Sample was 120 students that selected among 1072 undergraduate students at Agriculture and Natural Resources Campus, Razi University by random sampling technique and Kerjcie and Morgan table. The result showed that three class of academic burnout score are: Low (40.93); moderate (49.61) and severe (61.11). In addition, based on, Pearson's correlation coefficient, self-efficacy and quality of learning experiences were negatively correlated with students' academic burnout(p=0.01). Moreover, there is negative and significant relationship between academic burnout and content, flexibility, professor-student relationship (p=0.01). The findings of this study can help to agricultural higher education planners, considering the students' academicburnout and designing plans in order to reduce this negative factor in effective learning and prepare students to increase their self- efficacy.

The statistical population of this study were all employees of a public company affiliated to the Ministry of Power, from whom 325 were selected through stratified random sampling. The instruments used in the study consisted of Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (ALI) (Walmba et al, 20008), Areas of Worklife (Leiter and Maslach, 2004), Occupational Coping Self-Efficacy (Peasanti et al, 2008), and General Health (Goldberg and Williams, 1998).The proposed model was tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) using path analysis.The bootstrapping method was used to test the mediation Effects. The hypothesized model of the study fitted the data reasonably well. The results indicated that authentic leadership had a significant direct effect on areas of worklife (p < 0.001), areas of worklife had a significant direct effect on occupational coping self-efficacy and mental health (p < 0.001) and occupational coping self-efficacy had a significant direct effect on mental health (p < 0.001). The results also supported the mediating roles of areas of work life and occupational coping self-efficacy between authentic leadership and mental health. Manuscript profile -

The research method was correlational research. The statistical population was all first grad male high-school students in district four of Tabriz which added to 2400 people, out of which, using Morgan's table 331 people were selected as sample size. The sampling method was cluster random sampling. To gather the data three questionnaires namely, the family function, Sheer's self-efficacy and General Health were used. The inferential statistics (Pearson's correlation, and stepwise regression), and SPSS software were used to nanlyse the data. Pierson's correlation coefficient expressed that with decrease of somatic symptoms the rate of family function in the dimension of role, emotional mixture, and total function increases(P<0/01). and also by reducing the anxiety symptoms the rate of family function the dimension of problem solving, relationship, role, emotional mixture, total function increases (P<0/01). By reducing the depression symptoms the rate of family function in the dimension relationship role, emotional mixture and total function increases (P<0/01). With increases social function the rate of family function in the dimension problem solving, relationship, role, emotional mixture, total function increases (P<0/01). Generally, there exit appositive correlation of (0/47) relationship between General Health scale and family function in a significant level of less than (0/01). , there exit appositive correlation of 0/25to 0/36 between self- efficacy and family function in the dimension relationship, role, emotional mixture and total function (P<0/01).

The participants completed the Social Problem-Solving Inventory. (D’Zurill et al., 2002), the State and Trait Anger Expression Inventory (Spilberger, 1999), the Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale (Kirk et al., 2008), the Creative Self-Efficacy Scale (Karwowski, 2010), and the Perceived Social Self-Efficacy Scale (Smith & Betz, 2000). The results of path analysis indicated that all types of self-efficacy were significant predictors of constructive problem solving but only the creative self-efficacy significantly predicted non-constructive problem solving. Dimensions of social problem Solving were significant predictors of anger as well. Moreover, the mediating role of social problem solving in the relationship between types of self-efficacy and anger was confirmed. The fit indices indicated that the model had good fit indices.
