Managerial competencies: an analysis of classifications in empirical studies/Competencias gerenciais: uma analise de classificacoes em estudos empiricos/Competencias de gestion: un analisis de clasificaciones en estudios empiricos

This study presents a literature review on managerial competencies (MC) in order to identify the most mentioned classifications of MC in empirical studies (including schemes, models, categorizations, or even the mere identification of MC in a particular locus of research) from 2005 to 2015. Using bibliographic research and content analysis with a posteriori classification, 46 articles were investigated, along with their common and seminal references. It was concluded that the Quinn model was the most recurrent during the period studied as it appeared in 12 studies. Regarding the other 34 articles, the MC categories with a higher incidence were: result oriented (clients, processes, costs, market, products, projects, etc.); ability to work with people and teams (interpersonal relationship, cooperation, etc.); leadership, coordination, and motivation; ability to work in changing environments (innovation and situational adaptability capability); communication; planning; knowledge management; organization and control (resource allocation, mobilization, and monitoring); Attitudes and Values (ethics, initiative, commitment, etc.); and knowledge and technical skills in the field. Inquiries and criticisms were presented for the last two categories. Among several research recommendations, studies should identify the most relevant MC, even generic or transversal ones, in order to facilitate or allow the diagnosis of MC, providing further studies to concentrate on mapping specific competencies of the studied locus of research, as well as the replication of the study to verify the dynamic behavior of MC over time. Keywords: Competencies. Managerial competencies. Classification of managerial competencies. Managerial competency models. Este trabalho apresenta uma revisao de literatura sobre competencias gerenciais (MC), visando identificar as classificacoes de MC mais citadas em estudos empiricos (contendo esquemas, modelos, categorizacoes ou ainda a mera identificacao de MC em determinado locus de pesquisa) entre 2005 e 2015. Por meio de pesquisa bibliografica e analise de conteudo com categorizacao a posteriori, foram investigados 46 artigos, alem de suas referencias comuns e seminais. Como resultado, pode-se concluir que o Modelo de Quinn (1988) foi o mais recorrente no periodo, estando presente em 12 estudos, e que, quanto aos 34 demais artigos, as categorias de MC com maior incidencia foram: Orientacao para resultados (clientes, processos, custos, mercado, produtos,
