RESULTS: The value of Kendall coefficient was 0.766 for the level of agreement and consensus of experts in the second round for the competency dimension of managers and 0.746 for the competency components of managers, which showed that there was coordination between views. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of panel members' responses in the first round and in the second round showed the importance of competency factors.
