[pt] Colaborar, essencial para o sucesso no mundo globalizado e conectado, exige comunicação, coordenação e cooperação entre os trabalhadores, cujas atividades se dão em grupos freqüentemente multidisciplinares, dinâmicos e geograficamente dispersos. Em resposta à necessidade de aprendizagem permanente, iniciativas em e-learning tem papel de destaque. E a conseqüente contínua evolução das competências pessoais enseja a adoção da gestão de pessoas para permitir, por exemplo, a localização de especialistas, a formação de grupos, a orientação do desenvolvimento individual e o planejamento estratégico da empresa. Unindo colaboração, educação à distância via Web e gestão de pessoas por competências, esta dissertação contém a pesquisa da extensão de um ambiente para a aprendizagem colaborativa (Ambiente AulaNet) com ferramentas de gestão por competências. É apresentado um embasamento teórico que esclarece vários conceitos da área, apresenta as três dimensões de uma competência e contrasta a gestão de conhecimento com a gestão de pessoas, informando também que tipos de perguntas esta última pode responder. Em seguida, explica-se em detalhes o modelo de competências desenvolvido para o AulaNet e como os diversos atores do ambiente podem se valer destas novas funcionalidades. Finalmente, apresenta-se um experimento realizado em 4 turmas de graduação da PUC-Rio utilizando o modelo proposto, bem como a conclusão tirada de seus resultados. / [en] Collaboration, key for the success in the connected globalized world, demands knowledge workers to communicate, coordinate and cooperate in dynamic, multidisciplinary and geographically dispersed groups. E-learning rises as an important answer to the pressing need of non-stop learning. And the resulting continuous evolution of personal competencies calls for the use of competency management practices to aid activities such as expert location, group formation, career services and strategic company-wide planning. Uniting the collaboration, e-learning and competency management fields, the present work encloses the research on the extension of a collaborative learning environment (the AulaNet) with competency management tools. The theory guiding this research clarifies many of the concepts of the area, introduces the three dimensions of a competency and compares knowledge management with competency-based people management while lists the questions competency management can address. Then, details of the competency model developed for the AulaNet Environment are explained, as well as how the actors playing their roles in the environment can benefit from its new features. The document finishes by presenting the conclusion drawn from an experiment using the competency model, carried out in 4 editions of disciplines at undergraduate courses at PUC-Rio.

Title: The competency profile of the coordinator of volunteers at a sports event Objectives: The main aim of this thesis is to create the competency profile of the coordinator of volunteers, primarily from the perspective of volunteers, for the needs of organizers of sports events especially in the Labe aréna Račice. The secondary tasks are to create the same profile from the perspective of managers, then from the perspective of volunteers and managers and to compare those particular perspectives. Methods: The thesis combines qualitative and quantitative methods. Based on expert literature studies and interviews with the coordinators of volunteers and other managers of sports events a list of competencies necessary for the effective work of the coordinator of volunteers was created. Then the importance of individual competencies was evaluated by written questioning of volunteers at the 2019 Junior and U23 Canoe Sprint European Championships. Results: The created competency profile includes 20 competencies that were evaluated by volunteers as the most important ones. These are competencies falling into the competency group personal characteristics: positive, trustworthy, responsible, diligent, friendly, mentally resistant, with natural authority, rational and calm. From the group skills, abilities,...

Presently, within the human resource management (HRM) genre and including the construction management discipline, the identification and development of appropriate performance measures is seen as the only viable means for validating and engendering managerial excellence. There is also a growing awareness that appropriate predictive modelling practices can help engender the identification and development of these measures. Against the background that project-based sectors of the construction industry in developing countries need to adopt a proactive approach towards recognising and embedding performance measures in HRM practices, this thesis addresses the development of a model for predicting the performance of project managers (PMs) in mass house building projects (MHBPs) in Ghana. A literature review of the significance of performance measures in the HRM genre is first presented including an evaluation of the methodologies for measuring the performance of PMs. This is followed by a review of research and development in the management of human resources in the construction industry in developing countries including Ghana. Informed by the literature, an appropriate theoretical framework is adopted which draws on the organisational psychology theory of job performance, the conventional wisdom in project success criteria and an emerging framework of project lifecycle. Subsequently, a competency-based multidimensional conceptual model is developed. The conceptual model reflects both the elements of performance behaviours and outcomes in predicting the performance of PMs at the conceptual, design, tender, procurement, construction and operational phases of the project lifecycle. Adopting positivism as an appropriate research paradigm, structured questionnaire survey is used to elicit the relevant data from property developers in Ghana for the construction phase of the project lifecycle. Subsequently the data is analysed using one-sample t-test, factor analysis and multiple regression analysis (stepwise). From a broad range of competency-based measures used as independent variables, it is found that, the best predictors of the PMs’ performance at the “construction phase” of MHBPs are: job knowledge in site layout techniques for repetitive construction works; dedication in helping works contractors to achieve works programme; job knowledge of appropriate technology transfer for repetitive construction works; effective time management practices on the house-units; ability to provide effective solution to conflicts while maintaining good relationships; ease with which the PM is approachable by works contractors; and volunteering to help works contractors solve personal problems. These independent variables explained 74.4% of the variance in the model (at p < 0.0005). Validation of the model confirmed its goodness of fit and hence predictive accuracy. The findings suggest that at the construction phase of MHBPs, PMs who exhibit these behavioural competencies are likely to achieve higher levels of performance. Accordingly, PMs who aspire to achieve better managerial performance outcome on MHBPs should strive towards developing and improving these competencies. It is contended that the developed model could be used by property developers for the selection and recruitment of potential PMs and also for developing appropriate training requirements towards best practice improvement in the implementation of MHBPs. While the study focuses on Ghana, there is the potential for the model to be adopted for use by other developing countries towards the advancement of improved HRM activities in project management practice.

The dissertation focuses on specifying a broader theoretical background for the implementation of leadership concepts in human resources management and on empirical identification and description of approaches that enable HR managers to recognize and develop desirable personality characteristics of a successful leader. In the surveyed area, a preliminary research was conducted on a sample of 22 HR managers. Subsequent primary research was carried out by combining a qualitative and quantitative research approach. A qualitative survey was conducted among 75 leaders, a quantitative survey was conducted on a sample of 75 leaders and 128 followers, from medium-sized industrial enterprises on the territory of South-Moravian region, in the period 3-6/2018 via a modified GLOBE questionnaire. Qualitative data were processed by content analysis. The processing of quantitative data through factor analysis has made it possible to identify the factors whose components support the success of the leader. Through the testing of statistical hypotheses, the dependence of the perceived behaviour of the leader on the satisfaction of his followers was verified. The main scientific goal is to propose a model for the development of leaders in industrial enterprises using the methods used in the concept of HRM. In order to achieve this goal, the desired concept of leadership in industrial enterprises established in the Czech Republic was identified. Based on the analysed facts, important components of the leader's personality and desirable styles of leadership of medium-sized industrial companies were identified. Team-oriented leadership style, formal style and charismatic leadership style are most desirable. Behaviour that has confirmed a positive impact on year-on-year satisfaction of subordinates is a stimulating, team-oriented, leader is an effective negotiator, dynamic, perfectionist, enthusiast, integrating, coordinator and to some extent also bureaucratic. The followers mention that their leader should be trustworthy, fair, team-oriented, diplomatic, and cooperative. Contrary to the current situation, the followers would especially welcome if the leadership behaviour was more team oriented. The grouping of the statistically significant components of the leader's personality enabled the creation of individual competence areas, whose description defined the personality profile of the leader of a medium-sized industrial company. At the same time, human resource management methods, which can influence and develop the competences defined in this area have been identified. The contribution of the dissertation consists mainly in the identification of individual components of competencies that can be developed through human resources management tools and thus develop the personality and leadership style of the middle-sized industrial company leader. The benefits of the proposed model can also be seen in terms of its use in identifying whether the leader's personality profile is in line with the expectations of his followers and in line with the leadership style, that is identified as appropriate in a medium-sized industrial environment.

Title: The Competency Profile of the Rhythmic Gymnastics Coach Objectives: The main aim of this thesis is to create the competency profile of the rhythmic gymnastics coach from the perspective of current and former rhythmic gymnasts, based on the identification of important competencies that Czech rhythmic gymnastics coaches lack. Methods: The thesis uses qualitative and quantitative methods. According to the expert literature studies, researches and interviews with the qualified rhythmic gymnastics coaches was created a list of four competency groups that should be needed for quality work of rhythmic gymnastics coach. After that current and former rhythmic gymnasts of the senior age category evaluated the importance of individual competencies and assessed the existence of these competencies in their rhythmic gymnastics coaches by electronic questioning. Results: Two theoretical competency profiles of the rhythmic gymnastics coach are created in the thesis, including competencies from all competency groups: personal characteristics, abilities and skills, education and knowledge, other specific competencies. The first profile includes 23 competencies that Czech coaches lack but the competencies are considered as important ones by the most rhythmic gymnasts. The second profile focuses on ideal...

The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is an innovative, team-based health care model that was applied during the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). However, the competencies for PCMH health care social worker team members are not identified within this model. Thus, the purpose of this phenomenological study focused on identifying the core competencies that will enable social workers to perform competently in PCMHs. This study also explored the roles and training needs as related to improving the competence of social workers. Sandberg’s and Parry’s conceptualization of the competency model was used as the theoretical framework. Data were acquired through interviews with 10 PCMH social workers. These data were then inductively coded and analyzed using a modified Moustakas method. Key findings indicated that these social workers believed that improvements in competencies may include training and knowledge with mental health and physical health knowledge which consist of diagnoses, interventions, medications, symptoms, and terminology. It was also noted that knowledge of evidence-based practices for mental health interventions and patient-centered, team-based principles were essential to ACA policy implementation. The positive social change implications of this study include recommendations to health care leadership, educational institutions, and other PCMH providers to develop competency-based training for social workers. Recommendations are also put forth to adapt social work curriculum to ensure the effective implementation of the principles of the ACA policy and to improve social work practice in PCMH health care settings.

Der Beruf der Staatlich anerkannten Erzieherin/des Staatlich anerkannten Erziehers hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten stark an gesellschaftlicher und bildungspolitischer Bedeutung gewonnen. Die angehenden ErzieherInnen sollen dementsprechend innerhalb der dreijährigen fachschulischen Ausbildung das Maximum an Kompetenzen aus verschiedenen Fachdisziplinen erwerben und im Berufsleben an wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen und Methoden ausgerichtet selbstständig handeln. Aktuelle Studien zeigen jedoch, dass die ErzieherInnen im Anschluss an die Ausbildung trotz umfangreicher ausbildungscurricularer Reformierungen und vielzähligen Qualitätsinitiativen seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre diesen Anforderungen zumeist nicht gerecht werden. Die Dissertation fokussiert die fachschulische Ausbildung und beleuchtet anhand von zwei Untersuchungen die Ausbildungssituation im Freistaat Sachsen. Dabei wird die mangelnde Kompetenzausrichtung von Lehre, Diagnostik und ministeriellen Vorgaben als Hauptursache identifiziert. Unter der Zielstellung ein Hilfsmittel für Dozenten als Lösungsansatz zu entwickeln, um die Lehre und Diagnostik kompetenzorientierter gestaltbar zu machen, wird ein innovatives umfassendes Kompetenzmodell entwickelt. Dieses Modell beschreibt berufsaufgabenbezogen präzise die erforderlichen Kompetenzen von ErzieherInnen in ihren Inhalts- und Verhaltensaspekten. Im Rahmen zweier empirischer Untersuchungen zeigt sich die Validität und Nützlichkeit des Kompetenzmodells der Erzieherausbildung.
