Research instruments include work addiction, occupational well-being, emotional self-regulation, dark personality traits, and mental health questionnaires. The data obtained from the research were analyzed using the Pearson correlation method and structural equation modeling.

The results showed the relationship between emotional self-regulation and mental health; Mental health has a positive and significant relationship with job well-being and narcissism with work addiction, and the relationship between narcissism and mental health and the relationship between mental health and work addiction is negative and significant (p<0.05). Also, the presented model has a favorable fit and mental health mediates the relationship between narcissism and emotional self-regulation with job well-being and work addiction (p<0.05).

(2011) and the narcissistic personality questionnaire by Raskin and Terry (1988). The data obtained was analyzed by SPSS version 26 and AMOS software. The results showed that narcissism has a partial mediating role in the relationship between the personality traits of "excitability, extroversion, openness and agreeableness" with all exchange styles, but the personality trait of "obligation" with the mediation of narcissism does not play a role in explaining any of the exchange styles. As a result, it can be said that narcissism and personality factors play an irreplaceable role in the social exchange of students. Also, the findings of this research show a low relationship between "excitability" and "agreeableness" with narcissism, and the relationship between narcissism and extroversion showed a high number, so it can be said that narcissism of the type of grandiose effect has a stronger relationship with personality traits, and therefore, in this case, it can be more To act as a mediator between personality traits and social exchange.

They have social (investment, follow-up, fairness). In summarizing the results, it can be said that narcissistic people are gradually excluded from society, and on the other hand, positive personality and behavioral characteristics strengthen students' social exchange relationships. It is suggested to hold workshops in this regard in order to reduce people's narcissism and strengthen personality traits.
