Competências para a Carreira de Gestores Governamentais: Desenvolvimento e Evidências de Validade de uma Escala

Managerial competencies scale in a public management context: development and validation evidences

“…Among the various national and international studies conducted in the last decade, it was identified that those that address managerial competencies deal with: influences of contextual aspects on competencies (Barbosa, Mendonça & Cassundé, 2016;Lan & Hung, 2018); relationship of the managerial competencies construct with other variables (Brandão et al, 2012;Bucur, 2013;Cassol, Cintra, & Ruas, 2016;Freitas, Montezano, & Odelius, 2019;Lara & Salas-Vallina, 2017;Trivellas & Reklits, 2014;Verle et al, 2014); identification of management skills relevant to specific sectors (Ésther, 2011;Gloria Jr. et al, 2014;Liang, Howard, Leggat, & Bartram, 2018;Salles & Villardi, 2017;Surdiman et al, 2019); comparison between the levels of competence demonstrated by public and private managers (Pillay, 2008;Chong, 2013), technicians or politicians (Losada & Esteve, 2018) and different professional formations (Godoy & D'Amélio, 2012); development of MC scales for different contexts (Brandão et al, 2010;Bündchen et al, 2011;Comin, Severo, Dall Agnol, Medeiros, & Guimarães, 2017;Freitas & Odelius, 2017;Santos, 2014); in addition to more theoretical studies aimed at understanding the concept or its different classifications (Freitas & Odelius, 2018).…”

“…The national literature review identified five studies that proposed to develop and validate scales of managerial competences in various research locus, being only one in the context of private organizations: Comin et al (2017) and Brandão et al (2010) identified the relevant competencies to managers of Banco do Brasil and the categorization of competencies occurred according to the six perspectives of the bank's management model evaluation (strategy and operations, economic result, customers, organizational behavior, internal processes and society); Fleck and Pereira (2011), based on the theoretical model proposed by Yukl (1998), addressed competencies for course coordinators of higher education institutions covering 20 items such as "In the definitions of schedule for semester/year, activities/tasks are defined according to the priorities and objectives of the course"; Santos (2014) Support. In this case, the fact that there is a specific factor for "managerial skills" shows that the instrument brings characteristics that go beyond the managerial function, translating the specific reality of professionals who work in the management career and not necessarily leadership; Comin et al (2017) relied on Quinn's model to identify 19 items of competencies in agribusiness companies, which were divided into six factors called dimensions: hierarchical, innovative, behavioral, managerial, dynamic, communicative; and, finally, Freitas and Odelius (2017) emphasized managerial competencies in the context of research groups, totaling 50 items distributed in two factors: People Management and Research Results and Fundraising and People.…”

“…Based on the literature review, and in view of the already discussed diversity of classifications present in MC studies, we opted for content analysis with later categorization (Bardin, 2011) to build the set of competencies that based the elaboration of the instrument. Content analysis was performed individually by one of the authors of this study and both theoretical and empirical research and both public (Amaral, 2006;Brandão et al, 2010;Bündchen et al, 2011;Ésther, 2011;Freitas & Odelius, 2017;Gloria Jr. et al, 2014;Santos, 2014;Oliveira et al, 2010) and private contexts (Cardoso, 2009;Comin et al, 2017;Godoy & D'Amélio, 2012). were considered.…”

Um estudo sobre as competências gerenciais na administração pública: o caso dos gestores do Judiciário brasileiro

“…Destaca-se também, na política, a noção de gestão por competência como gerenciamento de capacitação voltado para o desenvolvimento do emaranhado de conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes essenciais para um bom desempenho das atribuições funcionais, visando alcançar as metas da instituição. (Santos 2014).…”

Professional competences scale for police officers: evidence of psychometric adequacy

“…These points indicate a need for research focused on the nature and measure of the professional competence construct, as well as on the relationships between antecedent and consequent variables that are related, above all, to the Brazilian context (Brandão, 2009;Coelho, 2009;Nascimento, 2014;Santos, 2012). Although there are hypotheses and assumptions about this phenomenon developed by administration or psychology theories, empirical studies that present valid, accurate and reliable measures or, in other words, that are psychometrically adequate, are scarce (Brandão, 2009), especially when considering public administration (Santos, 2012(Santos, , 2014.…”
