(2017) were used. datawere collected using structural equation modeling (sem) and analyzed at two levels of descriptivestatistics and inferential level using amos and spss-22 software. the results showed that effectivereligious orientation predicts the adaptive skills of social problem solving in a positive and meaningfulway and also intellectual property predicts adaptive skills of social problem solving in a positive andmeaningful way in teachers. on the other hand, the findings indicated that intellectual property mediatesthe relationship between organizational culture and adaptive problem solving skills in a positive andmeaningful way. but intellectual property does not significantly mediate the relationship betweeneffective religious orientation and maladaptive social problem-solving skills. according to the researchresults, adaptive social problem solving skills of teachers are predicted based on organizational cultureand religious orientation mediated by intellectual property.
