Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The purpose of this research was to investigate the social and cultural constructions of leadership and how search committee members evaluate candidates for leadership positions. Moreover, how they conceptualize, measure, and evaluate leadership potential of candidates. To explore this issue, the following research questioned were answered: How do members of an executive search committee construct their views of leadership?; In what ways do the individual, social, and cultural constructions of leadership held by search committee members influence behaviors and outcomes of a search committee? In this study, I investigated how members of a search committee constructed their views of leadership and in turn how this influenced the search process for an executive leader. In order to explore this issue, this study is approached through the constructivism paradigm and informed by critical inquiry, using case study methodology. I followed one executive search process from the charge meeting until the committee made its recommendation to the hiring authority. The unit analyzed in this search employed a leadership competency model and tools which mapped to this model, in an effort to mitigate the influence of bias. I used semi-structured interviews with committee members to understand their views on leadership. I supplemented interviews with observations and document analysis as means of collecting data for the study. Three findings emerged through data analysis: the role of background and identity on views of leadership, the influence of personal and societal constructions of leadership on individual behaviors and search outcomes, and the application or utility of using a leadership competency model. Through my findings, I demonstrated how individual’s background and identity shaped their perceptions of what it meant to be a leader. Additionally, how they rated and talked about candidates matched their individual views about leadership rather than the leadership competency model they were asked to use. More specifically, analysis illuminated that minoritized search committee members had drastically different beliefs about leadership and experiences serving on the search committee. I concluded the study by outlining implications for policy, future practice, and future research, including offering a conceptual framework and tools for an equity-minded search process.

The thesis deals with the creation of three competencies models, based on a competencies analysis for selected non-managerial job roles requiring further professional development, namely Warehouse Coordinator, Junior Accountant and Sales Administrative Assistant. The duly compiled competencies model then creates a realistice representation of the knowledge and skills the staff need for the given job role. When it comes to the professional development and training of existing staff, the competencies model is a reliable tool for identifying the educational needs of individual employees, and detecting hidden talents in good time. This makes it easier to set the developmental, educational and training activities for the employee, not only to achieve the required competencies, but also to meet the goals of the organization as a whole. The thesis contributes by having undertaken a competencies analysis and created three competencies models, together with proposals and recommendations for their use in the professional development and training of the employees concerned. The thesis is divided into two parts - the theoretical part deals with the general theoretical definitions of competencies, competencies models and staff training. The practical part of the thesis comprises an overview of the organization...

O papel dos profissionais que atuam com Tecnologia da Informação (TI) nas organizações tem passado por diversas transformações e os Gestores de TI que atuavam especificamente em questões táticas e operacionais nas áreas mais técnicas, passaram também a ser envolvidos em decisões estratégicas envolvendo a TI. Assim, durante esta transformação os profissionais de TI deixaram os CPDs e passaram a estar mais presentes e próximos a outros setores da organização, com por exemplo a área de negócio. Em 2006, Lee e Lee, mapearam as competências para os Gestores de TI como sendo Técnica, Negócio e Sistema e no mesmo ano Wu et al. (2006), identificaram a competência estratégica como parte das atividades críticas do Gestor de TI. O CIO (Chief Information Officer) é o nome dado atualmente ao responsável pela tecnologia da informação numa organização e suas competências essenciais foram mapeadas nos estudos de Vreuls (2009) e Vreuls e Joia (2012) como sendo: Visão de negócio, Suporte ao negócio, Capacidade de influenciar a organização, Capacidade técnica, Networking externo, Gestão da operação de TI e Visão inovadora. Assim, a partir da evolução das competências dos Gestores de TI, a pesquisa analisou, através de um estudo de caso, como as competências dos Gestores de TI se aproximam das competências do CIO. Além de tomar por base os estudos de Lee e Lee (2006), Wu et al. (2006) e Vreuls (2009), também foi realizada uma análise comparativa com o modelo clássico de Katz (1974) Com a escolha destes modelos teóricos foi realizado um estudo comparativo entre a evolução dos estudos sobre competências gerenciais em diversos níveis. Os dados primários foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e observação participante e os dados secundários foram obtidos através de fontes documentais do caso estudado. A análise dos dados foi realizada através da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados deste estudo indicam que as competências dos Gestores de TI se aproximam de três das sete competências do CIO e que apesar de estarem nos níveis táticos ou operacionais tem uma participação na área estratégica, o que implica no desenvolvimento dos Gestores de TI e também podem servir como um guia para atração e retenção de talentos na gestão de TI. / The role of Information Technology (IT) professionals in organizations has undergone many transformations, and IT Managers who have been specifically involved in tactical and operational issues in more technical areas have also become involved in strategic decisions involving IT. Thus, during this transformation IT professionals left the CPDs and became more present and close to other sectors of the organization, for example the business area. In 2006, Lee and Lee mapped the competencies for IT Managers as Technical, Business and System and in the same year Wu et al. (2006) identified the Strategic competence as part of the IT Manager's critical activities. The CIO (Chief Information Officer) is the current name given to the head of information technology in an organization and its core competencies have been mapped in the studies of Vreuls (2009) and Vreuls and Joia (2012) as: Business vision, Business support, Ability to influence the organization, Technical capacity, External networking, IT operation management and Innovative vision. Thus, from the evolution of the competences of the IT Managers, the present study analyzed through a case study how the competences of the IT Managers approach the competencies of the CIO In addition to Lee and Lee (2006), Wu et al. Al (2006) and Vreuls (2009), a comparative analysis was also carried out with the classic Katz model (1974). With the choice of these theoretical models, a comparative study was carried out between the evolution of the studies on managerial competences at several levels. The primary data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participant observation, and the secondary data were obtained through documentary sources of the case studied. Data analysis was performed through content analysis. The results of this study indicate that the competencies of IT Managers approach three of the CIO's seven competencies and that although they are at tactical or operational levels, they have a participation in the strategic area, which implies the development of IT Managers and can also serve as a guide for attracting and retaining talent in IT management.

This study proposed an activity competency model (ACM) to investigate the perceived importance of managerial activities and skills required of three levels of nurse managers from three levels of hospitals. A survey instrument was designed based on the ACM for data collection that encompasses forty-two initial nursing management activities and twelve managerial skills required to effectively perform these management activities that were identified through literature review, job analysis, and iterative personal interviews with domain experts. Our findings indicate that the importance of nurse managerial activities is significantly different from the levels of management, but not significantly different from the levels of hospitals. In particular, top and middle levels of management perceived the human resources management related activities as more important than the supervisory management. Middle management perceived the importance of operation management significantly higher than supervisory management. Top management perceived the importance of goal setting & planning significantly higher than middle management. Middle management perceived the importance of goal setting & planning significantly higher than supervisory management. Supervisory management perceived the importance of material & environment management significantly higher than top and middle managements. The results from this study provide implication guidelines for management development programs, training, and the career planning for nurse managers. They also can serve as guideline for recruiting and selecting the effective nurse managers.
