    Introduction

    In management science, to increase the performance of the employees of an organization, various strategies have been proposed, such as increasing job satisfaction, applying continuous monitoring, and implementing incentive and punishment programs, among others. In addition to the above solutions, which mostly have an external aspect, there are other solutions that emphasize a kind of attitude and internal motivation in the employees of the organization. These factors in the form of an internal stimulus make a person perform better.

    We all know that these principles are emphasized in organizations, laws are binding, rules govern relationships, time should be used to the maximum, initiative and creativity are important and so on. But in practice, organizations face problems in realizing these slogans and cannot easily implement them. Investigating and analyzing this issue is not possible only by considering the official aspect of the organization. Therefore, it is important and necessary to pay attention to and emphasize the informal aspects of organizations, even though they are ambiguous.

    The present research tries to clarify what effect the characteristics of work conscience have on job performance.

    1-2 Statement of the research problem:

    Today, human resources of any organization is considered as the most important and key source of strategic assets. Considering the strategic role of human resources in an organization's success and fulfilling its industrial, commercial and social responsibilities, it can be said that having efficient human resources with high job performance can gain a competitive advantage for the organization (Shah Nazari, 2017).

    Improving job performance is one of the most important goals that managers of organizations pursue, because it improves productivity in society (Meshbaki, 2016) and it will improve the national economy, as well as the quality of services and production of organizations. (Spector, 2007). Job performance is a degree of performing the tasks assigned to a person in his job (Suliman, 2006). Increasing job performance is related to many factors, including motivation, ability, job recognition, various environmental and organizational factors, locus of control, and personality traits.

    Paul Hersey and Marshall Goldsmith believe that in performance, not only is it necessary for a person to know what to do, but it is also necessary to continuously know how well he can do things and also to have legal support for his decisions (Rezaian, 2010: 417).

    In New research has introduced the most effective personality factor in job performance, conscience or in its work term, work conscience (O'Connor & Paunonen, 2007) and (Barrick & Mount, 1991).

    Conscience is one of the five main personality factors. Conscience describes the ability to control impulses in a way that society deems desirable and facilitates task-oriented and goal-oriented behavior. Conscientiousness includes characteristics such as foresight before action, delaying the satisfaction of demands, observing rules and norms, and organizing and prioritizing tasks.

    Work conscience is a kind of self-control mechanism in affairs, through which people do their work completely and completely in terms of quality and quantity without direct and indirect supervision from outside (Alizadeh, 2015).

    Among the indicators Conscientiousness, observing justice in the performance of duties, respecting the thoughts of others, serving the people, feeling responsible (the same), feeling the usefulness of work, enjoying work, little need for external controls, trying to please God and people (Hashmi Mohammadabadi, 1386) as well as doing flawless work and getting things done, preferring the organization over oneself and feeling belonging to it, saving time and costs and doing things on time (Sultani, 1377). Researches show that the existence of work ethics through ethical rules and policies leads to greater job satisfaction and organizational commitment, and as a result, the rate of leaving the job decreases (Zakerfard, 2008).

    National Iranian Oil Company, which has been in charge of organizing and policing the activities of the oil industry since 2000, including exploration, drilling, production, research and development, refining and distribution of oil, gas and petroleum products and its export, is one of the companies. It is large and very influential in the economic affairs of the country.

    This company is considered one of the largest oil companies in the world with huge reserves of hydrocarbons. With the advancement of knowledge and technology in the oil industry and the economic and political circumstances becoming more complicated, the status of the National Iranian Oil Company has also been improved.. Therefore, national and regional policies and cooperation with important industrial countries in the field of energy supply and stability in the global oil markets are on the agenda of this company. Based on Article 44 of the Constitution, National Iranian Oil Company has taken effective action in the field of establishing economic enterprises by delegating authority to various sectors, while supervising the activities of the oil industry. Also, by providing financial resources and items needed for development and growth in line with the updating of knowledge and technology in the field of exploration, drilling and exploitation by trusting Iranian specialists and employees, it has taken great steps in this way. Management of legal affairs, management of exploration, management of health, safety and environment, plan to help the development of oil-rich areas), headquarters units (public relations, selection core, security, inspection and response to complaints, internal audit), organization (oil industry research institute, health and treatment organization, national Iranian gas export company, country's fuel consumption optimization organization, pension funds, savings and welfare of employees), production companies (National Oil-rich Southern Regions Company, Iran Central Regions Oil Company, Pars Oil and Gas Company, oil company) Continental Plateau of Iran, Arundan Oil and Gas Company, Caspian Oil Company) and technical service companies (National Iran Drilling Company, Oil Engineering and Development Company, Tehran Oil Product Manufacturing and Supply Support Company, Iran Oil Terminals Company, Pars Energy Special Economic Zone Organization) (National Iranian Oil Company information base). It is obvious that in order to improve the performance and efficiency of the employees, this company has tried many methods and has incurred many costs, but like other government organizations, it still suffers from the low level of efficiency of its employees. Examining the factors influencing the performance of employees in order to achieve better performance is the new approach of this organization. It seems that work conscience is one of the most important factors affecting job performance, the above cases prompted the researcher to investigate the effect and relationship between these two variables in the National Iranian Oil Company, considering the importance of job performance and the possible role of work conscience in increasing it. has
