The Role of Organizational Intelligence in Improvement of Organizational Performance: A Case Study of High School Principals in Tehran City

The present research aims to study the effect of Organizational Intelligence (OI) on Organizational Performance (OP) of high school principals in 19 districts of Tehran. Using cluster sampling method, 223 subjects were selected from among all high school principals of Tehran. In terms of data collection, the study was a descriptive (non-experimental) one. The data was gathered through a survey instrument incorporating the Karl Albrecht's OI Scale and a researcher-made OP scale. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including One-Sample T Test, Simple Linear Regression, and Stepwise Regression. The results showed that OI and OP of high school principals in 19 districts of Tehran were at relatively desirable levels. Moreover, OI proved to be a good predictor of OP, since it explained 87.4% of the variance change in the OP. Also, all dimensions of OI, except knowledge deployment, had multiple correlations with OP.
