Abstract
Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of emotional intelligence on mental job success mediated by the role of extra-occupational attitudes in nurses.
Methods: This research was carried out by descriptive correlation method. After reviewing the theoretical literature of the research in the context of the subject area, the researchers developed the research model. The research's statistical population was 445 nurses in Khorshid Hospital nurses in 2021. From the entire statistical population, 220 people were polled based on Cochran's formula by random sampling. The researcher collected data using a questionnaire that he had written by adapting and localizing standard questionnaires. Data analysis was done on two levels: descriptive and inferential statistics through internal and external models with Smart Pls software.
Results: The findings showed that emotional intelligence had a positive and significant effect on mental job success (path coefficient: 0.297) and cross-border attitudes (path coefficient: 0.444), while cross-border attitudes had a positive and significant effect on mental occupations’ success (path coefficient: 0.277). Also, the results of the Sobel test showed that cross-border job attitudes, to some extent, mediate the effect of emotional intelligence on mental job success.
Conclusion: The hypothesis test results showed the indirect effect of emotional intelligence on mental job success mediated by cross-border job attitudes.
