Abstract :

The main purpose of the present research is to investigate the relationship between multiple intelligent and general self-efficiency of the personnel in the producing, commercial, and industrial units of East Azarbaijan Province. For this purpose, multiple intelligence based on Howard Gardner's theory including eight dimensions and Mathias and Ralph's theory of self- efficiency were chosen as the theoretical framework, and standard questionnaires were used for both theories. In this regard, one main hypothesis and eight sub-hypotheses were stated. The statistical population includes the personnel of the producing, commercial, and industrial units of East Azarbayjan Province, from among whom 100 people were selected as research sample. Also, for the analysis of the data collected from the standard questionnaires, descriptive and inferential statistics were used. In other words, descriptive statistical method was used for classifying, summarizing, and interpreting the statistical data, and inferential statistics was employed to test the hypotheses. The obtained results indicate the relationship between multiple intelligence and general self-efficiency of the personnel in the mentioned producing, commercial, and industrial units.
