Job Performance

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of moral intelligence and spiritual intelligence in predicting organizational flourishing and job performance. This research was applied in terms of purpose, and descriptive-correlational with regression analysis in terms of methodology. The statistical population consisted of 200 administrative employees of the Education Department of Zahedan, from which 127 individuals were selected through simple random sampling based on Morgan's table. Data were collected using the Moral Intelligence Questionnaire by Lennick, Kiel, and Jordan (2005), the Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire by Badi et al (2010), the Organizational Flourishing Questionnaire by Spreitzer (2007), and the Job Performance Questionnaire by Patterson (1922). For data analysis, descriptive statistical methods and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation and multiple regression) were employed using SPSS 22 software. The findings revealed that there are positive and significant relationships between moral intelligence and spiritual intelligence with organizational flourishing and job performance. The results of regression analysis showed that moral intelligence and spiritual intelligence jointly explained 53% of the variance in job performance and 50% of the variance in organizational flourishing. Moral intelligence was found to be a stronger predictor of job performance, while spiritual intelligence was a more effective predictor of organizational flourishing. These findings indicate that moral intelligence and spiritual intelligence play distinct yet complementary roles in improving individual and organizational performance. The development of both types of intelligence is essential for achieving optimal performance and sustainable flourishing in educational organizations.

Background: Early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) and rumination have been recognized as significant factors influencing occupational performance; however, their direct and indirect interactions within the workplace have not been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to analyze the effects of EMSs on job performance and the mediating role of rumination. Methods: A cross-sectional design was utilized, employing standardized questionnaires to evaluate EMSs, levels of rumination, and job performance among employees. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to ascertain the direct and indirect relationships between the variables. Results: The findings revealed that EMSs exerted a significant direct negative effect on job performance (β = -0.33) and indirectly diminished performance through rumination, which was strongly correlated with EMSs (β = 0.65; β = -0.51). These results are consistent with previous studies that emphasize the role of EMSs in triggering repetitive negative thinking patterns, thereby diminishing individuals' capacity to manage work-related stress. Conclusions: EMSs and rumination emerged as significant predictors of job performance. Interventions aimed at addressing rumination and fostering supportive organizational environments may alleviate the negative effects of EMSs and enhance employee productivity. The findings highlight the importance of identifying and managing these factors to promote mental health and organizational effectiveness.
