Abstract

Utilising new empirical research this study adapts an existing literature-based competency framework into a hierarchy of competencies needed for education middle managers in England to be effective in their role. The study involved a national survey (n = 164) of further education middle managers and is the first quantitative study investigating the role since 2002. The original contribution of the study is the development of a new ladder of competencies for education middle managers which outlines a suggested ordering of competency development with due consideration to prior training and qualifications. This can enable an improved approach to recruitment, selection and development of education middle managers. The paper presents parameters for consideration when developing competency frameworks for roles more widely which include: prior training, experience, expectations, and challenges of the post-holder as well as the external working environment. It highlights the value of such considerations and demonstrates the importance in paying due regard to them.

英国教育中层管理人员的能力阶梯

利用新的实证研究，本研究将现有的基于文献的能力框架调整为英格兰教育中层管理人员有效发挥其作用所需的能力层次。该研究涉及对继续教育中层管理人员的全国性调查(n = 164)，是自2002年以来首次对这一角色进行定量研究。本研究的最初贡献是为教育中层管理人员开发了一种新的能力阶梯，该阶梯概述了适当考虑先前培训和资格的能力发展的建议顺序。这可以改进教育中层管理人员的招聘、选拔和发展方法。本文提出了在为更广泛的角色开发能力框架时需要考虑的参数，包括:先前的培训、经验、期望和职位持有人的挑战以及外部工作环境。它突出了这些考虑的价值，并表明适当考虑这些因素的重要性。

期刊介绍： Increasing international competition has led governments and corporations to focus on ways of improving national and corporate economic performance. The effective use of human resources is seen as a prerequisite, and the training and development of employees as paramount. The growth of training and development as an academic subject reflects its growth in practice. The International Journal of Training and Development is an international forum for the reporting of high-quality, original, empirical research. Multidisciplinary, international and comparative, the journal publishes research which ranges from the theoretical, conceptual and methodological to more policy-oriented types of work. The scope of the Journal is training and development, broadly defined. This includes: The determinants of training specifying and testing the explanatory variables which may be related to training identifying and analysing specific factors which give rise to a need for training and development as well as the processes by which those needs become defined, for example, training needs analysis the need for performance improvement the training and development implications of various performance improvement techniques, such as appraisal and assessment the analysis of competence Training and development practice the design, development and delivery of training the learning and development process itself competency-based approaches evaluation: the relationship between training and individual, corporate and macroeconomic performance Policy and strategy organisational aspects of training and development public policy issues questions of infrastructure issues relating to the training and development profession The Journal’s scope encompasses both corporate and public policy analysis. International and comparative work is particularly welcome, as is research which embraces emerging issues and developments.
