The purpose of this study was to investigate the fitness of the model of the effect some personality and organizational characteristics on proactive goal processes with mediating role of proactive motivational states (reason to, can do, energized to). The research method was correlational, and the statistical population included all of the employees of an oil company, from which 227 were selected by stratified random sampling method. The participants were asked to complete questionnaires of Self-efficacy (Rigotti et al), Job Motivation (Blais), psychological empowerment (Spreitzer), Positive Emotions (Watson et al), Goal Regulation (parker et al), Emotional Regulation (Gross & John), Learning Goal Orientation (Button et al), Transformational Leadership (Carless et al). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to test the research model. Also, to investigate the significance of the indirect effects of the research model, the bootstrapping method was Used.  Statistical methods showed that the proposed model fits well. The direct effects of the model showed the significant effect of Learning Goal Orientation, emotional regulation and transformational leadership on proactive goal processes. In addition, the results indicated that indirect effect of Learning Goal Orientation, emotional regulation and transformational leadership on proactive goal processes through proactive motivational states were significant.
