The purpose of this study was to analyze the state of corruption on the basis of mental health and mediating the role of psychological well-being. The research method was descriptive-correlational modeling of structural equations. The statistical population consisted of all employees of Ardebil University of Mohaghegh who were selected by using stratified random sampling method in proportion to the size of each class. 280 subjects were selected as the statistical sample. Three general health questionnaires, a corruption inventory questionnaire and a psychological well-being questionnaire were used to collect the data. To analyze the data, correlation matrix and structural equation modeling (path analysis) were used. The findings of the research showed that there was a significant and positive relationship between mental health and administrative corruption (-0.54) and the psychological well-being (0.49). The relationship between psychological well-being and administrative corruption (-0.39) was negative and significant. Also, the relationship between mental health and administrative corruption with the role of mediation of psychological well-being (-52 / 0) was reversed and significant. Based on the findings of this research, the mental health of the organization's staff can be effective both in reducing administrative corruption and psychological well-being of employees.
