Does Organizational Spirituality Predict Emotional Intelligence and Organizational Citizenship Behavior among Employees?

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to examine whether organizational spirituality predicts emotional intelligence and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) among the employees of Islamic Azad University of Chabahar in the academic year 2014-2015. The present study is an applied research project and, in terms of research topics and objectives, is conducted with a descriptive/correlational design. The statistical population of the study is comprised of all the employees of Islamic Azad University of Chabahar. Due to its limited volume, the whole target population was included as the sample population. For data collection, we deployed the Standard Workplace Spirituality Scale by Milliman et al. (2003), to assess workplace spirituality, the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal by Bradberry and Greaves (2004) to assess emotional intelligence, and the Standard Organizational Citizenship Behavior Questionnaire by Oregon and Kanevsky (1996) to assess organizational citizenship behavior with reliability coefficients of 0.91, 0.70 and 0.92, respectively. Collected data were analyzed on the level of inferential statistics (Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis). The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between organizational spirituality on the one hand and emotional intelligence and organizational citizenship behavior in university employees on the other. In other words, organizational spirituality predicts emotional intelligence and organizational citizenship behavior among university employees.
