Abstract

Selecting a village manager as a new form of Rural management can be considered as a turning point in the history of Rural management. From the beginning, village municipalities have been using people’ s cooperation and participation, government grants to meet public needs, improvement and cleaning the living environment, maintaining and operating infrastructures, etc. in order to perform their duties. The purpose of the present research study is to investigate the performance of Rural Municipalities in a proper governance framework from the point of view of the residents of the villages in the Central District of the Ardabil County. The present research is practical in terms of its application and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature. The statistical population of this study is 34 villages with a population of 28199 people and 8151 households. The sample size was estimated to be 387 individuals based on the Cochran formula. The samples in the villages were distributed based on their populations and the selection of samples in rural areas was systematically random. Eight indicators (participation, being law abiding, accountability, responsibility, justness, collective agreement, transparency, efficiency and effectiveness) were used in 60 items in order to evaluate performance of village municipality managers. The questionnaire was designed with closed questions in the format of the five-point Likert scale. The face validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a panel of expert professors. The reliability of the questionnaire was 0. 784 based on Cronbach's alpha. The results of one-sample t-test with a mean score of 2. 07 show that the level of proper governance of the villages in the Central District of the Ardabil County was lower than average. The results show that performance of the managers of village municipality is poorer than average according to the viewpoints of residents of the villages in the Central District of the Ardabil County and it is not in desirable conditions.
