The results show that managers' Political skills have a positive and significant effect on Pro-social rule breaking due to the mediating role of Assertiveness in Ilam Government agencies. Also, the dimensions of managers' Political skills, such as social astuteness, interpersonal influence, networking ability, and apparent sincerity of managers have a positive and significant effect on Pro-social rule breaking in Ilam Government agencies.
