samples should be at least 2 to 10 times the variables (items). In this study, since the questionnaires used include 57 items, therefore the sample size according to the minimum statistical analysis conditions of 200 students in Qom was selected by stratified random sampling method and research data using resilience questionnaires.

        The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between religious orientation (internal/external) and psychological well-being which has been conducted in a correlation method. The population of the study included all Islamic Azad University, North Tehran Branch. The research sample volume included 71 students selected randomly via cluster sampling from management, law and psychology colleges. The scales of religious orientation (Allport, 1950) and PWI psychological well-being (Carol, 1988) were used to collect the data of the study. Stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between the internal and external religious orientation scores and psychological well-being. On the other hand, the results obtained from stepwise regression analysis showed that both internal and external religious orientations were capable to predict psychological well-being. These results could be determined in such a way that the more internal youth&rsquo;s religious orientation, the more their psychological well-being and the more external youth&rsquo;s religious orientation, the less their psychological well-being. On the other hand, religious orientation was capable to predict the psychological well-being. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this research was to provide a prediction model of social desirability based on strictness, provocativeness and religious orientation. The current research was applied and in terms of method, it was a descriptive-correlational study. The research sample consisted of 360 students who were studying in the second secondary level of normal schools in Central Province, who were randomly selected and given a questionnaire. Data collection tools included four questionnaires of Carlo et al's Prosocial Tendencies Measure Revised (2003), Lang &amp; Goulet's Hardness questionnaire (2003), Buss &amp; Plomine et al's Irritability Scale (1984) and Allport and Ross's Religious orientation questionnaire (1967). Cronbach's alpha coefficient, factor analysis and model fit indices were used to analyze the data. The results of the research show that social desirability is directly related to strictness and impulsiveness in students (p&lt;0.01). Also, social desirability is indirectly related to strictness and impulsiveness through religious orientation (p&lt;0.01). Therefore, cultivating the trait of strictness and provocation through the mediation of religious orientation in students can be effective in increasing the social desirability of students.
