The relationship between sense of coherence (SOC) and self-esteem with job performance

The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between sense of coherence (SOC) and self-esteem with job performance. It also aims at predicting job performance regarding SOC and self-esteem. This research is a descriptive correlational study and The statistical population of this research is the staff of Khorasan Mehrkam Pars Co (N=192). A sample of 123 individuals was selected randomly. Flensburg’s revised scale of SOC, Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale and Paterson’s job performance scale were used as data collection instruments and The collected data was analyzed with Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regressions by SPSS software. Findings show a significant positive relationship between SOC and job performance (p<0.005); self-esteem and job performance (p<0.005). The direction of correlations indicates that increasing SOC and self-esteem associates with better job performance among the staff. SOC and self-esteem are also predictor variables for job performance. The contribution of SOC in predicting job performance is more than self-esteem.
