| description | Background and purpose: Political intelligence is critical for enhancing managerial performance and organizational productivity, while effective communication skills are essential for successful leadership. This study aims to examine the relationship between political intelligence and communication skills among managers and officials in teaching hospitals in Yazd City.
Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional, and applied study was conducted on 65 hospital managers, selected via census. Two standardized questionnaires were employed to measure political intelligence and communication skills. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and analytical tests in SPSS version 26.
Results: The mean (±SD) score for political intelligence was (107.15±11.96), and for communication skills, it was (59.46±7.46)—both above average. No significant relationship was found between political intelligence scores and any demographic variables. However, a significant association was observed between overall communication skills and the gender variable (p=0.029). Spearman’s correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between political intelligence and communication skills (r=0.527).
Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of enhancing both political intelligence and communication skills among hospital managers. In particular, the lower scores in the sub-dimensions of social games (within political intelligence) and feedback skills (within communication skills) indicate a need for targeted improvement programs. These enhancements could contribute to better managerial performance and overall organizational effectiveness. |
