Competências gerenciais de enfermeiros de um hospital de Belo Horizonte (MG): o ideal e o real

Abstract

This article aims to identify how the managerial competences - ideal and real - of nurses of a private hospital in Belo Horizonte (MG), in their own perception, are configured. The theoretical framework focused on the managerial competences model of Quinn et al (2003), which includes eight roles and each of them reflects three managerial competencies. In the descriptive and quantitative research, 16 questionnaires were applied. The majority of the respondents are female, between the ages of 26 and 30, married, working for less than a year in the institution and in the medical clinic sector. It was observed a step between the ideal or required competences of the nurses addressed in the research and those actually or effectively performed in their daily lives. The role of the mentor is the one closest to the ideal, that is, it is the role most played by the studied nurses. The effective master profile has been identified on both sides, the ideal and the real. Faced with the findings and limitations of the study, suggestions for the institution and for future research were drawn.
