Factors affecting the growth and development of advanced societies illustrate that all these countries have had to efficient and effective improve the health of the country's Ministry of Health. Knowledge of staff working in primary health service providers including requirements for planning purposes in Ministry of Health [1].

By knowing of characteristics of personality, behavior and job satisfaction, the health care provider can provide more favorable conditions to attract and retain them. The Ministry of Health and by applying theoretical and practical training appropriate to duties assigned to health workers, thereby increasing their effectiveness in order to increase satisfaction index is global health.

Selection and appointment and planning to improve scientific level of health workers in health centers in order to provide the Iranian people are great people involved, should be full understanding of and satisfaction with their emotional intelligence [2].

Organizations including Ministry of Health, which is particularly important in all societies of sensitivity, more sensitive it is because internal operations exposed for all to see and judge it publicly, knows pace of changes and social progress needed essential to health and medical sector. The different research in this area can be identified shortcomings of existing shortcomings and pave way for resolving them. Emotional intelligence is one of the factors that can affect performance of health workers [3].

It means ability to receive instant emotional intelligence, assessment and expression of emotions, understanding, managing and using emotional information to guide their thoughts and actions. This is new attitude in relation to the progress of intelligence, emotional intelligence than Intelligence Quotient (IQ) more reliable predictor of individual's success in life and the workplace and cognitive intelligence alone cannot ensure adequate health, satisfaction and personal lives, man is not mere logic rather than emotion alone, but combination of both performance and ability to adapt to life challenges coherent, logical and emotional capabilities, in other words is incapable of reasoning without emotion and sentiment and emotion without reason blind [4].

Emotional intelligence is one important tool to measure the performance of was introduced by Goleman [5]. His perspective in Emotional Intelligence is as: capacity or ability to organize thoughts and feelings others to motivate themselves effectively control their emotions and its application in relations managers.

1.1 Dimensions of emotional intelligence Goleman argues as follows

1. Self-awareness includes features such as emotional awareness and self-confidence.

2. Self-regulation involves self-control, reliability and innovation.

3. Self-motivation includes, drives progress, innovation, optimism.

4. Empathy includes traits such as understanding others, political awareness.

Emotional intelligence is the latest evolution in field of understanding relationship between thought and emotion and kind of social intelligence and others including ability to control their emotions and use information differentiation between them, for strategy and adopting appropriate decisions in life [7].

Emotional intelligence is set of capabilities and skills that person for sustainability and success in life and equips capacity of perception, expression, understanding, use and management of their own and other’s emotions [8].

Lack of emotional competence and ability of individuals to achieve their potential open but then it is positive that emotional intelligence can be learned and is not genetically fixed, lower scores on variety of emotional intelligence is study and research is taken. Emotional intelligence for better progress on the job or accepting a leadership role is vital and research has shown that the skills and expertise alone does not reveal a brilliant performance, but high levels of emotional intelligence which led to success and progress [9]. The job is more complex, more critical importance of emotional intelligence. Each system has front and organizational conditions depth and sufficient human resources available to organizations efforts to create value fields as employees are the most valuable assets are concerned [10].

Since the front rank first class human resources in health care in rural health workers and their work environment as they are similar to the second floor after their job satisfaction as the first rural community health service providers and extension of special importance, rural society needs motivated health workers, so that they can be effective in educating people, building community health programs community [11]. Job satisfaction is an attitude that how people feel about their jobs in general or to show different aspects jobs [12].

Job prominent features within the five dimensions are as follows:

1. Satisfaction of job: Scope of tasks that employees are doing is interesting and provided opportunities for teaching and learning.

Job satisfaction is positive emotion or experience of individual's conditioning and the outcome of job evaluation. This contributed greatly to people's physical and mental health, in terms of organization reflects the high level of job satisfaction, organizational climate is very favorable, leading to capture and maintenance of the employees.

Job satisfaction of a job evaluation as something, which reach or could reach important values provides job. So the time effectively assists organizations in order to achieve its goals, the first of their job satisfaction and secondly, that it is interested in their work [14].

Job satisfaction is a psychological factor and an emotional compatibility with jobs and employment conditions. This means that if a person's job to provide optimum pleasure, is satisfied with job, job satisfaction and joy in front of is not favorable to person begins to blame the job and modifying it comes back. If people are satisfied with their job so this condition causes more motivated to perform their duties after deciding cookies [15]. Employees who have high emotional intelligence, emotions and others better understand and identify with them and coordinate. The ability to understand feelings of others can help them that factors that create positive experiences negative emotions and company consultants are more aware. Knowledge of factors that creates feelings, understand the impact of these emotions enables workers with high emotional intelligence, good deeds do that affect job satisfaction, for example, employees with high emotional intelligence compared to workers with low emotional intelligence, face with pressures of work can become more consistent. This knowledge allows them to cope with stress and manage their emotional responses least be good strategy [16].

Due to significance level in all variables is greater than 0.05 and all variables are normally distributed. It can be used to evaluate hypothesis of parametric methods.

Based on the results mentioned in Tables 1-3, Pearson correlation coefficient between emotional intelligence and job satisfaction of health workers is employed and positive value is equal to 0.294.
