The main objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between campus climate with academic optimism and academic stress among the students. The research method was descriptive survey - correlation. The study population Allameh Tabatabai University Central Campus students in the academic year 94-1393 and the numbers are 7851. Using multi-stage cluster sampling based on Morgan table, 381 individuals (77 males, 116 females) were selected randomly. Three questionnaires were used to collect data (campus climate, academic optimism academic stress). To determine the validity of these tools from experts in the field were and to ensure the reliability of Cronbach's alpha coefficient formula is used, the results obtained in order for each questionnaire, 87/0, 81/0 and 86/0 respectively. To analyze the data both descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and frequency of use Kolmogorov-Smirnov and inferential statistics tests for normality and to explore the relation between variables and Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to generalize results to the community sample and finally to analyze the results SPSS 22 software was used. According to research findings, significant negative relationship between campus climate and academic stress and there is a significant positive relationship with the academic optimism. That is, the campus climate is more empathetic, stress less educated and more academic optimism seen among students.

In order to develop competency of managers of National Iranian Gas Company and formulate the desirable pattern, this research was performed by exploratory combination method. Seven main components were reflected in the form of conceptual pattern by data analysis. Based on findings resulted from analysis of qualitative step, research’s questionnaire was designed and its validity was calculated using the comments of the experts (74%) and its reliability by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient and was performed in statistical sample of 160 managers of National Iranian Gas Company and qualitative data of research were collected. The results of analysis of quantitative data show that general competency status of managers in National Iranian Gas Company is above average and relatively favorable and also the results of confirmatory factor analysis show that seven identified components have sufficient factor load to predict the competency of managers of National Iranian Gas Company, but among the constituent components of competency, analyzing strategic approach with factor load of 16.0 and 0.025 has significance level of 0.35 and in mental competency dimension, problem solving and decision making component with factor load of 19.0 and 0.04 have significance level of 0.21 which are removed from general model. So, by using desirable pattern of competency of managers, training programs proportional to promoting competency of managers are planned so that increasing skills and competency of managers are guaranteed and sustainable competitive advantage will be accomplished for the organization.
