Abstract

This research was conducted in order to assess the managers’ performance of Lorestan Gas Company using 360 degrees method and its relation with their job stress. The current study is a descriptive one; meanwhile it enjoys the correlational approach as well. The pertaining population comes up to 159 persons. Regarding Tuchman or Morgan-Kuhen tables, we find out that if we wish to reach a
reasonable conclusion of the analysis, the sample should involve 113 subjects. The researcher has used two questionnaires. The first one is related to 360 degree feedback model while the second one dealt with the job stress based on the standardized questionnaire proposed by…….(1978). The aforementioned questionnaires include Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients of 93.87 and 92 which are
considered as plausible coefficients for the questionnaires. Elsewhere, the validity of questionnaires was determined by the experts’ comments. The findings were given through statistical analyses of one way ANOVA, Tucky test and Pearson’s correlational coefficient. The acquired conclusions have demonstrated that there are meaningful differences among the means of 360 degree as selfassessments, supervisors’ assessment, colleagues’ assessment and employees’ assessment. On the other hand, there are meaningful differences among the assessments of managers, employees and job stress while there is no significant difference between the assessment done on the basis of 360 degree feedback model, self-assessment, the colleagues and managers’ assessments and job stress
