SOCIAL COMPETENCES OF SLOVENIAN SPORT MANAGERS

The study aimed at analysing how Slovenian sports managers assesses the importance of social competences and self-assess their own social competences, taken from the model Key competences of Slovenian sport managers. They have ranged only two social competences at a very high level. We found that the assessment of importance on one hand and the self-assessment of one's own competences on the other hand regarding the same competence correlate negatively. The results have shown, that managers assesses certain social competences to a very high level of importance, and that, nevertheless, leadership and technical competences seem to stay remain more important. According to managers' self assessment their social competences are less developed than they are important. This opens up the opportunity to further develop and strengthen the successfulness of sports management.
