Abstract :

The present research offers an optimum model of managers' effectiveness based on the fuzzy sets theory. In this research based on Lotanz theoretical framework, four kinds of activities including grillwork activities, communications, management of human resources, and traditional management have been defined for the managers, and the offered model is indeed the optimum proportion of these activities, which maximizes the managers' effectiveness rate. The statistical population consists of all the skilled managers working in East Azarbaijan Governor General office with at least four years of managerial experience. Because of the limited number of the managers, all the 17 managers have been chosen as research sample. For data collection, a questionnaire was used, and, ultimately, the optimum model was obtained. The results showed that if the largest amount of managers' resources is used in human resources activities (53.5%), communications (28.5%), traditional management (10.5%), and networking (7.5%), the maximum rate of effectiveness (61.9%) can be obtained for the managers.
