the study of managerial success rate in large companies and its relation to managerial educational programming

the purpose of this paper is to study how the characteristics of successful managers are somehow related to their programme in co-operatives. the study shows there is a significant relationship between managers' characteristics such as innovation, authority and leadership, with managerial skills, self confidence and degree of success. however, there is no correlation between intelligence, sex and managerial performance. there is also a correlation between a manager's desire to improve his/her managerial skills through training courses and successful managerial performance. whilst the paper shows there is no correlation between personal considerations such as financial incentive or job security on one hand, and managerial performance on the other hand. in short, this study concludes that the success of the managers considering themselves as successful is related to particular personality and specific motives and incentives they possess. these characteristics enable a manager to perform with a high degree of self confidence and enthusiasms.
