Abstract

This study aims at explaining the mediating role of self-development on the relationship between self-awareness and job performance. The research method was descriptive and correlational which was followed with SEM analysis method. The research population was comprised of the 2200 staff of the public schools in the district one of Shahr-e Ray. Using Cochran sampling formula and stratified random sampling method, 150 valid questionnaires were collected. The self-awareness questionnaire of Moghimi with the reliability rate of α= 0/85, the self-development questionnaire of Abili and Mazari with the reliability rate of α= 0/87, and the job performance questionnaire of Byrne et al (2005) and Conway with the reliability rate of α = 0/87 were used to collect data. The test of the research model showed that it fitted the data. So self-awareness (γ=0/76) has an impact on self-development, and self-development on job performance (β=0/57).  Also, self-awareness withthe mediation of self-development has an impact on job performance (γ=0/38). Finally, self-awareness has a direct impact on job performance (γ=0/49). In summary, self-awareness will bring about better job performance due to its impact on self-development.
