Proposal of the Competency Model of the Project Manager

Abstract:

Current practice requirements show that competency models are increasingly becoming part of evaluating the work of employees and significantly contribute to the objectification of the remuneration system and human resource management in the organization. Modern trends in human resource management progressively press for a comprehensive assessment of employees based on the networking the performance model with the competency model. This is also true in the field of project management. This paper aims to establish and evaluate the competency model of the project manager, to determine importance and evaluation of individual groups of competencies represented in this model. There is a number of project organized and managed companies In the Czech Republic. Each of them requires professionalism in project management from its employees. Project management is not a simple matter of routine. The success of any project depends on the characteristics and experience of a project manager, i.e. on his/her competence. Created competency model is based on the required qualification standards, which are part of the evaluation standards for civil servants in the Czech Republic. Evaluation of this model is performed using the Saaty’s matrix. Using this method, the significance of each group of competencies represented in this model and an assessment of project managers of the selected organization is performed.
