Keywords:
Management Competency, LTO Officers, Management ProgramAbstract
The study was designed to assess the management competencies of Land Transportation Office District Officers serving as the basis for a management development program for district officers in Eastern Visayas. This study utilized the descriptive development method of research using comparative and correlation analyses. Corollary to this study, the researcher was able to develop a management development program for five days which could be of help to the district officers for better delivery services to the public. The management program is an offshoot of the assessment of the management competency and management style of the district officers. Since the results of the present study were moderately and highly competent, the training program could help them strengthen their operational functions and management style. Among the district officer’s related variates that correlated significantly with their management style are: age and performance rating for autocratic; sex and number of years in present position for compromiser; age and sex and present position for executive; and sex for bureaucratic. The district officers need to undergo a training program on management competencies and styles to enhance their management and leadership effectiveness skills and help improve district performance. A similar program should also be made available to qualified employees and may be adopted as a basis for recruiting prospective district officers. Among the district officer’s related characteristics that influenced management competency were educational qualification on four operational functional, age and number of years in present position in terms of law enforcement.
