Abstract
Introduction: In the current turbulent world of business, organizations have to try and compete to identify, attract and retain the most qualified managers as a competitive advantage. One of the most significant areas of a country is its health sector. Undoubtedly, the policies of senior and middle managers of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education play a pivotal role in the health system. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the required competencies for managers to improve efficiency and quality of services. This study aimed to design a competency model for selecting and appointing qualified people in the Ministry of Health and Medical Education. A comprehensive model in this regard can be useful in selecting and appointing qualified people for the tenure of organizational positions in the realm of health.
Materials and Methods: The present study is explanatory and survey-based and employed a mixed method (qualitative and quantitative) approach. First, semi-structured interviews and content analysis were used to identify the variables. Then, structural equation modeling was measured using a quantitative questionnaire. The statistical population was all managers of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education in Tehran; fourteen of them were selected through snowball sampling.
Results: The extracted model has five levels including competency dimensions, competency approaches, competency large-scale fields, factors related to competency, and different types of competencies. The results showed that the professional-operational component had the highest ranking and effects on the achievements of managers.
Conclusion: The results showed that interactive and professional-operational skills had the highest ranking among other components.
