Desenvolvimento de competências dos administradores para uma carreira de sucesso

Abstract

The objective of this study is to understand how students and graduates of the administration course at UFMT Campus Rondonópolis-MT have developed their competencies in search of a successful career. In methodological terms, the multi-method research approach was used, occurring at two different times. Data collection took place through interviews with students and teachers with the purpose of extracting information for the composition of the questionnaire that was applied to the egressed students with closed questions and open questions, which reinforces the use of multi-method research. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques and statistical techniques using the SPSS 20 (Statistical Package of Sciences). Qualitative results made it possible to discover seven categories according to the perceptions of students and teachers (knowledge acquisition, career, administrator challenges, competence development, internship, theory and practice, and protagonism) about competency and career development. The quantitative results showed that there were statistically significant differences according to the perception of competence development involving the demographic variables gender, mother's formation and “being working during graduation”, while related to the career, there are statistically significant differences involving the demographic variables mother, school hours and income. As a suggestion of future research, studies related to this can be performed, in order to observe and analyze students and graduates periodically, as the market and the world undergo constant changes, and may require other skills that need to be acquired by administrators.
