Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and ANCOVA were used to analyze the data. Results: The results indicated that organizational intelligence, workplace-life skills, and employee empowerment training increased job satisfaction and organizational culture in employees with job stress in experimental groups 1, 2 and 3 in comparison to the control group. Conclusion: Organizational intelligence, workplace-life skills and empowerment training for employees could be effective in increasing job satisfaction and organizational culture.
