In order to develop competency of managers of National Iranian Gas Company and formulate the desirable pattern, this research was performed by exploratory combination method. Seven main components were reflected in the form of conceptual pattern by data analysis. Based on findings resulted from analysis of qualitative step, research’s questionnaire was designed and its validity was calculated using the comments of the experts (74%) and its reliability by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient and was performed in statistical sample of 160 managers of National Iranian Gas Company and qualitative data of research were collected. The results of analysis of quantitative data show that general competency status of managers in National Iranian Gas Company is above average and relatively favorable and also the results of confirmatory factor analysis show that seven identified components have sufficient factor load to predict the competency of managers of National Iranian Gas Company, but among the constituent components of competency, analyzing strategic approach with factor load of 16.0 and 0.025 has significance level of 0.35 and in mental competency dimension, problem solving and decision making component with factor load of 19.0 and 0.04 have significance level of 0.21 which are removed from general model. So, by using desirable pattern of competency of managers, training programs proportional to promoting competency of managers are planned so that increasing skills and competency of managers are guaranteed and sustainable competitive advantage will be accomplished for the organization.

The aim of this paper was to study the relationship between organizational intelligence and learning organization in Abbaspour Electricity and Water University. This descriptive study was an applied and correlational research. The population included all 180 staff members of the university in academic year 92-93. The stratified sample embraced 123 persons. Marsik and Watkins' Learning Organization Questionnaire and Karl Albrecht's Organizational Intelligence Questionnaire were administered for data collection with Cronbach Alphas being 0.944 and 0.949 respectively. The results revealed a positive and significant correlation of 0.57 between organizational intelligence and learning organization. Based on multiple linear regression, only two out of seven components of organizational intelligence, shared fate and performance pressure could predict the learning organization variable.
