Abstract

Background and Aim: By intervening and manipulating some variables, including the leadership style of managers, it is possible to change the atmosphere of the organization and provide job happiness and satisfaction and subsequently promote organizational health. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of happiness in the relationship between quantum leadership and organizational health at AJA University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: The research method is descriptive-correlation. The statistical population of all faculty members of AJA University of Medical Sciences is 200. Using the Morgan table, 132 people were selected by stratified random sampling. Data collection tools were standard questionnaires of quantum leadership, organizational health and happiness. The validity of the tools was verified using content and face validity by qualitative method and convergent and divergent validity. The reliability of the instruments was measured by the internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient and combined reliability coefficients. Structural equation model and SPSS 24 and Smart PLS software were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between quantum leadership and organizational health (0.27) and happiness (0.86). The relationship between happiness and organizational health (0.72) is positive and significant and finally, there is a positive and significant relationship between quantum leadership and organizational health mediated by happiness (0.62).
Conclusion: happiness can increase the correlation between quantum leadership and organizational health as mediators. Therefore, it is suggested that the principles of quantum leadership be taught to university administrators and supervisors at all levels of management.
