Competências gerenciais no âmbito dos institutos federais de educação

Abstract

The competences, essentially, cause changes in the development of the organization, however, it is necessary that these same competences are identified and developed with the intention of diminishing more and more the existing distances between the competences that have and those that are desired, managerial competencies are activities, knowledge, skills or attitudes and also personal characteristics necessary to improve performance. Campus Directors of the Federal Institutes of Education are important subjects in the development of these organizations and should present a profile of managerial competencies that generate results. In order to investigate the configuration of managerial skills profile in the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology in the Brazilian territory, according to the concurrent values approach proposed by Quinn et al. (2015), this study used an essentially quantitative approach, and according to the proposed objective, it has a descriptive character. Through a survey-type survey, a self-administered questionnaire was applied to a population of 602 subjects (field directors), achieving a sample size of 241 respondents. Descriptive statistics, exploratory and confirmatory analyzes of the theoretical model were carried out, in which the validity and reliability of the measures and the construct were verified, as well as its internal consistency, with the support of IBM SPSS Statistics Desktop software. It was concluded that there is a preponderant convergence in the profile of managers for the human relations model at the level of frequency of use related to the competencies that seek to create and sustain commitment and cohesion and at the domain level the trend turns to the model open system, where managers effectively seek to adapt to changes and acquire external support. It was also observed that in all dimensions managers use the skills in the day to day of their activities, but they do not demonstrate conceptual and practical capacity over them in equal proportion, and there is a considerable gap in perception of differences.
