OKVIR MENADŽERSKIH NADLEŽNOSTI: STUDIJA KONATIVNE KOMPONENTE

This paper aims to study the conative component of competencies of managers in the post-transition economy of Slovenia. A conceptual framework of the tripartite components of competencies is developed and a sample of 183 managers in 11 small and medium enterprises from different sectors of industry is analyzed. The eventual disparity with the managers` conative component of competency and their job-related self-expectations and level of adaptation is analyzed. The results of the study suggest that Slovene managers are not aggressive initiative-takers but do not resist opportunities when they arise. However, the conative component of managers reveals that they might have problems coping with market and economic challenges because they will most likely shy away from taking the initiative in finding new opportunities.Cilj ovog rada jest proučavanje konativne nadležnosti menadžera u tranzicijskoj ekonomiji Slovenije. Konceptualni okvir trojnih komponenata nadležnosti temelji se na uzorku od 183 menadžera u 11 malih i srednjih poduzeća različitih industrijskih sektora. Proučena su eventualna nepodudaranja između menadžerske konativne komponente, njihovih osobnih očekivanja i razine prilagođavanja. Studija dokazuje da slovenski menadžeri nisu dovoljno agresivni u preuzimanju inicijativa, ali ne mogu odoljeti novim prilikama. Međutim, konativna komponenta ukazuje na njihove poteškoće u suočavanju s tržišnim i ekonomskim izazovima, s obzirom na pomalo stidljivi pristup u pronalaženju novih mogućnost
