Competências gerenciais: a percepção dos gestores de uma universidade pública

Abstract

The requirement of competence in organizations begins to become clear. The accountability for results is not different in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Under the light of theoretical frameworks (LE BOTERF, 2003; RUAS, 2005) this work is the result of an investigation with the managers of the State University of Rio Grande do Norte (UERN). Proposed to analyze their perception of the ideal skills required to perform management. The research is a quantitative-qualitative, conducted through questionnaires with open and closed questions. Developed a descriptive and field study, and the participants were 40 managers of HEIs in different positions. The results revealed that these managers indicate commitment to the role they play and the IES, advocate the importance of planning and acting ethically in the activities they carry out. The institution seems to require a process of awareness in order to systematize and monitoring programs that contribute to the development of managerial skills among managers as a way to better subsidize them in decision making. Therefore, the objectives have been achieved, as it seeks to analyze this perception. This study provides the opening for further research to other actors in the process.
