The correlation method was applied in this cross-sectional research. The statistical population of the present study was consisted of all teachers who were teaching in the elementary schools of Tehran in ۲۰۲۱-۲۰۲۲ and among them ۳۵۰ people were selected by multi-stages cluster-sampling method.

SPSS-V۲۳ and Lisrel-V۷.۸ software were applied in order to analyze the data. Structural equation modeling was used to respond to the research hypotheses. The research findings suggested that psychological capital has a direct effect on social-emotional competencies of elementary teachers (p<۰.۰۵). Psychological capital has an indirect effect on social-emotional competencies of primary teachers (p<۰.۰۵). Also, the results showed that the indirect effect of psychological capital along with social-emotional competencies mediated by career motivation was confirmed by ۹۵% confidence.
