The Study of the Effect of Psychological Capital and Spiritual Intelligence on the Performance of Individuals: A Review Study

Today, the staff performance is considered to be one of the real challenges of the present and future organizational world and this is because it is possible to orient the direction of the organization through staff deliberation and action. One of the pivotal competencies that helps the organization to succeed, is their spiritual intelligence and psychological capital. The staff is required to foster these two in all of the levels so they can perform their duties in a balanced and comprehensive manner. Therefore, today the success of the organizations could not be assessed solely in the accumulation of material wealth or physical capital and equipment because the financial and physical capital will not fulfill the needs without effectively employing the human capital. In the area of human capital which is the most significant source of progress and power of an organization, it is not enough to merely confine our attention to the staff expertise, skill, and competencies, but the psychological characteristics and mental elements should also be taken into account. In the meanwhile, successful organizations are those that adjust themselves to the created conditions and also adapt to the changes. Only those organizations whose staff enjoy a high level of spiritual power can act like this. One of the concepts that have been explored in the context of human resources development, is the consideration of the psychological dimension and spirituality in the work. Since today’s organization world is competitive and challenging, this atmospheric turbulence has led the directors to adopt the staff performance improvement as their competitive strategy. Thus, the foundation of any move towards growth and development and improving the staff performance process in the organizations, is the accurate recognition of the status quo, determining the advantages and disadvantages and then developing programs for performance improvement. Thus, in this study, we have discussed the effect of psychological capital and spiritual intelligence on the performance of individuals.
