Abstract

In today's competitive landscape, universities are increasingly reliant on
competency management to enhance their academic and administrative processes.
Many institutions struggle to fill managerial roles due to unclear competency
requirements for these positions. Although no single manager is more important
than another, each role requires specific competencies that align with job
responsibilities. Research indicates that effectively utilizing core management
competencies can improve employee performance and commitment, thereby aiding
in the achievement of organizational goals.. Aim: Identify the relationship between
employees' Perspectives of their Organizational Commitment and the Management
Core Competencies of their Managers. Settings: The study was carried out at the
Faculty of Nursing, Alexandria University, Egypt. Subjects: The convenient sample
includes all employees who are currently working in 21 administrative departments
/units at the Faculty of Nursing, Alexandria university, (N= 273), with a minimum
of one year of experience, both males and female. Tools: Two tools were used:
Tool 1: Organizational Commitment Scale and Tool 2: Management Core
Competencies Framework developed by the House of Commons (2021). Results:
Employees perceive a moderate frequency of managerial acts related to core
competencies, with a total mean percent score of 77.90%. This score indicates that
these behaviors are considered critically relevant to the manager's current role. The
level of organizational commitment among study participants is perceived as
moderate, reflected in a mean percent score of 63.62%. Conclusion: These findings
highlight the significance of core management behaviors in fostering a committed
workforce. Recommendations: Managers need to actively engage in competencyrelated
actions to enhance employee commitment.
