The sample size consisted of 248 people who were selected by the simple random sampling method and based on Morgan's table. The research is correlational and includes the Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale (PNP; Terry-Short et al., 1995). Perfectionism questionnaire, personality types A and B, Friedman and Rosenmann (1974), Metacognition Questionnaire of Cartwright-Hatton et al. (2004), and Maslach and Jackson's burnout Inventory (1993) was used as measuring tools. Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results showed that there is no significant relationship between perfectionism and job burnout, and between metacognition and job burnout of staff. There was a significant negative relationship between perfectionism in the component of positive perfectionism and job burnout, and also between metacognition in the components of positive beliefs and the need to control thoughts and job burnout of employees. There was a significant positive relationship between perfectionism in the component of negative perfectionism and job burnout, and also between personality type A and job burnout and between metacognition in the components of cognitive conflict, cognitive self-consciousness and uncontrollability, and the risk of negative thoughts and job burnout of employees. The predictive regression of employee job burnout is not significant (P> 0.05 and F = 2.17) on perfectionism, personality type A, and metacognition. %U https://easletters.com/article/the-relationship-between-perfectionism-personality-type-a-and-meta-cognition-with-job-burnout-in-staff-of-ahvaz-jundishapur-university-of-medical-sciences
