The target population of this study includes 261 strategic decision makers of the selected governmental organizations of the two Gilan and Zanjan province. The data were collected through the questionnaires and the stratified sampling method, and they were analyzed through the structural equations with the SPSS software and PLS2 software.
Results: the enhancement of the level of cultural intelligence only improves the future-orientation level (the third component of the time orientation) of the decision maker managers and decision-making experts in the investigated governmental organizations of Iran; the future-orientation dimension of these managers is (0.52) more than their past orientation (0.43) and present orientation (0.39). But, all of the three components are at the mid-level, and they should be improved. The investigated Iranian governmental decision-making and decision-maker people have the metacognitive cultural intelligence (average of 3.38) more than all of the aspects and have the behavioral cultural intelligence (2.50) less than all of the aspects; the level of the motivational cultural intelligence (average of 3.19) and the cognitive cultural intelligence (average of 2.53) of these people is between the range of those two aspects.
