The purpose of this study is to identify basic dimensions associated with managerial abilities among local government employees, and to explore which managerial abilities are most needed for the middle manegement posision (
Kacho) in local govenment agencies. The 155 managers in charge of personnel, and education and training fuctions at the city and municipal government offices in Aichi Prefecture responded questionnaires that listed 25 managerial abilities and was asking to rate them by using a 5-point scale regarding:(1) the
present level of managerial abilities maintained by the
Kacho, and (2) the
degree of reinforcement each ability should receive to develop Kacho's managerial abilities in respective local government offices.
Factor analyses identified four factors for the present abilities and three factors for the
reinforcement abilities, with a considerable overlap between the two. The gap between
present and
reinforcement abilities was caluculated as a measure of training needs. Results of the analysis indicated that the
Kacho in local government agencies needed to be developed most in the area of motivational and group revitalizing skills and abilities.
