Abstract :

This study was carried out to examine the relationship among three variables of skills, abilities, and managerial roles. This survey-correlational study included all high school principals (N=157) of Shiraz. A use was made of three standard questionnaires of skills, abilities, and roles. Their reliability indexes as assessed by Cronbach’s Alpha were 0.88, 0.90, and 0.86 respectively. Content and face validity of the instruments were established by experts. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis, stepwise multiple regression, one-way ANOVA, and independent t-test. The results indicated that human, technical, and communicational skills and intellectual-mental and scientific abilities could better account for the managerial roles.
