The overall purpose of this research is to identify those factors influencing the organizational misbehavior and its relationship with job burnout in staff departments of Kurdistan Agriculture Organization in Iran. The current study is an applied and survey research using a self-constructed and standard mixed questionnaire. The statistical population consists of 185 managers and staffs. The sample equals to 118 according to the Morgan’s table among which 81 questionnaires were returned to be considered for final analysis. The research tool reliability measuring by Cronbach Alpha was equal to 0.77 which is more than the acceptable threshold. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used by applying SPSS and Lisrel software packages. Findings showed that misbehaviors of three personality types of S, D, and O affect the job burnout. Also, based on the respondents’ views, inconsistency between the employees’ incomes and expenses and inefficient economic structure is the most influential factor contributing to the organizational misbehavior. Disregarding the employees’ welfare, frequent frustrations and stresses and inappropriate management system in the organization in different dimensions are the most influential factors affecting the job burnout.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy with job burnout among primary school teachers in Babol (Mazandaran, Iran). This is a descriptive correlational study clearly based on structural equation modeling (SEM). The participants of this study were 225 of public primary school teachers in Babol in academic year 2013-14 that were selected via cluster random sampling method. Participants completed Maslach and Jackson's Job Burnout Inventory (MBI) (1996), Teacher Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (by Tschannen-Moran, Woolfolk, 2001) and Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (by Schutte, 1998) and reliability and validity of these questionnaires were obtained. Results of Pearson correlation showed that all emotional intelligence, job burnout and self-efficacy components are mutually correlated with each other (p <0.01(. Implementing structural equation modeling (SEM) for casual relationship between emotional intelligence and job burnout through mediator variable self-efficacy, we found that the proposed model has a good fit and burnout is well explained by emotional intelligence and self-efficacy. Also all of the model path coefficients were significant.
