The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between character strengths and job occupation with the mediating role of teachers' emotions. The research method was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population was all 1400 primary school teachers in District 2 of Urmia, of which 301 were selected by cluster sampling method and on the basis of Klein (2011) rule and based on the number of variables. Data collection tools were standardized questionnaires of character strengths of Seligman and Patterson (2004), Shuffle et al. (2002) and Chen Teachers' emotions (2016). Validity (content and structure) and reliability (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) of the questionnaires indicated that the measuring instruments had good validity and reliability. The results of testing the hypotheses by SPSS and PLS software and using correlation tests and structural equation modeling showed that the teachers' character strengths have a positive and significant relationship with job occupation. The relationship between character strengths and teachers' emotions is positive and significant. Teachers' emotions have a positive and significant relationship with their job occupation and finally, the relationship between teachers' character strengths and job occupation, mediated by teachers' emotions, is positive and significant.
