Analysis of the Required Competences to Collegiate Members of the Posgraduate Program in University Administration at Ufsc to Carry Out the Expected Actions in Strategic Planning

Abstract

This study aims to identify the necessary competences of the members of the Collegiate of the Program in University Administration at UFSC to carry out the actions foreseen in its strategic planning. The work is justified by the need to deepen studies on Management by Competencies in the field of universities, seeking to advance discussions on the subject and develop new implications with regard to the necessary competencies of collegiate members in graduate programs. We sought to identify the actions foreseen in the strategic planning of the PPGAU/UFSC; define the competencies foreseen in the Program's strategic planning; map the competences of the members of its Full Collegiate and suggest referral actions for managers and members involved in strategic actions. As for the methodology, it is a research with a qualitative approach, a case study, with bibliographical and documental research, being used interviews and content analysis. The survey results show a considerable amount of skills that were identified and validated by the interviewees and by the PPGAU/UFSC Coordination, which indicates the thoroughness of public service actions and the selection of the most suitable individuals to perform the actions that culminate in the objectives of strategic planning. The conclusions suggest that competency management is a fundamental requirement for achieving excellence within university institutions and that scientific contributions are indispensable for academic managers to expand the range of tools available for professional practice in the daily routine of university management.
