One of the popular methods to increase the performance of educational services such as public or private universities is to make performance measurement. The people who work for an organization are normally considered as the best people to judge about the performance of a workplace since they know most existing weakness points in their workplace. The proposed study of this paper looks into a university performance in three inside, process and outside's perspectives. We design and distribute a questionnaire among 69 university professors and 295 students. In this survey, we ask them how they evaluate university in terms of different criteria such as educational and research facilities, etc. The results of our survey indicate that the university is not in good condition in terms of research activities but it has maintained good condition in terms of other perspectives such as educational, infrastructure, etc.

This research is a pre-test and post-test experimental design along with the control group. The statistical population is all 15-18 years-old second grade female students studying in a high school of Shirvan County in 2015-2016. 30 subjects were selected in the form of multistep cluster as the sample size. Data collection tool is Morgan-Jinks (MJSES) Student Efficacy Scale Questionnaire and critical academic stress (1993). Data were analyzed using variance analysis method.

This means cognitive-behavioral counseling enhances the academic efficacy and reduces the student stress.
