Summary
Given the importance of issue and the challenges, with which a person is faced in taking efforts to do the life affairs and realize his unique talents, this question always raises: What is the factor for creating the happiness and well-being in people?The employees, who work in hospitals, are the most important providers of health system service, and this activity has put their constant work encountered with psychological, physical health and mental problems. The psychological well-being is among the normal concepts and structures of positive psychology (Ryff, 1989) According to this group, the lack of disease is not sufficient for the sense of health, but the sense of life satisfaction, the adequate development, efficient interaction with world, the positive energy and creation, favorable link and relationship with community and a positive development are among the characteristics in healthy individuals (Karademas, 2007). The lack of disease is not sufficient for the sense of health, but the sense of life satisfaction, the adequate development, efficient interaction with world, the positive energy and creation, favorable link and relationship with community and a positive development are among the characteristics in healthy individuals (Karademas, 2007) In this regard, the models are developed such as Jahoda's model, Diener subjective well-being model, and Ryff's six- factor model of psychological well-being which have focused on individual abilities except for emphasizing on the illness and weakness in defining and describing the mental health (Compton, 2001). The nearness to God and attention to working life spirituality lead to the peace, satisfaction and mental health (Kun, 2001)
