Reliabilitie of M- TSEQ is more than 0.70.2.Both the depression group and non- depression group, the mean scores of CES-D are grow up with age, longth of teaching and workload; there is no significant differences on marital status of depression group, however, for the non-depression group there is significant differences on marital status.3.Teachers with tendency to depression, get higher scores on both neuroticism and psychoticism dimensions, but get lower scores on extroverted dimension. Teachers with depression tend to feel less social support, get lower scores on development prospects and personal influence dimensions, usually they experience more job stress.4.Social support, development prospects, job stress, neuroticism, extraversion, psychoticism dimensions and depression emerge the linear regression relations.5.The intermediary effect of neuroticism, extraversion and psychoticism for depression and psychological work environment exist.
