Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to determine the relationship between emotional
intelligence of managers and the learning organization dimensions in the boys' guidance
schools. The research method was descriptive survey and research instrument was
baar_on' emotional intelligence standard questionnaire and learning organization
dimensions questionnaire. The population of study included the boys' guidance schools'
managers that constitute the research community due to low population (29 head), all of
which were selected as samples. For analysis of the research questions was used
descriptive and inferential statistics such as the Kolmogorov Smirnov test, Cronbach's
alpha and Pearson and Spearman correlation test. Results suggest a positive association
between emotional intelligence of managers and dimensions of the learning organization
in the boys' guidance schools.
Keywords: Learning organization, Emotional Intelligence, Personal mastery, Mental models,
Team learning, shared Vision, Systematic Thinking.
Introduction
Extensive and increasing changes have affected on our lifestyle and values and the
organizations to continue their life in such an environment shall adapt themselves to the
increasing advancements of knowledge and technology. Accordingly, Peter Dracker
expresses his opinion about the change and development of current age so: “1990s will
create major and deep changes in five important sections of business and trade including
social environment, economy, principled policies, organization and management
(Dracker, 1985, p 37). As Hendi (1995), the time of easy cartels and superiority of stable
technology and comfort about the market security is over. It is not wonderful that the
average age of companies is about forty and thenafter either they are preyed by the others

or liquidated or merged. Therefore, in the future path that we all shall pass it whether as
the individual, group or organization will face ups and downs and only the individuals,
groups and organizations may perform successfully that have a high level in knowledge,
wisdom and ability to adapt to the environment, so that today, success in the labor market
has a direct relationship with the knowledge may be produced by the organization,
production speed of this knowledge and accumulation of produced knowledge (Ganz,
1996, p 30). The new organizations perform based on the modern knowledge and it
means they should be planned so that they can use the new thoughts and information, and
the employees become expert in one of basic fields (Deft, 1998, p 595). Leadership of an
organization for adaption to the changes and survival and growth in the new business
environment demands the special characteristics that the managers encounter a lot of
problems to respond then. In this connection, one of personality characteristics that can
help the leaders and managers is emotional intelligence. Whereas the emotional
intelligence is the ability to use the own and others’ sensation and emotion in the
individual and group behavior to achieve the maximum results and maximum
satisfaction, hence combination of managerial knowledge and emotional capabilities in
the management may be useful in leading the individuals towards achieving the goal
(Mokhtaripour, Siadat & Amiri, 2006). The schools have been identified as the major key
microsystem in the educational system of every society and each educational system to
implement its programs should begin from the school. In the current specific and
complex conditions, the Iranian schools in order to match the world’s increasing changes
should equip themselves by updated knowledge and one of the most applied and updated
knowledge is learning organization theory. According to the foregoing, the main problem
of this study is that if the managers with high communication capability and particularly
the emotional intelligence may provide the requirements for a learning organization? And
if any significant relationship exists between these variables or not?
The organization’s adaptability to the varied environment is dependent to the learning.
Today, the organizations and their employees should adapt themselves continuously to
the new situations and conditions to endure in the long term, this is the reality of new
organizations (Alaghehband, 2009, p 174). As Pedler, Borgen & Boidel (1989), the
learning organization is an organization that provides the requirements for all employees
learning and mutates and develops itself continuously. Mc. Harg (1999), Branasin (2001)
and Davis (2005) believe that the capability of organization to begin and take measure for
new products is provided by effective performance in creation of further values for the
customers. As Denton (1998), the learning organization is an organization that facilitates
the learning for all its staff members and changes itself continuously and as the viewpoint
of Hate (1999) takes effort through continuous renovation to achieve the organizational
excellence. Education Organization should apply learner-being in its development
process, as well as train the employees for presence in learning organizations (Zahabioun
& Yousefi, 2006). The engineers believe that a new idea is transformed to an invention
when its applicability has been proved in the laboratory. This idea is assumed as an
innovation if it may be constructed confidently in a significant volume and reasonable
price. If this idea is adequately significant such as phone, computer or airplane, then it is
referred to as a basic innovation. The basic innovations create or change the industries.
Referring to this interpretation, the learning organizations have been invented but still
have not been reached to innovation stage. In the engineering, when an idea of invention

moves toward the innovation, the technologies of various elements get together. Each one
of these elements is the product of extensive researches in the different and distinct
contexts that gradually makes a configuration of technologies that have a vital importance
for success of each others. As long as this configuration has not been made, the new idea
even if has not been appeared in the laboratory will not be realized in practice (Sangeh,
1990, p 12-19). These elements are as follows:
Systematic thinking: A cloudlet is condensed, the sky becomes dark, the leaves
are wandering in the air and it is understood that the storm is coming. Also, we
understand that after storm, the rain will water the downstream lands and
tomorrow the sky will be clear. All these events will be occurred in the future. But
yet all of them are in connection with each other in a frame. Each one of them has
an effect on the other one, an effect that is usually hidden from view. You only
will be able to understand the precipitation system through assuming it as a whole
and not through attitude to each one of its elements, this type of attitude is
referred to as systematic thinking.
Personal capabilities or mastery: The mastery may be deemed as excellent
attainment to people and objects. On the other side, the mastery is referred to as a
specific level of skill as well. A proficient craftsman is not superior to pottery or
knitting. The people of high personal mastery or capability are able continuously
to understand the results important for them deeply.
Mental models: The mental models are very deep imagines or even the images
and figures that affect our understanding from the world and our performance in
return thereof. Most times, we are not fully aware of our mental models and their
effects on our performance. The mental models have been hidden at our deeps
supervising that what may be done or not done in the different managerial
situations.
Shared ideal vision (shared perspective): An idea ever inspired the organizations
in the leadership and it is the capacity of making a shared image and ideal from
the future we seek it. Difficultly may mention an organization that has reached a
degree of success without having any goals, values and ideals which have been
deeply accepted in the organization.
Team learning: When the teams are really learning, not only achieve wonderful
results but each one of team members grows so that is impossible in another way.
Team learning is very crucial because the teams and not the individuals form the
learning basis in the modern organizations.
Huber (1991) believes that the learning in all levels is occurred when an identity changes
its potential behavior through processing the finite information. As the viewpoint of
Sambork & Stewart (2000), the most important tool that may help the organizations in
adaption to the environmental changes is learning, because not only causes taking the
change leadership but may be the sole competitive advantage for continuation and
development of organizations. The organizational learning becomes known increasingly
among the organizations that are interested in competitive advantage of innovations and
effectiveness. Argryis & Schon (1978) define the organizational learning as error
detection and correction. Thus, the learning organization is an organization that aids the
organizational learning promotion by establishing the structures and strategies. Fayol &
Laiz (1985) believe that the organizational learning is the process of actions improvement

by means of knowledge and better recognition. As Mc. Harg (1999), the learning is a
dynamic concept that is changed gradually from individual learning to organizational
learning. Tsang (1997) assumes the organizational learning as a concept that is applied
for description of specific types of activities performing in the organization, whilst the
learning organization refers to a specific type of organization; in other word, the learning
organization is the product of organizational learning.
The emotional intelligence is another concept that may be very effective on the success of
an organization. As the viewpoint of Bradbury & Grives (translated by Mehdi Ganji,
2007, p 3-17), the descriptions presented for emotional intelligence are as old as the
human behavior. Considering the emotions and their appropriate applications in the
human relations, understanding their own and others’ lives, continence and dominating
over immediate demands, empathy with others and positive use of emotions in thinking
and understanding is the subject of emotional intelligence. Some people may have a high
level of emotional intelligence, the others may have low level similarly, but a third group
that is equally interesting show high capabilities in some aspects of emotional
intelligence but have deep deficiency in other aspects. In the viewpoint of Salovey et al,
the emotions and intelligence are not inconsistent and against each other. The emotional
intelligence approach believes that the emotions are adaptive and proactive and are used
to organize the personal activities and as a result of behavior. The intensive emotions and
sensations may be served to the reason (Akbarzadeh, 2004, p 3). Golman, Boyatzis &
Rey (1999) have explained the elements of emotional intelligence as follows:
Self-consciousness: The managers and leaders of high self-consciousness are
honest with themselves and the others and know how their sensations influence
them, other people and their job performance;
Self-regulation: This factor is very important due to being competitive, because in
an environment therein the organizations are depreciated and the business
technology is transformed by a wandering speed, only the people dominating over
their emotions are able to adapt to these changes;
Motivation: Controlling the sensations is the ground for any skill and success and
who can motive their sensations timely, try to be producer and effective in any
duty assigned to them;
Empathy: The leaders by empathy try to satisfy all. They by observation and
thinking apply the sensations of the employees along with other factors in the
decision-making;
Social skills or regulating the relationships with others: This skill is a capability
that strengthens the popularity, leadership potential and personal influence.
The researches extensively show that the emotional intelligence skills in higher levels and
beyond the effects of personality and general intelligence have a significant role in the
educational, personal and social life of the children (Kiarouchi, Forgas & Meyer, 2009, p
29-35).
Conceptual model
According to the studies applied on the learning organization and emotional intelligence
and perception and assumption of each one of managers of their working environment,
the theoretical model of learning organization in this study is majorly derived from
opinions of the first expert and propounder of learning organization theory in 1990s

(Peter Sengeh) that includes the personal mastery, mental models, team learning, shared
vision and systematic thinking.

Figure (1) shows the conceptual model of this study, therein the relationship between
emotional intelligence and learning organization elements are exhibited.
Literature review
The both learning organization and emotional intelligence are concepts which have been
raised within two recent decades but have been attracted by the researchers soon, and
plenty of researches applied on each one. But a few researchers have studied on these two
variables together. In continue, a few researches applied in Iran and the abroad are
introduced.
Hassan Labbaf, Mohammad Esmaeil Ansari & Masoumeh Masoudi (2010) have
provided a study titled “effect of emotional intelligence on the learning organization
dimensions: case study: University of Isfahan”. The summary thereof indicated a direct
and positive relationship between emotional intelligence and learning organization
dimensions, as well as indicated the effect of emotional intelligence on the learning
organization dimensions.
Nasseri (2009) studied on the “relationship between emotional intelligence and
organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior of sport federation
employees. The summary of research indicated a significant relationship between
emotional intelligence and organizational citizenship behavior, as well as indicated that

the emotional intelligence and organizational commitment are appropriate predictors of
organizational citizenship behavior.
The results of research applied by Habibian (2006) on the “relationship between
emotional intelligence and job satisfaction of Raja Passenger Trains Co.’s employees”
show a direct and positive relationship between them. Also, it was concluded that a
positive and significant relationship exists between happiness, interpersonal relations,
self-esteem and pressure resistance, and job satisfaction, but no significant relationship
between social responsibility and job satisfaction.
Kathrin L. Morensky (2000), in her PhD dissertation titled “relationship between
emotional intelligence, personality, critical thinking capability and organizational
leadership performance in high managerial levels” concluded that the emotional
intelligence is dependent from critical thinking capability recognition but overlaps 5
personality elements of Neo-PI, and emotional intelligence positively may predict the
organizational performance.
In a study titled “relationship between emotional intelligence and behaviors, the attitudes
and job consequences” applied by Abraham Carmeli (2003), summary of results shows
the positive and significant correlation between emotional intelligence and job
satisfaction, organizational commitment and job performance.
Carmeli, Josmann (2006) studied on “relationship between emotional intelligence, duty
fulfillment and organizational citizenship behavior among 250 employees of several
Israeli organizations”. The results suggested the positive and significant relationship
between emotional intelligence and working consequences of employees. As well as, it
showed a significant association between emotional intelligence and two factors of
organizational citizenship behavior (humanism and collaboration) (quoted by Nasseri,
2009).
Gottleib F.M (2006) in his PhD dissertation titled “humanistic leadership: emotional
intelligence and team learning” has concluded that a direct and positive association exists
between organizational learning in the teams.
Ormond C.Helen (2007) in her PhD dissertation titled “effects of team learning on the
emotional intelligence and team effectiveness by Ingram method in the new established
companies” has understood that applying Ingram method may increase the team
effectiveness but doesn’t promote the emotional intelligence and satisfaction and even
may reduce it.
Mitchell-White Kathleen (2010) in her dissertation titled “reflective thinking and
emotional intelligence as predictive performance factors in problem-based learning
situations” understood that no relationship exists between reflective thinking and
emotional intelligence and performance factors in the problem-based learning situations
significantly and this subject requires further researches.
Methodology
The objective of this study is applied survey and the data was collected by descriptive-
correlative method. Two reasons justify selection of this type of research: firstly, in this
study, we don’t intend to identify the cause and effect relations but the objective is to
specify which variable is positively or negatively consistent to the other variable,
relatively. Secondly, because various and complex factors affect the establishment of a
learning organization and controlling all of which is not possible. The managers of boys’

schools of Islamshahr constitute the statistical population of this study consisted of 29
heads and due to low population, all of which were selected as sample. In this research, to
collect the data, field survey and baar_on’ emotional intelligence standard questionnaire
and learning organization dimensions questionnaire which had been formerly made by
Ms. Azizi (2010) were used. The validity and reliability of two above questionnaires had
been accepted by the professors and experts. In this survey, to determine the reliability of
questionnaires, Cronbach’s alpha test was used. Alpha coefficient in emotional
intelligence questionnaire was equaled 0.89 and in learning organization dimensions
equaled 0.74, the both results show high reliability of questionnaires. The questionnaire
has been typed and provided in multiple choice forms and distributed among the
guidance schools managers and they were requested to answer all questions carefully.
After this stage, the questionnaires were collected and its data prepared for analysis.
Findings
In this study, 5 characteristics of learning organization (personal mastery, mental models,
shared vision, team learning and systematic thinking) in the guidance schools and
emotional intelligence in the managers were assessed. The data related to Kolmogorov-
Smirnov test indicated that the responses of participators to two emotional intelligence
and learning organization dimensions questionnaires except mental models has the trait
of normal distribution, thus Pearson correlation test may be used for determination of
correlation and testing the hypotheses. For mental models characteristics, Spearman test
was used. The findings of this analysis for each one of hypothesis are as follows:
The main hypothesis: a positive and significant relationship exists between managers’ emotional intelligence and learning organization dimensions of boys’ guidance schools of
Islamshahr. To analyze this hypothesis, Pearson correlation coefficient has been used.
The related data is provided in table 1.
Table 1- Coefficient of correlation between emotional intelligence and learning

R P N
Emotional intelligence 0.99** 0.01 27 Attention: The coefficients of correlation marked by (*) are significant within the range of 0.05 and
coefficients marked by (**) are significant in range 0.01.
In table 1, the correlation between managers’ emotional intelligence and learning
organization dimensions has been shown. As it is observed, a high positive correlation
(0.99) in significance range 0.01 is observed between managers’ emotional intelligence
and learning organization dimensions in the studied schools that demonstrates acceptance
of main hypothesis and rejection of hypothesis 0. Therefore a direct and positive
relationship exists between managers’ emotional intelligence and learning organization in
the schools with a confidence of 99%.
Second hypothesis: a positive and significant relationship exists between managers’ emotional intelligence and shared vision of boys’ guidance schools of Islamshahr. To
analyze this hypothesis, Pearson correlation test has been used. The related data is
provided in table 2.

been shown. As it is observed, a positive correlation (0.41) in significance range 0.05 is
observed between managers’ emotional intelligence and shared vision in the studied
schools that demonstrates acceptance of main hypothesis and rejection of hypothesis 0.
Therefore a direct and positive relationship exists between managers’ emotional
intelligence and shared vision in the schools with a confidence of 95%.
Third hypothesis: a positive and significant relationship exists between managers’ emotional intelligence and systematic thinking of boys’ guidance schools of Islamshahr.
To analyze this hypothesis, Pearson correlation test has been used. The related data is
provided in table 3.

thinking has been shown. As it is observed, a positive correlation (0.40) in significance
range 0.05 is observed between managers’ emotional intelligence and systematic thinking
in the studied schools that demonstrates acceptance of main hypothesis and rejection of
hypothesis 0. Therefore a direct and positive relationship exists between managers’ emotional intelligence and systematic thinking in the schools with a confidence of 95%.

In table 4, no relationship exists between managers’ emotional intelligence and other
learning organization dimensions (personal mastery, mental models and team learning) in
the studied schools. Thus, according to the data obtained from Pearson and Spearman
coefficient of correlation, hypothesis 0 is accepted for these variables.

Discussion and conclusion
Relying on the theoretical topics, it is concluded that the principles applying in learning
organizations (personal mastery, mental models, team learning, shared vision and
systematic thinking) are not enforcing in each organization conveniently and the
requirements for their enforcement should be provided. The new organizations are
formed based on the modern knowledge and it means they should be planned so that they
can use the new beliefs and information and the employees becomes expert in one of
principle fields. Each member of organization instead of taking effort for increasing the
efficiency should continuously learn the new topics and identify and solve the problems
in connection with its scope of activities. For having such a dynamic and competitive
organization, presence of an experienced manager who is equipped with update theories
and communication skills such as high emotional intelligence is necessary and without
the presence of such manager, no salient success and efficiency and considerable
effectiveness may be obtained in practice. As mentioned in chapter 2 in details, the
emotional intelligence is a capability that may be extended and trained. Meyer believes
that the emotional intelligence is a mental capacity for signifying and applying the
emotional information. The people have different capacities in this case, some have
average capacity and some others are skillful and expert. As Meyer, a part of this
capacity is instinctive whilst its other part is something that we learn from life
experience. The recent part is developed by effort, practice and experience. Salovey
extended the theory of Meyer and believes that many of skills that are part of emotional
intelligence are learnable. Also, he believes that emotional intelligence is a series of skills
and capabilities that may be trained as well as learned so that the person can be trained
emotionally better. According to the foregoing, emotional intelligence is developable and
learnable, hence we can hope that by training of managers can equip them with this
useful capability and provide the requirements for learning organization. To have a
learning organization, one of the most important determinant factors is the organization’s
use of a manager who benefitting from modern knowledge and developable capabilities
such as emotional intelligence can provide the appropriate ground for cooperation and
collaboration of people. The summary of this study indicates a positive and significant
relationship between managers’ emotional intelligence and learning organization
dimensions in the schools. Upon comparing the relationship between emotional
intelligence and learning organization dimensions based on the principles of Peter
Sengeh, we may refer to the research applied by Labbaf, Ansari & Masoudi (2010)
therein a positive and direct relationship between emotional intelligence and learning
organization dimensions was observed. As well as, the study applied by Nasseri (2009)
and Carmeli (2006), therein a significant association observed between emotional
intelligence and organizational citizenship behavior and the summary showed that the
emotional intelligence and organizational commitment are appropriate predictors for
organizational citizenship behavior. The results of this research indicated that no positive
and significant exists between team learning and emotional intelligence that in the
comparative comparison of this result may refer to the research applied by Ormond. C.
Helen (2007) in her PhD dissertation therein no significant relationship observed between
emotional intelligence and team learning. Also, Mitchell-white Katheleen (2010) in his
dissertation titled “reflective thinking and emotional intelligence as predictive
performance factors in problem-based learning situations” understood that no relationship

exists between reflective thinking and emotional intelligence and performance factors in
the problem-based learning situations significantly and this subject requires further
researches.
Suggestions based on research findings
According to the theoretical literature and fundamentals of this research, it is
suggested that for reaching to precipitous changes and developments in the world
and mustiness, the redesign and reengineering of state educational system to be
proceeded more thane ever, because only through essential redesign in the
educational and training system, the problems and barriers of students at their
success path may be solved.
Considering the findings of main hypothesis of this study, it is proposed that the
officers and beneficiaries of educational system and other organizations for
changing it to a learning organization that is the clear need of current
organizations and particularly the schools, benefit from specialist and technical
and mental capable people who have high emotional intelligence in the
management, because as mentioned above, only such a manager may provide the
requirements for transforming to a learning organization.
According to the theoretical fundamentals of this study and extendibility and
trainability of emotional intelligence as the viewpoint of Golmann (1998), it is
recommended to hold during service training courses for strengthening the
emotional intelligence in managers of training and non-training organizations.
The organizations managers shall not that to achieve the success in the current
organizations particularly the schools, they should match themselves to the world
technological advancements and equip themselves with the modern sciences and
specialties and be flexible in this way and adapt themselves to the available
conditions and know that mere emphasize on the traditional managerial methods
and attention to the production and deceptive statistics never can endure so long.
And ever the fear from downfall and disruption is felt. Thus, the only way for
exiting from this bluff is equipping with the sciences and modern research
findings and implementation thereof in practice.
Considering the findings of fourth directive hypothesis as well as the fifth
directive hypothesis, it is suggested that the organizations managers of each rank
note that mere emphasize on the traditional managerial methods and attention to
the production and deceptive statistics never can endure so long. And ever the fear
from downfall and disruption is felt. Thus, through benefitting from managers
who apply the update theories and have technical and mental capabilities such as
emotional intelligence, the requirements should be provided for collaboration and
participation of all organization employees in the decision-makings and drawing
the shared vision of organization in order to lead the organization towards the
higher goals and clear perspective by means of a systematic and integrated
thinking. To establish the communication between this research and subsequent
researches, the following topics are recommended to be surveyed:
The both learning organization and emotional intelligence are concepts
which have been raised within the recent decades and have the potential
for further attention and consideration;

In this paper, the required data has been obtained only through the
questionnaire, but in addition to this method, other methods such as
interview and observation etc. may be used to achieve more precise and
useful data. This research work may be fulfilled by more samples of a
larger statistical population in the different geographical regions as a
comparative study.
