Data collection tool was Interview (structured and semi-structured) with 15 managers and superintendents that were selected using snowball sampling and the method for data analysis is content analysis. Competency codes and components (155 key concept, 33 sub-categories, 11 main categories) were extracted from interviews and a conceptual grounded model was developed. The central concept is "personal characteristics of the superintendents" in the four dimensions of characteristics: personality, moral, insight and analysis. The model was prepared and completed according to causal conditions (personal factors, organizational factors), contextual conditions (individual conditions, organizational conditions), intervening conditions (constraints, environmental conditions), strategies (superintendent’s personal development, organizational development) and consequences (superintendent competency development at the individual level, improving the quality of the organization). With use of the Delphi research methodology, a questionnaire was designed and the model was modified and approved by experts. The test for research hypotheses were formulated and the tested questionnaire was designed and completed by 170 managers and superintendent and the collecting and analyzing of the data and testing of the hypotheses were done by using confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis using SPSS, and PLS. The results of the quantitative phase showed that the relations in the model were confirmed with a satisfactory impact coefficient except 4 out of 16 cases as follows: the impact of the organizational factors on the personal factors, impact of the personal factors on the organization development strategies, personal conditions on the personal development of the superintendents, and environmental conditions on the organizational development strategies. Therefore, the above mentioned factors were not significant and these routes were not consistent with the designed model in the quality department and was not verified as for the quantitative aspect.

Do." In accordance with the competencies defined in the evaluation center of the managers of the National Iranian Gas Company and according to the nature of trainable competencies, three categories of communication competencies, managerial and leadership competencies, cognitive and one category of untrained personality competencies have been defined.
