This study aims to investigate the relationship between wisdom and team cohesion, considering the mediating role of empathy and trust in Oil industry managers. The statistical population consisted of managers of an oil industry organization, of which 30 people (3 men and 27 women) randomly completed standard questionnaires. The research method is descriptive-correlation. To collect the data, four standard questionnaires of Ardelt's 3-D (2003), Interpersonal Trust (Schoorman & Barlinger, 2006), team cohesion (Carron, Widmeyer, Brawley, 1985), and Empathy (Juliff & Farrington, 2006) were used. Mediation analysis was done using PROCESS V4.1(2022). The significant direct relationship between wisdom (and its dimensions) and team cohesion was not confirmed. However, these variables have a positive and meaningful relationship through increasing empathy and interpersonal trust. Therefore, wisdom can be considered as a variable increasing team cohesion, empathy, and interpersonal trust in managers, and it can be used for selecting and developing managers.
