Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of training for positive leadership behaviors of managers on job performance of employees. The experimental research design was through pre-test and post-test with control group. The participants were 42 managers in NIPC who were selected by random sampling method and then divided randomly in experimental and control groups (each 21 employees). Furthermore in order to evaluate the impact of educational programs, 2 to 3 employees per manager were randomly selected then a pre-test was tested on control groups. After 3 days (20 hours training) educational interventions related to the main treatment were performed on managers and after 6 months the experimental test have been done on control groups. Data has been collected by using from two questioners: authentic leadership questionnaire (by Walumbwa and et al, 2008) and job performance questionnaire (by Heilman and et al, 2000(. Data analysis with ANCOVA indicated that the training of positive leadership behaviors of managers increases employees’ job performance.
