Competency Identification for Mid-Management Personnel: An Aid to Program Evaluation and Individualized Instruction. Final Report.
Sireno, Peter J.
To determine the core competencies essential for entry employment and/or advancement for mid-management (supervisory) positions, data was collected based on the following objectives: identify mid-management job titles within the public and private sectors of the economy whereby occupational entry can be obtained by completing preservice and mid-management vocational programs or inservice mid-management vocational programs; identify the occupational competencies needed by mid-management personnel as determined by the mid-management position incumbents; cluster these occupational competencies; and provide vocational planners with the competencies. Questionnaires were sent to 243 employers and 1,000 employees in sixteen different industries, public and private, in Missouri. Responses (from 40%) represented ten industries. The major conclusions found were these: there are a number of mid-management positions that can be secured by the two-year mid-management graduate, particularly in the manufacturing industry; a definite need exists for the institutions of higher education to play a more active role in providing inservice mid-management programs; there are a set of common core competencies needed by mid-management personnel employed in both the private and public sectors; and the set of core competencies identified in this project can be used as the basis for developing and/or revising inservice mid-management programs and individualized instructional packages. Four major recommendations were made to vocational program planners. (Author/BM)
