Therefore, using one-stage cluster method, 300 subjects were selected and completed Riff's psychological well-being scale, Luthans' psychological capital questionnaire, and NEOFFI five-factor personality scale. Data were analyzed using multiple regression method. Results showed that self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience had a direct relationship with psychological well-being. In addition, there was an inverse relationship between neuroticism and psychological well-being. Conscientiousness and agreeableness had a direct relationship with psychological well-being, as well. Therefore, it can be concluded that neuroticism make an individual prone to irritability, anxiety, sadness and can limit a person's psychological well-being. On the other hand, agreeableness indicates the level of honesty and altruism of a person and indicates the person's self-control in interpersonal situations. Also, being conscientious shows the level of a person's readiness to face life's problems and determines conscientiousness and discipline in life and efforts to succeed in life. Besides, the four sources of psychological capital are able, in addition to modulating the effects of stress sources, to set the stage for the motivational use of life's stressors in order to develop new challenges, and help the individual to continuous effort in order to develop new goals and expand happiness.
