On the contrary, there is negative and decreasing association between emotion –focused coping and avoidance coping strategies and self-efficacy (p<0.05). In other words, the more emphasis on the emotion- focused and avoidance coping strategies, the less the self-efficacy of individuals.

Human beings have a consistent interest in understanding the others’ impression management for them. In other words، human likes to know how others evaluate them، and what impression they make in others’ views.

Self-esteem and self-efficacy are two aspects of personality which have a magnificent role in impression management. The present study aims at investigating the role of these two personality variables in employing impression management.

The present study intends to investigate the role of individual and environmental characteristics of teachers in transfer of learning in the sixth grade. A correlation method was performed to identify the relationships between variables that affect transfer of learning. The population was the sixth grade teachers in the district one and two of Ardabil City, who participated in summer training programs in school 1392-1393. Regarding the questionnaire items, 205 questionnaires were distributed randomly among the participants. Instruments including Teacher Professionalism Questionnaires, teacher self- efficacy, principal support, peer support and transfer of learning were used for data collection. Confirmatory factor analysis used to prove construct validity of the instruments. Path analysis results showed as follows: Peer support has- directly and indirectly- a positive effect on the transfer of learning as one of the school environmental factors through teacher professionalism (as a mediating variable), but the effect of this variable on teacher's self-efficacy was not significant. Also, principal support has an indirect positive effect on the transfer of learning, but the direct effect of principal support and self-efficacy on the transfer of learning was not significant. The results also shows that the transfer of learning to the workplace largely depends on teachers’ professionalism and peer support from the transferring process and the use of leanings in the classroom. The results can improve the schools’ environment and the management of personal and environmental factors, and finally can facilitate the transfer of learning.

Entrepreneurship education is one of the most important informal training programs that are conducted in most training centers. The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between need for cognition، training self-efficacy، and learning training motivation with training transfer. The method of research is correlational and 164 trainees of entrepreneurship center of University of Esfahan have been measured in two phases (pre-training and post-training). Questionnaires used in Pre-training stage were Cacioppo، Petty and Kao''s scale of need for cognition (1984)، Quinones pre-training self-efficacy scale (1995) and Neo & Wilkins learning motivation questionnaire (1993). Questionnaires used in post-training stage were Brown''s post-training questionnaire (1999) and a researcher-made training transfer questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Stepwise Regression Analysis. The fFindings showed that there are significant positive relationships between all research variables and training transfer. Also، the results of Stepwise Regression Analysis showed that the two variables of need for cognition and post-training self-efficacy have the ability to predict training transfer. Since need for cognition and post-training self-efficacy are improvable by training، we can expect to enhance training transfer by designing training programs based on these two variables.
