چکیده مقاله :
In the modern world, organizations are considered as intelligent systems. Increased Organizational Intelligence (OI) helps organizations to effectively analyze their data, store results, and use outcomes for making professional decisions. The purpose of this study was to measure OI in Agriculture- Jihad Organization in Guilan. A sample of 201 out of personnel was selected from in Agriculture- Jihad Organization in Guilan (N=1296) through a proportional cluster sampling technique. The instrument of the study included 7 intelligence constructs measured against 49 items. Results indicated a medium level of OI in the Guilan Agricultural- Jihad Organization. Among the intelligence components, ‘shared fate’ received highest ratings and ‘appetite for change’ received the lowest ratings. The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that of the seven intelligence components, the ‘heart’ explained highest proportion of variance for describing OI. Findings have implication for designing policies and developing programs for enhancing the OI. It is recommended that Agriculture- Jihad Organization in Guilan should examine and measure their OI and identify strategies to achieve a high level of OI needed for professional success.
چکیده انگلیسی:
در دنیای مدرن امروزی سازمانها بهطور فزایندهای بهعنوان سیستمهای هوشمند در نظر گرفته میشوند. افزایش هوش سازمانی کمک میکند تا سازمانها دادههای خود را بهطور مؤثر تجزیه و تحلیل کرده، نتایج را ذخیره کنند و از نتایج بهدست آمده در تصمیمگیریهای حرفهای استفاده کنند. هدف از این پژوهش سنجش میزان مؤلفههای هوش سازمانی در سازمان جهاد کشاورزی استان گیلان بود. یک نمونه 183 نفری از کارکنان سازمان جهاد کشاورزی استان گیلان (1296N=) از طریق روش نمونهگیری خوشهای متناسب انتخاب شدند. ابزار تحقیق شامل پرسشنامه استاندارد هوش سازمانی آلبرشت (2003) با 49 گویه تحت هفت مؤلفه میباشد. یافتهها نشاندهنده وجود هوش سازمانی متوسط در سازمان جهاد کشاورزی استان گیلان بود. رتبهبندی مؤلفههای هوش سازمانی نشان داد که مؤلفه سرنوشت مشترک در بالاترین رتبه و میل به تغییر در پایینترین رتبه قرار گرفتند. همچنین نتایج تحلیل عاملی نشان داد که از بین 7 مؤلفه، روحیه بیشترین سهم را در تبیین هوش سازمانی داشت. نتایج کلی تحقیق بر طراحی سیاستها و برنامههایی جهت افزایش هوش سازمانی دلالت دارد. لذا توصیه میشود که سازمان جهاد کشاورزی استان گیلان برای دستیابی به موفقیتهای حرفهای خود به بررسی و اندازهگیری هوش سازمانی و شناسایی استراتژیهای لازم برای رسیدن به سطح بالایی از هوش سازمانی بپردازد
