Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to present a structural relationship model between sense of coherence and responsibility with job performance through mediating role of emotional intelligence (Case Study of bushehr ports and maritime organization and Sina port and marine compony).
Methods: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted on 400 employees of Bushehr Ports and Maritime Administration and the contracting companies in 2020. The number of studied samples was selected based on Kline’s model and simple random sampling method. The data gathering instruments included Job Performance Questionnaire (JPQ), Sense of Coherence Questionnaire (SCQ), Social Responsibility Questionnaire (SRQ) and Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Scale (SSREL). The collected data was analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software packages and Pearson correlation coefficient statistical tests and structural equation modeling method.
Results: Findings showed that sense of coherence, social responsibility and emotional intelligence have a direct effect on job performance (P<0/01). Also, proposed model had an acceptable fitness to the data (RMSEA=0/071, GFI=0/911, IFI=0/952, P-value<0/05) and indirect pathways of social responsibility were significant through mediating role of emotional intelligence on job performance. Also, indirect pathways of sense of coherence were not significant through mediating role of emotional intelligence on job performance.
Conclusion: The evaluated model has a good fit and is an important step in identifying the effective factors of job performance of staffs of ports and maritime organization.
Keywords: job performance, sense of coherence feeling, responsibility, emotional intelligence.
