Abstract

This study aims to assess relationship between managerial competencies of managers and employees' productivity, in Fars Chemical Industries Company, Shiraz, Iran. In this research, managerial competencies, as independent variable, was measured from two aspects, managers' characteristics and skills. Also, productivity of employees, as dependent variable, was assessed from four aspects those are motivation, work style improvement, organizational commitment and optimum use of organization's resources. Research's conceptual model was extracted from Robbins' (1) organizational behavior pattern and Katz's (2) model in order to measure managers' characteristics and their skills, respectively. The survey's method is descriptive and correlative. Results showed that there are significant relationships between: managerial skills and optimum use of organization's resources; managers' characteristics and optimum use of organization's resources; managers' characteristics and work style improvement; and managers' characteristics and employees' motivation. Results of regression also indicated that the impact of managers' characteristics on employees' productivity was much more powerful rather than managerial skills.
