Creativity, innovation and high motivation of\nmanagers is one of the main foundations of an organization. Therefore, the\nimportant task of managing the organization can bring effective achievements for\nany organization. Managers hire the best staff, then give them the necessary\ntraining and prepare them to enter the workplace. They also help to increase\nemployee motivation by monitoring their performance and creating a flexible and\ndynamic environment. The management team and managers in an organization\ncan have a serious effect on value creation and organizations must take impressive\nmeasures related to managers to achieve their goals and implement their strategies.\nManagement is a process that basically covers the key procedures, tasks, and\npolicies of an organization in relation to its fundamental assets, the employees,\nincluding hiring, firing, training, performance evaluation, formulating employee\npreservation policies and strategies. The manager is used to describe the\nmanagement and development of employees in an organization whose main task\nis to oversee all matters related to the management of human resources. Among\nsocial organizations and institutions, the role of education cannot be ignored due\nto its effects on human resource training. The education system of any society is\none of the largest and most complex social systems and today is the foundation of\nsocial, economic, cultural and political development of any society.

As a\nresult, the Education Organization has developed a vision based on the 1404\nhorizon that can nurture capable and professional managers. Compilation of a 20-\nyear vision document is a valuable step in directing the country's activities to\nachieve development in various fields of education. One of the most important\nphrases of the document is paying special attention to Iran's position on the\nhorizon of 1404 in the field of management. In this regard, efforts have been made\nto equip organizations, especially the education organization with tools and\nscientific decision-making skills based on future studies, to enable the\ndevelopment of capable managers. In this study, considering the sensitivity and\nundeniable role of school management in advancing educational goals, an attempt\nhas been made to provide a model for developing the abilities of school principals\nin Kermanshah according to the perspective of 1404. The method of this research\nis practical in terms of purpose and quantitative-qualitative in terms of\nimplementation. The research data collection tools in this study were interview in\nthe qualitative part and a questionnaire adapted from the categories obtained in\nthe interview in the quantitative part. The statistical population in the quantitative\npart included all first grade high school teachers in Kermanshah in 1399-1399\nwhich was 425 and the statistical population of this study in the qualitative part\nincluded all first grade high school mangers in Kermanshah in 1399-1399, which\nin the quantitative section, referring to the Cochran's formula, 202 school teachers\nwere selected as a sample. The sampling method was stratified random. Also, the\nsample of this study in the qualitative section was 22 managers who were selected\nbased on theoretical saturation sampling method. Quantitative analysis of research\ndata was performed based on SPSS statistical software and statistical method of\nFreidman test was used. The analysis of research data in the qualitative section\nwas based on 3dmax software, and based on this, the method of qualitative data\nanalysis was used to analyze the data extracted from the interviews.What are the components of principals' managerial abilities on the horizon\nof 1404?\n1-Primary competency components in the managerial abilities of school\nprincipals:\n Spiritual aspects\n Organizational capability aspects\n Physical aspects\n Social and cultural aspects\n2- Major competency components in the managerial abilities of school principals:\n Constant evolution and scientific innovation\n Flexibility, multipurpose and unique features\n Development and deepening of culture and scientific thinking\n Deepen scientific thinking\n3- Components of the current situation of managerial abilities of school\nprincipals:\n Analysis of the current situation of managerial abilities of school\nprincipals\n Strategic analysis of the status of managerial abilities of school principals\n Identify the challenges of school principals' managerial abilities\n Planning to prepare the professional sublimity of school principals\n4- Components of upgrading school principals to new competencies:\n Acquiring logical and scientific awareness\n Strengthen scientific awareness\n Upgrading the level of information technology and knowledge\nmanagement\n Balance between work and leisure\n Creating a continuous learning environment\nWhat is the priority of the factors affecting the managerial abilities of\nprincipals on the horizon of 1404?\nIn order to investigate the similarity or different of factors affecting the managerial\nabilities of principals in the horizon of 1404 with a futuristic approach, Friedman\ntest was used.\nthe components of major competency in the managerial abilities of school\nprincipals with an average of 4 in the first priority, the components of the current\nsituation of the managerial abilities of school principals with an average of 3 in\nthe second priority, the components of upgrading school principals with new\ncompetencies with an average of 1.63 in the rank third, the components of primary\ncompetence in the managerial abilities of school principals are ranked fourth with\nan average of 1.37.\nWhat is the model of principals' managerial abilities on the horizon of 1404\nwith a futuristic approach?\nThe futuristic approach is based on the fact that if success is achieved in any of\nthe mentioned stages, including the current situation, initial competencies, major\ncompetencies and upgrading with new competencies, one can expect the\ndevelopment of managerial abilities.\nIn general, the results of this study showed that the components of primary\ncompetence are the managerial abilities of principals and the components of the\ncurrent situation of managerial abilities of school principals are the strategic conditions of principals and also the components of major competence are the\nintervention conditions of managerial abilities.\nThe basic competency components include the development and success of\nmanagers in terms of spiritual aspects and empowerment in the organizational\nfield. In other words, in order to develop the managerial abilities of school\nprincipals, it is necessary to strengthen the competencies of principals in the\nprimary and major areas according to the proposed educational components.\nWhen managers have effective primary competencies, they can achieve major\ncompetencies and eventually new competencies as well.\nIn the futuristic approach, a combination of interviewing and reviewing previous\nsources is examined to obtain a model. If one expect the creation and development\nof managerial skills in school principals, it is necessary to educate principals based\non the components mentioned in Horizon 1404. According to this training process,\nmanagerial competencies can be expected to be created in managers, and if these\nabilities and competencies are strengthened, efficient managers can be trained.\nBased on the obtained results, practical suggestions can be made, including that\nthe Education Organization should try to develop the managerial skills of\nmanagers based on educational programs and for this purpose emphasize on\nfactors such as spiritual aspects, aspects of organizational capability,\nstrengthening the cultural and social perspectives of managers. It is also suggested\nthat in hiring managers, training programs should be applied and considered in\nterms of strengthening the components of primary and major competence.
