The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between mindfulness and teachers' life satisfaction with regard to the mediating role of coping styles in coping with the corona epidemic. The research method was correlation with the application of structural equations in terms of applied purpose, in terms of quantitative nature and in terms of data collection. The statistical population was the primary school teachers of Bukan city in the academic year 2020-2021, of which 189 were purposefully selected as a sample. And colleagues (1399) and the Bauer et al.'s (2006) pentagonal mindfulness scale responded. For data analysis, the partial least squares (PLS) method was used using SPSS and PLS3 software. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between research variables and positive and negative coping styles have a mediating role in the relationship between mindfulness and life satisfaction and 19% of the effect of total mindfulness on teachers' life satisfaction through indirect Positive coping styles are explained by the mediating variable. Also, 18% of the effect of total mindfulness on teachers' life satisfaction is indirectly explained by the mediating variable of negative coping styles.

This study aimed to investigate the role of social support and life satisfaction in academic burnout. The research method was correlation. From Islamic Azad University of Tehran, 393 students selected by cluster sampling method and responded to Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS, Schaufeli et al., 2002), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS, Diner et al., 1985) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet et al., 1988). Data were analyzed using regression analysis. The results showed that social support (β = -0.131, P≥0.020) and life satisfaction (β = -0.229, P≥0,000) had a significant and inverse effect on academic burnout. The findings also showed that Social support and life satisfaction explained 14% of the variance in academic burnout. According to the findings, academic burnout decreases with increasing social support and life satisfaction. Therefore, supporting student by family, friends, and the educational environment, as well as strategies that increase life satisfaction, can reduce students' academic burnout, which is an important factor in dropout.

In terms of purpose, this study was applied with a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) and with an exploratory design. In the qualitative part, the semi-structured interview method was used and in the quantitative part, the descriptive method was used. Statistical population in the qualitative section of expert professors in the field of research that 10 people were selected as a statistical sample using purposive sampling method and taking into account the law of saturation. The statistical population in the quantitative section was all full-time professors of Mazandaran Azad University, which were selected as a statistical sample based on the scientific rank of 308 people.

Theme analysis was used to analyze qualitative data and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, t-test, exploratory factor analysis and structural equations were used to analyze quantitative data. The results showed that; University autonomy with reason and cause approaches has a positive and significant effect on university efficiency.
