Abstract

Objective: The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship and degree of alignment between the implementation of Chapter 10 (Articles 64 to 69) of the Civil Service Management Law and the organizational health of the Department of Education and Training in Ardabil County.
Method: This research is applied in terms of purpose, and descriptive-correlational (survey-based) in terms of data collection methodology. The statistical population comprised all employed teachers in the education system of Ardabil County, numbering 1,417 individuals, from whom a sample size of 306 teachers was selected using the Krejcie and Morgan table via simple random sampling. To measure the variables, Hoy and Feldman’s standard Organizational Health Questionnaire (OHI) and Niehoff and Moorman’s Organizational Justice Questionnaire were utilized. Due to the non-normal distribution of the data (based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test), Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient in SPSS software was employed for data analysis and hypothesis testing.
Findings: The results of statistical analysis using Spearman’s correlation coefficient indicated that the implementation of the provisions of Chapter 10 of the Civil Service Management Law and its components (including distributive justice, job factor evaluation, pay-for-performance proportionality, merit-based placement, and transparent reward criteria) have a positive, direct, and significant correlation with the dimensions of organizational health among teachers (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The findings demonstrate a high correlation between the systematic implementation of Chapter 10 provisions of the Civil Service Management Law and the enhancement of organizational health in education. This implies that establishing mechanisms based on merit and transparency in the compensation and promotion system goes hand in hand with improving the organizational climate and teachers’ motivation within the educational institution.
