Data collection tool was a standard questionnaire Emotional intelligence (Bradberry & Greave, 2005) and organizational performance (Hersey & Goldsmith, 2003). Also, the collected data were analyzed using PLS software. In this regard, after the implementation, first the appropriate fit indices were examined, then the research hypotheses were analyzed. The results of this study showed that intelligence Emotion has had a positive effect on auditors' performance. In other words, with the increase of emotional intelligence, the performance of auditors increases.
