“…This is important for setting up incentive mechanisms and benefits in an organisation [7]. The findings in [8] confirmed that quality professional training can establish a solid system of professional values, set expectations and requirements for the performance of the profession appropriately, and equip HR managers with competences to solve ethical problems and strengthen their sense of responsibility. Another study has proven that if the competence model is strictly integrated into HR functions, it will strengthen individual performance and the overall organisational culture in the long term [9].…”

“…The limits of soft skill development are also pointed out by other authors [6,7], who deal with motivation at the workplace. In connection with increasing motivation, it is appropriate to offer employees various forms of further training [8], an important prerequisite is to equip HR managers with competences to address ethical issues and to strengthen their sense of responsibility in the context of sustainability, thereby positively influencing job satisfaction of rank-and-file employees. It has also been found that men assessed employers' requirements for soft skills more strictly than women, which may be due to the fact that it was mainly men who held executive positions in our research sample.…”

(1) Background: The current situation is bringing about changes manifested in the digitalisation of management processes, the aspects of knowledge management, and the transmission of global risks. Demands in the area of soft skills are increasing. Therefore, this study aims to identify the requirements for competences necessary for the effective performance of job positions in public administration in the Czech Republic, including the mapping of interest in further training. (2) Methods: The data were collected in 2020 via questionnaires from 245 employees in relevant positions. The data were analysed using the correlation analysis method for establishing relationships between variables applying the Pearson correlation coefficient. Gender differences and differences between rank-and-file and executive employees were subjected to the Mann–Whitney U-test. (3) Results: The more competence is required by the employer, the more frequently it is used by employees and the more favourably the workers assess themselves in this competence. At the same time, they have a greater need and are willing to train this particular competence. A significant trend has been identified in the case of executives. Soft skills are used most frequently and the employees would like to further train them. The least interest is shown in project management training. As to professional competences, digital systems are the most frequently used and required. (4) Conclusions: The research suggests trends in the development of modern technologies, digitalisation, and information systems that will contribute to effective work in public administration. Soft skill development in rank-and-file and executive employees will also be needed.
