摘要
This paper examines the assessed competency and performance of 100 British private sector managers and 120 Singaporean public sector managers. Factor models derived from managerial competencies considered important within different cultural and work environments are compared and faster career-progressing managers are differentiated from their peers. Research findings suggest that managerial competencies are broadly similar in importance across cultural environments. Competency differences are apparent where the work environment differs. Assessed competencies associated with planning, organizing and motivating others distinguish more rapid career-advancing managers regardless of their culture or work environment. While these competencies are necessary, findings indicate that they are not sufficient for career advancement. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
