The factor analysis was performed and the reliability and validity of the prepared tool and the Kazemi tool was approved. According to the results of this research, the impact of the indicators of self-awareness, flexibility, patience, spiritual experiences and problem-solving ability on performance was confirmed; but the same was rejected for the impact of indicators of targeting and Excellency.
