there was a positive and significant correlation between respectful and responsible
managers (P=0.005), Managing and communicating existing and future work
(P=0.002), Managing the individual within the team (P=0.01), Reasoning/managing
difficult situations, (P=0.004) and workforce productivity in this research. As for

productivity in this research. The results also demonstrated that there was no
significant difference between the opinions of male and female managers about the
