The study also aims to show if there is or not any connected relationships between some of the managers' personal characteristics of the managers (independent variables) and the indication of using the working groups through their management (dependent variables).

On the other hand, the major was the only indication that proved no differences. Some positive and negative-connected relationships between a number of personal characteristics and the managers' readiness to use the working groups, has also been shown through out this study. Though no relation has appeared between the major and these indications.
