Mossadegh is an influential figure in the modern history of Iran, whose anti-colonial and anti-authoritarian actions in the field of nationalizing the oil industry and confronting the policies of Reza Shah and Mohammad Reza Shah are well recalled by Iranians. Most writings on Mossadegh believe that Mossadegh's failure to advance the rights of the Iranian people, both nationally and internationally arenas was due to the actions and conspiracies of his domestic and international enemies and opponents, and few writings attribute this problem to the personality of Mossadegh and his decisive style. In this article, to examine Mossadegh's character based on oral history and books published about Mossadegh's life, we are looking for an answer to the question of how Mossadegh's personality influenced macro-political decisions and the type of interaction he had with the people. To this purpose, our method in this article is a qualitative document analysis based on library resources. To achieve the goal of this work is a combination of the type of personality theory of Karen Horney's and the personality model of C. G. Jung.

The Democratic Party of Iran (Qavam) was one of the parties formed after the fall of Reza Shah's government in Iran. The party was founded by the then Prime Minister of Iran, Ahmad Ghavam. The Democratic Party initially expanded greatly with the support of Qawam, but later, the fortune star of the party declined, and finally with the removal of Qavam from the post of Minister, the Democratic Party was dissolved. This study seeks to answer the question of whether the Democratic Party of Iran had the characteristics of an institutionalized party? This study examines the institutional characteristics of the Democratic Party of Iran using Huntington's theories on institutionalization. This study also tries to study the causes of party inefficiency in the contemporary history of Iran by studying the Democratic Party. The research findings show that according to Huntington's characteristics, the Democratic Party lacked institutional features, and mainly due to the instability of parties in Iran, one can cite the lack of institutionalization of these organizations. The method used in this research is descriptive-analytical. Resources used in the research include library works, scientific journals and documents of prestigious contemporary history research centers.
