The Effectiveness of Organizational Intelligence Program Training on its Components

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of organizational intelligence training program on its components.

The present study was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test and control group. For this purpose, 32 employees were selected by census sampling method from employees of one of the Ministry of Defense industries. These employees were randomly divided into experimental (n=16) and control (n=16) groups. The researcher-made package of organizational intelligence training was administered to the experimental group during 11 two-hours sessions. During this time the control group received no training. Both groups completed the researcher-made organizational intelligence scale in the pre-test and post-test stages. Multivariate covariance analysis and Spss-19 software were used for data analysis.

The results of multivariate covariance analysis showed that there are significant differences between two experimental and control groups in all components of organizational intelligence except knowledge management. The mean scores of the experimental group in these components in the post-test stage were higher than the control group (p<0.001).

Organizational intelligence is one of the factors wich influence the organizational productivity and job performance of employees. therefore, taking appropriate measures for enhancing the level of Organizational intelligence is recommented.
