Background: Positive thinking is one of the healthy patterns in society. Positive thinking managers provide the basis for the growth of their organization by providing a clear horizon and increasing the motivation of their employees. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of positive thinking on job performance with the mediation of social responsibility in employees of the health system.
Methods: The descriptive-correlation research method based on the structural equation modeling approach was used. The target population of the research was all the health employees of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, totalling 4839 subjects. The sample size was estimated to be 367 subjects based on Singh and Masuku's sample size table. A stratified sampling method was used according to the volume (according to gender) and convenience sampling. Three questionnaires of positive thinking, social responsibility and job performance were used to collect data. The reliability of the questionnaires was obtained using Cronbach's test as 0.94, 0.78 and 0.86 respectively. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS 25 and AMOS 24 software by structural equation modeling method.
Results: The results showed that positive thinking has a positive and significant effect on job performance in the health system. Also, responsibility had a positive and significant effect on job performance in the health system. In addition, the mediating effect of responsibility in the relationship between positive thinking and job performance in the health system was positive and direct.
Conclusion: Managers of healthcare organizations should emphasize creating a work environment based on positivity and social responsibility, and use it as a strategic tool to improve employee job performance, thereby helping to improve the quality of health programs.
