Objective: the main goal of the present research is to study the relationship between assertiveness and empathy of faculty members who have managerial positions. Method: this is a correlative-applied research. statistical population of the research includes all faculty members with managerial positions in academic year 2015-2016 in Valiasr University of Rafsanjan. The number of them is 61 persons. The statistical population has been studied as the sample. Data were gathered by standard questionnaires of assertiveness (Gambrel & Richy) and empathy (Davis). Data were analyzed by descriptive and infrential statistics.Findings: results of data analysis suggest that there is no significant relationship between managers’ assertiveness and viewpoint and between amount of imagination and empathetic attention and there is relationship between managers’ assertiveness and personal distress.Conclusion: results of the research suggest that there is no relationship between assertiveness of faculty members with managerial positions and dimensions of empathy. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention strictly to these dimensions in behaviors of managers. It is recommended that managers are chosen more accurately by holding educational periods, related workshops and more scientific selections.
