    Effective and successful managers pay attention to the emotional capabilities of people and in their communication they can understand the emotions and feelings of others and react accordingly. lead to the provision of conditions for the implementation of learning organizational culture in organizations that are considered as a competitive advantage in today's competitive world.

         The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of managers' emotional intelligence on learning organizational culture in the General Post Office of East Azarbaijan province. The theoretical framework cited in this research is a combination of the theory of the Academy of Emotional Intelligence and the theory of Mikhail Marquardt, in which four components, self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management, are used to examine emotional intelligence. To achieve this goal, a main hypothesis and several sub-hypotheses were set, and a questionnaire containing 54 questions was designed to test these hypotheses. After measuring the validity and reliability, the questionnaire was given to the statistical sample, which was 125 people. After collecting the questionnaires, the resulting information was summarized and classified, and then descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to analyze the collected data. The results of the research show that among the four components of emotional intelligence, only the self-management component is not related to the organizational culture of the learner in the General Post Office of Azar Baijansharghi province. Keywords: intelligence, emotional intelligence, organizational culture, organizational culture of the learner.

    1-1- Introduction

    People have been talking about emotional intelligence for a long time, but they have not been able to control and use it. We devote most of our energy to self-improvement 1 to the acquisition of information, experience, cognitive intelligence 2, and specialized education. This becomes great when we can fully understand our own emotions, the emotions of others, and the profound impact they have on our daily lives. We think that the long distance between the popularity of emotional intelligence as a concept and its application in society has two reasons:

    The main reason is that people do not understand it. They often confuse emotional intelligence with charisma and sociability. The second reason is that they think that humans either have emotional intelligence completely or they don't have it at all (Bradbury, 2014).

    Regarding the aforementioned matters and the importance of emotional intelligence as one of the critical success factors of global managers, in this research, an attempt has been made to measure the extent of this relationship in Iranian managers (General Post Office of Azar Baijansharki Province) in order to use it in order to achieve the goals of the organization. We mention the conceptual definition of variables and the operational definition of variables.

    1-2 - Statement of the problem

            Years ago, talking about cognitive intelligence (IQ) and how to measure it was considered the concern of most experts in the world. But in the current decade, in all work environments, especially educational organizations, emotional intelligence has become the intellectual paradigm of most human resource professionals; As they say, 80% of people's success at work depends on their emotional intelligence, and only 20% of it is related to IQ. With this account, emotional intelligence is a comprehensive term that covers a wide range of individual skills and characteristics and usually refers to those intra-personal and interpersonal skills that go beyond a certain area of ??previous knowledge, such as intelligence and technical or professional skills (Sebahanijad, 2009).

           In some researches, it has also been shown that the ability of emotional intelligence creates a suitable organizational atmosphere for the further development of the talent of employees and ultimately leads to the provision of conditions for the implementation of the organizational culture of learning in organizations, which is considered as a competitive advantage in a competitive world. So it can be said that even though the driving force of the changes in the 20th century was intellectual or logical intelligence, but according to the evidence available at the beginning of the 21st century, emotional intelligence will cause more and more changes (Dearburn, 2003). has become operational. Significant and successive developments in the field of information technology have led some observers to the conclusion that the postal sector is declining and its good days are over. But it should be noted that currently in developed countries such as America, Germany, Sweden, Holland, Japan, etc. Post has a commercial position and provides good services, so that South Korea Post is the fifth largest commercial company, after Samsung, Hyundai, LG and Korea Telecom. (Portal of the Islamic Republic of Iran Post Company). On the other hand, the growing trend of globalization and the elimination of trade barriers has stimulated competition beyond national postal markets. The traditional and geographical boundaries have disappeared and the accepted methods of interacting with postal offices are facing severe challenges every day, and this is undoubtedly not unrelated to the intelligence of managers and organizational culture. Management or human factors are the most important reasons for the changes that mankind is witnessing in all fields and in various societies today. In order to move towards better conditions, in addition to factors such as capital, raw materials, etc., it is the most important and main factor of human resources, and therefore intelligence can be a form of emotional evolution. It is about paying attention to people in organizations and being a new and worthy tool in the hands of business managers and ensuring their satisfaction, and also as the ability to understand the feelings and needs of others in order to educate and guide them in a way that leads to long-term and short-term organizational goals and the satisfaction of people in the society, it is a great help for work. Effective and successful managers pay a lot of attention to emotional capabilities, and in their communication, they can understand the emotions and feelings of others and react accordingly, and in a word, they have high emotional intelligence, and this ability creates a suitable organizational atmosphere for the further development of employees' talent, and ultimately leads to the provision of conditions for the implementation of a learning organizational culture in organizations. The main purpose of the current research is to examine the relationship between the emotional intelligence of managers and the organizational culture of the learner in the General Post Office of East Azarbaijan province, because in recent years, the staff of the General Office have expressed dissatisfaction with the managers' lack of attention to personnel issues, so that in the last few months, dozens of personnel of this General Office have transferred to other organizations and several people are looking to leave this organization. 

    The key strategy of postal services is to anticipate needs and re-engineer existing services and develop new services to meet the ever-changing needs of customers. Customer-oriented service organizations, such as the Islamic Republic of Iran Post, try to align all processes, strategies and goals of the organization with the demands and requirements of customers. Therefore, for this purpose, in this research, we examine the relationship between the emotional intelligence of managers and the learning organizational culture in the General Post Office of East Azerbaijan province, because in the current era, human resources have become human capital and are of greater importance, which is of particular importance in the postal company, whose main capital is human power. What is the relationship between managers' emotionality and the learning organizational culture of the General Post Office of East Azarbaijan province and which dimension has the most relevance? 1-4- The importance and necessity of research Considering that in today's era, all organizations aim to achieve predetermined goals.
