Em busca da excelência na prestação de serviços à sociedade, o modelo gerencial define mudanças nas atribuições e papéis do administrador público. Fundamentando-se no modelo de gestão por competências, o presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar e identificar o gap, isto é, as lacunas de competências profissionais dos servidores públicos investidos em funções gerenciais na unidade administrativa central de uma instituição federal de ensino superior. A construção do debate teórico consiste na abordagem das competências individuais relacionadas às atividades de natureza gerencial, tema de efetivo reconhecimento no contexto acadêmico e organizacional. A proposta é avaliar qualitativamente as competências de gestão e o potencial de desempenho, segundo a percepção desses profissionais em suas áreas de atuação, para averiguar sua conformidade com as diretrizes balizadas em resultados organizacionais, as quais norteiam a reforma gerencial. Outros temas correlacionados, adicionalmente, foram objetos de discussão como gestão de pessoas, capital intelectual, gestão do conhecimento e aprendizagem. Quanto ao método de investigação, foi adotado o estudo de caso, limitando-se a pesquisa ao ambiente gerencial da universidade pública em análise. A natureza da pesquisa é exploratória, descritiva e aplicada e de abordagem predominantemente qualitativa quanto à natureza dos dados. A amostra foi constituída por gestores selecionados por acessibilidade e distribuída em dois grupos: alta gerência, representada pelos membros que compõem o nível estratégico da instituição; e média gerência, compreendida pelos integrantes do nível tático responsáveis pelo gerenciamento de equipes setoriais. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram que, de um modo geral, não ocorreram grandes diferenças de percepções entre as avaliações dos grupos de gestores pesquisados. Em análise dos julgamentos realizados, no critério importância, todos os participantes expressaram graus elevados para as competências estudadas, considerando-as relevantes para o desempenho de suas práticas gerenciais, enquanto que no critério domínio as avaliações apresentaram graus medianos a satisfatórios. Não foi detectada nenhuma competência apontada em nível crítico de insuficiência, todavia competências relativas a gerenciamento de pessoas, autocontrole do equilíbrio emocional em situações de pressão e estresse no ambiente de trabalho, participação em cursos de treinamento, criação de ambiente propício ao compartilhamento do conhecimento, planejamento de mudanças e aquelas vinculadas à inovação compreenderam os principais gaps encontrados, sendo recomendado investimentos em aprendizagem visando o aprimoramento gerencial da categoria. A partir desse estudo, espera-se oportunizar a autoavaliação dos gestores e a reflexão sobre as novas exigências e realidades do setor público em relação às competências necessárias e fundamentais ao perfeito desempenho de suas funções. Adicionalmente, a pesquisa busca contribuir para o direcionamento de políticas voltadas à formação dos profissionais integrantes da equipe gerencial da organização pública investigada. / The managerial reform of the Brazilian state introduced a new model of public administration committed to efficiency, flexibility and results-oriented management. In pursuit of excellence in providing services to the company, the management model defines changes in roles and responsibilities of the public administrator. Basing on the model of competency management, this study aims to investigate and identify the gap, ie the gap of professional skills of civil servants invested in management positions in the central administrative unit of a federal institution of higher education. The construction of the theoretical debate is the approach of individual skills related to activities of a managerial nature, subject to effective recognition in academic and organizational context. The proposal is qualitatively evaluate the management skills and potential performance as perceived these professionals in their fields, to verify their compliance with the guidelines delineated in organizational outcomes, which guide the management reform. Other related issues, additionally, were the subject of discussion as people management, intellectual capital, knowledge management and learning. The method of research, we adopted the case study, limited to research environmental management of the public university in question. The nature of research is exploratory, descriptive and applied predominantly qualitative approach and the nature of the data. The sample consisted of managers selected by accessibility and distributed into two groups: top management, represented by the members that make up the strategic level of the institution, and middle management, understood by members of tactical teams responsible for managing sector. Research results show that, in general, no major differences observed between evaluations of groups of administrators surveyed. In analysis of the judgments made in the important criterion, all participants expressed high grades for skills studied, considering them relevant to the performance of their management practices, while the criterion field assessments showed the median satisfactory grades. It was not detected in any jurisdiction pointed critical level of failure, however competencies relating to people management, self-control of emotional balance in situations of pressure and stress in the workplace, participation in training courses, creation of environment conducive to knowledge sharing, planning changes and those related to innovation understood the main gaps found, and recommended investments in learning aimed at improving managerial category. From this study, it is expected to create opportunities for managers' self-assessment and reflection on the new realities and requirements of the public sector in relation to the fundamental skills and the perfect performance of their duties. Additionally, the research seeks to contribute to the targeting of policies aimed at training professional members of the management team of the public organization investigated.

Quand le contexte organisationnel d'une entreprise évolue, quelles sont les conséquences sur le rôle des managers ? La littérature traitant du travail managérial a longtemps considéré que le rôle du manager était stable et unique quel que soit l'environnement organisationnel dans lequel il prenait place. Pourtant les recherches en design organisationnel montrent que les évolutions profondes des modes de coordination ont un impact sur la hiérarchie et la chaîne d'encadrement verticale qui la caractérise, donc sur le rôle des managers dans la coordination. On peut alors se demander comment procéder pour faire évoluer les rôles managériaux. Quels leviers peuvent servir à transformer les pratiques des managers ? Pour étudier cette question, nous avons suivi pendant plusieurs années en recherche intervention une administration publique qui a entrepris de transformer ses rôles managériaux suite à une évolution forte de son environnement et de ses missions. Nous avons appliqué une grille d'analyse conçue à partir des travaux sur les dynamiques de rôles des managers qui permet d'étudier le nouveau rôle de manager et la capacité des managers à entrer dans ce rôle. Pour parvenir à jouer leur rôle les managers mobilisent des ressources cognitives, stratégiques et subjectives. Un diagnostic des ressources disponibles individuellement et collectivement est donc nécessaire pour étudier la capacité des managers à entrer dans le nouveau rôle.L'étude de la démarche de professionnalisation des managers mise en place dans cette administration montre la volonté de faire acquérir des compétences aux managers. Or nous démontrons la difficulté à expliciter et à transmettre ces compétences via ce type de formation. D'autre part les managers ne disposent pas collectivement des ressources stratégiques nécessaires pour faire ce qu'on leur demande. Et on constate parfois individuellement des déficits de ressources subjectives. On pourrait donc anticiper un blocage dans la dynamique d'appropriation des rôles.Une étude des évolutions sur plusieurs années permet de constater trois situations où les blocages sont levés :1. les rôles ne sont pas les mêmes pour tous les managers et certains disposent de davantage de ressources que les autres quand l'activité requiert une évolution forte de leur rôle. 2. quand ils ne disposent pas des ressources suffisantes, certains managers s'efforcent d'acquérir de nouvelles ressources 3. ou bien, il arrive que l'organisation évolue vers des situations de management partagé pour prendre en charge une fonction managériale que les managers ne peuvent prendre en charge, faute de ressources individuelles et/ou collectives suffisantes. / When organisational context is evolving, what are the consequences for the role of managers ? Litterature about managerial work considered for a long time that the managerial role was single and steady whatever was its organisational background. Nevertheless, researches in organizational design point that a deep development of organizational configuration impact the company's hierarchy and the managerial role of coordination. How to proceed to change managerial roles ? Which actions can transform managers practices?This thesis adressed this issue on the basis of a several years collaborative research in a public administration. This administration decided to transform managerial roles after a deep change of its environment and its missions. We applied an analytical framework built from a review of managerial identity work litterature. The framework guides us to study the new managerial role and how managers can perform this new role. The study implies a diagnosis of cognitive, strategic and subjective ressources available for managers individually and collectivelly.The case of a procedure of management professionalization, set up in this administration, shows the means used to have managers acquire new competences. This also shows how difficult it is to explicit and to transfer the managerial competences by this type of training. Moreover, managers don't have collectively the required strategic ressources to do what they are supposed to do. Besides, some managers don't have individually the needed subjective ressources. Hence a block of role dynamic could be anticipated.A study of evolutions during severals years allow to show three situations where block are resolved :1. roles are not the same for all managers and some of them have more ressources than others when activity requires a deep role evolution. 2. when ressources are insufficient, some managers tried to acquire new ressources. 3. or, sometimes the organization evolved towards situations of shared management to take charge of the managerial function, which managers can't stand because of a lack of ressources, collectively and/or individually.

Legal status of managers when terminating employment This thesis deals with the topic of the legal status of a manager when terminating employment. The first chapter outlines the gradual evolution of a job position of an employee- manager in between the years 1918 to 2006 and shows conditions under which it was possible to terminate employment with an employee in a managerial position. The next chapter introduces the individual participants to the employment relationships that is an employee, manager and employer. The third chapter describes the two possible ways how to commence employment in case of a manager which is the appointment or the employment contract and defines all the requirements necessary to comply with so the employment is valid. The following chapter concentrates on the rights and obligations of ordinary employees and managers and the obligations of employers. Managers have the same rights and obligations as ordinary employees, but as they also have to fulfil the role of an intermediator between employer and ordinary employees, they enjoy additional rights and obligations. The fifth chapter focuses on the termination of employment of both managers and ordinary employees. The chapter illustrates in detail three ways how to terminate employment. Employment may be terminated by legal...

Studien handlar om att skapa förståelse kring huruvida restaurangchefer är i högre grad uppgifts- eller relationsorienterade i sitt ledarskap samt hur de hanterat corona pandemin. Studien har tagit utgångspunkt i insamling av empirisk data, för att vidare analysera materialet med hjälp av den teoretiska referensramen. Under den teoretiska referensramen har data samlats in kring de berörda ledarstilarna och hur de skiljer sig från varandra, samt hur en kris och krishantering kan se ut. Studiens empiriska avsnitt utgår ifrån en kvalitativ metod insamling där sju restaurangchefer intervjuades. Respondenterna och dess restauranger är belägna i Göteborg. Uppsatsens empiriska resultat stödjer teoretiska referensramen som implementeras i analysavsnittet.Författarna presenterar slutligen i slutsatsen att restaurangcheferna använder en kombination av uppgifts- och relationsorienterat ledarskap. Författarna kan dessutom fastslå att ingen chef utesluter den ena ledarskapsstilen. Studien visar tydliga samband där restaurangcheferna är antingen mer relations- eller uppgiftsorienterade i sitt ledarskap. I analysavsnittet visar det sig att restaurangcheferna hanterar krisen på olika sätt. De relationsorienterade restaurangcheferna var innovativa och arbetade med att skapa ytterligare intäkter, medans den uppgiftsorienterade ledaren effektiviserade organisationen och kapade kostnader. Ledarna har dock varit tydliga att ingen krisstrategi formats i förväg. Samtliga ledare har agerat reaktivt under den rådande pandemin då ingen liknande händelse inträffat dessförinnan. / The study is about creating an understanding of whether restaurant managers are more task- or relationship-oriented in their leadership and how they have handled the corona pandemic. The study is based on two parts, one of which is the collection of empirical data, the other from the theoretical frame of reference. During the theoretical frame of reference, data has been collected on the relevant leadership styles and how they differ from each other, as well as what a crisis and crisis management can look like. The empirical section of the study is based on a qualitative collection method where seven restaurant managers were interviewed. The respondents and their restaurants are located in Gothenburg. The empirical evidence of the thesis is supported in the theoretical frame of reference that is implemented in the analysis section.The authors presents in the conclusion that restaurant managers use a combination of task and relationship-oriented leadership. The authors can also state that no manager excludes a leadership style. The study shows clear connections where restaurant managers are either more relational or task-oriented in their leadership. In the analysis section, it turns out that the restaurant managers handle the crisis in different ways. The relationship-oriented restaurant managers were innovative and worked to create additional revenue, while the task-oriented leader streamlined the organization and reduced costs. However, the leaders have been clear that no crisis strategy has been formulated in advance. All leaders have acted reactively during the current pandemic because no similar event has occurred before.

Bakgrund: Chefers arbetsdagar är fragmenterade eftersom de ofta avbryts med problem som behöver lösas. I många fall är det medarbetare som förmedlar arbetsrelaterade problem i syfte att förbättra verksamheten. Hur chefer påverkas personligen i det dagliga arbetet läggs ingen större vikt vid utan det är oftare deras arbetsuppgifter som diskuteras. Men eftersom de inte kan styra och påverka alla processer som de är involverade i, kan de känna uppgivenhet. Om chefer får ökad kunskap om hur de kan hantera sin fragmenterade arbetssituation kan både deras och organisationens välbefinnande öka. Syfte: Att bidra med fördjupad kunskap om chefers beteende genom att studera deras känslor och agerande vid arbetsrelaterade problem. Metod: Studiens frågeställning har undersökts med de kvalitativa insamlingsmetoderna dagbok och semistrukturerade intervjuer. Totalt har nio respondenter medverkat i studien. Alla respondenter arbetar som chefer med medarbetaransvar. Resultat/Slutsats: Studiens resultat visar att chefer föredrar att hantera vardagliga arbetsrelaterade problem, som medarbetare förmedlar, genom: vägledning, ge stöd, samverkan, intuition, grundligt agerande, defensivt agerande, ultimatum, i förbifarten och skifta fokus. Resultatet visade även att cheferna såg det som en naturlig del av deras arbetsuppgifter att lyssna på medarbetarnas problem dels för medarbetares välmående, dels för företagets utveckling. / Background: Managers' working days are fragmented because they are often interrupted by problems that need to be solved. In many cases, it is employees who mediate work-related problems in order to improve the business. How managers are personally affected in their daily work is not given much importance, but it is more often their tasks that are discussed. But because they can not control and influence all the processes to which they are involved in, they can feel resigned. If managers gain increased knowledge about how they can deal with their fragmented work situation, both their and the organization's well-being can increase. Purpose: Contribute with deeper knowledge of managers’ behaviors by studying their feelings and actions related to problems at work. Method: The study's question has been investigated with the qualitative collection methods diary and semi-structured interviews. A total of nine respondents participated in the study. All respondents work as managers with employee responsibility. Results/Conclusion: The results of the study show that managers prefer to manage everyday work-related problems, which employees convey, through: guidance, providing support, cooperate, intuition, thorough action, defensive action, ultimatum, in passing and shifting focus. The results also showed that managers considered it a natural part of their job tasks to listen to the employees' problems, partly for the well-being of employees, partly for the company's development.

Students from 24 participating regions take part in teams of four in the CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) GBC (Global Business Challenge) annually. The GBC is in the form of a business competition which is based on a case study of a real company. The participants receive the case study on which they should submit a written report. Teams are shortlisted based on the reports, and the shortlisted teams have to prepare a presentation to a panel of judges. This study explores whether participation in the GBC had any benefits for the participants in terms of exposure to various skills and the development of those skills. The skills included: technical skills and competencies, skills in roles of an accountant, soft skills, managerial accounting skills, financial management skills, strategic analysis skills, subject exploration, learning behaviour, practical application, and personal experience. A questionnaire was given to participants whose teams managed to compete in the global final of the GBC 2013 that was held in South Africa. Questions were formulated to address exposure to and development of the abovementioned skills, and participants had to complete the questionnaire individually. Relevant statistical analyses were done on the data collected in the questionnaire. These statistical analyses included a confirmatory factor analysis, calculation of the Cronbach alpha coefficients, descriptive statistics for the total group, independent t-tests for comparisons between two variables, ANOVAs (analysis of variances) for comparisons between more than two variables and Tukey’s post-hoc tests. Descriptive statistics for the entire group of participants are discussed, as well as comparisons made between various sub-classifications. The sub-classifications included a comparison between male and female participants, participants from different regions, top six shortlisted teams and teams who were not shortlisted, and participants whose mother tongue is English and those whose mother tongue is another language. The findings indicated that the students definitely perceived that they have been exposed to the mentioned skills as a result of taking part in the GBC. They also indicated that they are of the opinion that participation in the GBC enhanced those skills. The qualitative remarks were mainly positive, and indicated that the students enjoyed participation in the GBC. The study concludes with recommendations to the core audience of future GBC participants, academic mentors and future students attempting the final CIMA examinations, which includes a framework of the most important skills. A recommendation is also made to the peripheral audience of CIMA and financial management lecturers. / MCom (Management Accountancy), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

The fabric of the workforce is changing. Indeed, domestic managers are working with an increasingly multicultural workforce at home while managers who travel abroad often work with people from multiple cultures. Concurrently, managers are often required to work with people in organizations that span across geographic boundaries, located in various time zones, relying mainly on information technology. However, empirical guidelines to train managers facing these challenges are scant as management typologies fall short when it comes to identifying the skills needed for simultaneously working with people from multiple cultural backgrounds.The goal of this study was to identify a repertoire of multicultural managerial competencies for work at home and abroad, in face-to-face contexts and via the use of technology. Using competency modeling as a conceptual framework, we enlisted the help of 20 mid- to upper-level managers who were invited to participate in individual behavioral event interviews to discuss positive and negative critical incidents and to answer questions grounded in job analysis. Data was analyzed using thematic (content) analysis based on a mixed method, a process that mostly illustrated the emergence of new competencies. ATLAS.ti was then used to code transcripts and to cross-reference behaviors according to emerging competency categories. Managers were then invited to validate the relevance of the initial version of the typology and to confirm that no competencies or related behaviors were missing.The resulting Multicultural Managerial Competency (MMC) typology, outlining five competence categories that combine 12 competencies along with their 71 corresponding behavioral indicators, makes both theoretical and practical contributions while offering flexibility for application. Indeed, the MMC typology illustrates an overlap between management and intercultural/cross-cultural literature, confirming that managers in multicultural contexts are called upon to invest in the management of trusting relationships, in distance management, as well as in expatriate management. Multicultural elements also permeate classic business and team functions thereby giving management requirements a new form. In terms of practical applications, the MMC typology provides concrete behavioral indicators for managers to use as guidelines for competence and serves to inform the creation of university curricula in international management.
