Abstract

The goal of this research was to study the relationship between organizational intelligence and organizational health at Isfahan universities from the point of view of faculty members. Alberesht believes that organizational intelligence indexes include strategic vision, change appetite, shared fate, courage, performance pressure, knowledge deployment, and; alignment and congruence, while from the view of Hoy and Fieldman organizational health indexes include resource support, institutional integration, morale, academic emphasis, manager influence, consideration, and initiating structure. The statistical universe included all the 1793 teaching staff of all the universities in Isfahan during the 2009-2010 academic year. A sample of 211 participants were selected through stratified random sampling in proportion to the volume.Alberesht’s questionnaire of Organizational Intelligence (OI) with 35 items and; Hoy and Fieldman’s Organizational Health(OH) questionnaire, with 43 items, were used for the collection of data. The Cronbach alpha coefficients for the OI and OH were 0.93 and 0.86respectively. To analyse the data, in addition to descriptive statistics, Pierson correlation, multiple regression, and multivariate analysis of variance were used. Results showed that there was a moderate correlation between organizational intelligence and organizational health. Additionally, there was a direct meaningful relation between the performance pressure and institutional integration at p≤0.5. However, there was no meaningful relationship between the organizational intelligence and consideration. Moreover, a direct relationship between courage, alignment and congruence; and, performance pressure indexes and the initiating structure, at p≤0.5. Furthermore, the relationship between the shared fate, appetite for change, courage, and morale was direct and meaningful. There was also a positive meaningful relationship between the shared fate and academic emphasis at p≤0.5. Finally, The relationship between the shared fate and; the alignment and congruence; with resource support was also direct and meaningful at p≤0.5.
