Abstract

The purpose of the current research is to investigate the relationship between spiritual intelligence and its components with high school teachers’ job performance in Aslanduz city during the 2013-2014 academic year. This study is descriptive–correlational and its population includes high school teachers of Aslanduz city (N=70) who were selected through whole counting. The instruments included two questionnaires of Spiritual Intelligence and Patterson’s job performance. The data were analyzed by parametric tests of Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Pearson correlation, one sample t-test and multiple regression through SPSS- 20. The results showed that there is a significant and positive relationship between spiritual intelligence and teachers’ job performance. Also, analysis of the data revealed that spiritual intelligence could predict 71.2% of teachers’ job performance variance. Therefore, we can conclude that spiritual intelligence has important role to play in teachers’ job performance.
