Abstract :
This research has been carried out to study the role of emotional and civic strengths in predicting task and contextual performance in workers. Within this scope, 157 employees were randomly selected from the Nurses in public hospitals of Isfahan as the research sample. The instruments used in this study were the Values in Action- Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS, Peterson & Seligman 2003), Task Performance Checklist (Byrne et al. 2005) and Contextual Performance Checklist (Conway, 1999).The analysis of r-Pearson’s correlation revealed positive relationship between the emotional and civic strengths with task and contextual performance (p<0/001). Stepwise regression results were indicated that persistence and honesty predicted task and honesty and leadership predicted contextual performance. These findings could be used in organizations to increase task and contextual performance.
