Rural development is considered as a requirement for today's society and several factors play a role in it that lead to the success in rural development. Based on this, local managers’ necessary skills to manage rural affairs are one of the most important issues for managers in rural areas. Management skills are necessary for the successful performance of managers at different levels. Therefore, local rural managers with management skills can guide rural management towards new goals of sustainable development and in this way transform the village from a backward environment to a vibrant and developed environment. In spite of the management components and management skills, the most important element that shows itself in this is the element of skill in managing a lively rural environment.
Theoretical discussion
Amazement is defined as the process of effective and efficient use of material and human resources in planning, organizing, mobilizing resources and facilities, directing and controlling to achieve managerial and organizational goals and based on the accepted value system and criteria. In all activities, managers benefit from skills that are called management skills. The subject of management skills is one of the issues that have been of interest since the beginning of the development of management until today, and many views have been raised in this field. Management skills are skills that enable a person to move the components of a set in order to move all the components towards the set goals. Therefore, according to the definition, skill refers to a person's developable abilities that are reflected in his performance and performance of duties. Therefore, the meaning of skill is the ability to effectively use personal knowledge and experience.
Discussion
Pearson's correlation test was used to prove the existence of a relationship between the variables measuring the management skills of rural managers with the five dimensions of management skills. A significant relationship can be seen at the 99% level between the influential variables in measuring the management skills of rural managers and the five dimensions of management skills, which indicates the influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable. This means that the more the rural managers with the management skills measurement variables (average age, gender, management experience, education level), the more successful in having the five management skills and applying them in the rural development process.
Conclusions
According to the analysis of the research findings, the results showed that there is a significant difference between the studied villages in terms of management skills. Also, the results of the Friedman test showed that the share of social skills with an average of 4.21 compared to other skills is higher than the studied villages, which shows the relationship and social bond as well as the skills of dealing with the villagers among the studied villages. Political, technical, human and perceptual skills were ranked last with an average 2.21, which is a sign of poor understanding of the concept and frameworks of development in the studied villages by local managers. Also, the results of the t-test of two independent samples were used to compare the management skills between two groups of local managers (Shura-Dahyar) and showed that the average of the two groups of local managers has no difference in having management skills (no difference in the mean). In fact, the two groups of local managers (Shura-Dehyar) have the same management skills among the studied villages. Also, Spearman's correlation test was used to prove the significance of the relationship between the variables measuring the availability of rural managers and the five dimensions of management skills, and the significance of the relationship was visible in all dimensions of management skills. Finally, the results of the Vaikor decision-making model with the aim of prioritizing the studied villages in terms of management skills showed that Kooh Abad village was ranked first and Farman Abad village was ranked last.
