This chapter analyzes the concept of competency from a managerial perspective, exploring the competence model in the Public Sector from a theoretical and a practical view. First, we explore the concept of competency, distinguishing a rationalist and positivist approach—entity-based perspective—and a more sociological background—social construction perspective. Then, we give a broader picture of public management competences, describing competency-based Public Administration research and illustrating the evidence related to the behavioral competences of Italian public employees. Afterward, we analyze the relationship between human resource management practices and managerial competencies in an international and national public context. |
