Competencies Pattern of Human Resources Managers for Public Organizations in the Context of Globalization

Abstract

The process of globalization has challenged corporate managers. Human resources managers must have special competencies in order to be able to benefit from human resources. Designing a model of competencies of HR managers in governmental organizations in the context of globalization is the purpose of this research. In order to design the template, the indexes were acquired through the Delphi method and an expert questionnaire from 21 professors and management experts. A review of the theories made to explain this point helps to understand the concepts related to the competencies of human resources managers and globalization situations in seven dimensions: intelligence competency, managerial competency, specialized competency, value creation of human resources competency, cultural competency, the social dimension of globalization and the cultural dimension of globalization. What distinguishes this research from other merit-related researches is the design of a contingency framework that links the types of managerial competencies to globalization. Findings of the study identified 39 components and 115 indicators related to these dimensions. Based on the results of the research, in the competencies of human resources managers, the most important factor is the IQ Competency, and cultural competency is the last priority.
