The population under study included all male and female librarians employed in public libraries of Tehran, and 100 individuals out of them were considered as sample group by random cluster sampling. For statistical analysis, in addition to descriptive statistics indices and tables and abundance graphs, some other tests were utilized including test of significance of Pierson’s correlation coefficient, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multiple regression analysis.
Findings: Based upon the results obtained, applying the solution-oriented strategy in staff with high EQ is significantly more than those with low EQ (p<0.001); however, no significant difference was observed for non-intervention and control strategies.
