The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population consisted of all teachers working in the department of education in “Sangar” area of Rasht city (N = 700), of which 350 people were selected as the sample size by stratified random sampling method. In order to collect data, Abdollahzadeh’s Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire (2008) (α= 0.96), Allen & Meyer’s Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (1992) (α =0.91), and Maslach’s Job Burnout Questionnaire (1981) (α=0/95) were used. Data analysis was performed using structural equations modeling and using PLS software. Results showed that spiritual intelligence has a negative and significant effect on occupational burnout. Also, spiritual intelligence has a positive and significant effect on teachers’ organizational commitment, and organizational commitment has a negative and significant effect on job burnout. Finally, the results of the main hypothesis showed that spiritual intelligence affects occupational burnout through the organizational commitment mediation.
