Gestão por competências na administração pública: reflexões a partir de uma análise bibliométrica

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the academic production of articles, of the last ten years, on management by competences in the public administration. It is a qualitative research that used in the methodology the instrument ProKnow-C and the bibliometric analysis. The articles were analyzed for several aspects, among them: origin, distribution per year, by author, by periodical, by database, and also analyzed the research context, the concept of competence used and the results obtained from each one of articles. The research results point to a gap in the production of articles on the subject in the state and municipal spheres of government. In most of the articles, the predominance of the adoption of the concept of competences that considers the knowledge, skills and attitudes linked to a given context was observed. In addition, it was possible to identify and suggest research possibilities, applied to regionalized realities.
