A cross cultural comparison of perceived managerial competence

For the past years and up till today, the concept of managerial competence has been a popular topic for researchers to explore. John Beck (1984) developed a composite model of managerial competence based largely on the integrated competency model of Richard E. Boyatzis (1982). H...
