Abstract: The purpose of this study was contribution of Emotional intelligence and achievement motivation on psychological well-being of students in the Shahr-e-Qods University. The statistical population of this study included all the students of University from 2015 to 2016. A sample of 200 students has been selected through cluster sampling. These students responded to a set of questionnaires included emotional intelligence (EI), achievement motivation, and psychological well-being. Hierarchical regression analyses conducted for each dependent variable showed that emotional intelligence and achievement motivation could be considered as important indicators of psychological well-being (p<0.01).The results indicated that achievement motivation can predict psychological well-being, and among emotional intelligence components, self-control and self-awareness can predict psychological well-being. As the results indicated, growth and promotion of the emotional intelligence can be considered as methods for improving students' psychological well-being. This can be promoted and revolted through a rich Educational Environment, so it is recommended to teach emotional intelligence skills to students with low psychological well-being through training workshops.
