Processes used by managers to acquire skills, knowledge and attitudesButcher, Carol Anne January 1999 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Management,
University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial
fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of
Management, Johannesburg (February, 1999) / This research report investigates the processes used by
middle managers to acquire skills, knowledge and
attitudes. An understanding of the processes that best
develops each of these is important since each has an
impact on managerial effectiveness. The literature review
revealed that very little research has been undertaken to
discover how middle managers acquire these necessary
abilities to become effective managers.
The research methodology comprised the self-completion of
questionnaires. The sample consisted of 111 respondents,
all of whom had at least two years experience in middle
management. The. respondents were all students currently
studying at the Wits Business School.
Respondents rated various training techniques and
learning styles and indicated whether each best developed
skills, knowledge or attitudes. Quantitative data
analysis such as two variable chi square tests, frequency
distributions, means, and modes were used.
The results revealed that skills, knowledge and attitudes
are acquired differently. Furthermore, the research
revealed that sector and gender did not influence the
learning methods. A list of best practices for the
development of skills, knowledge and attitudes was
developed. / MT2017

The identification of management potentialJenk, Margaret Ruth January 1991 (has links)
A RESEARCH REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND, JOHANNESBURG, IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR
THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF MANAGEMENT (HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT) / The study was undertaken in order to determine whether it
would be possible to isolate certain competencies
which could be used to identify individuals with management potential in a population
of branch and area managers within a financial institution.
The competencies selected
for study were extracted from an extensive review
of the relevant literature and were selected for
both relevance and ease of measurement. The
competencies were Locus of Control, Achievement
Motivation, Cognitive skills and Interpersonal
skills.
The subjects were divided into two groups on the
basis of a panel assessment by senior management
of the organisation. The first group consisted
of those individuals who were seen as having the
potential for further advancement and the second
of the balance. The relevant competencies were
measured for both groups.
It was found that age, time spent in current position, Control of
Social relationships, a sub-factor of Locus of Control and Awareness of
level and Personal Excellence, sub-factors of Achievement Motivation
differentiated significantly between the two
groups. In addition, Cognitive and Interpersonal
skills differentiated strongly between the two
groups.
Contrary to expectations, subjects with potential
were found to be significantly more externally
controlled with respect to the factor Control of
Social relationships.
Possible reasons for this are explored.
Finally, it was attempted to construct a
predictive model for use in identifying
management potential. The model met with limited
success, but was significant in that it
highlighted the inadequacies of the
"country-club" method of assessment. / Andrew Chakane 2018
