Uma tese de doutorado não é um empreendimento construído de forma exclusiva por uma única pessoa, seu autor. Antes disso, trata-se de um trabalho que envolve diversos colaboradores. Nesta, em especial, vários sãos aqueles, que, de forma direta ou indireta, tornaram possível este trabalho. A cada um, deixo meus sinceros agradecimentos:

Professional competences scale for police officers: evidence of psychometric adequacy

“…Therefore, professional performance by competencies has value for the subject that produces it and for the organization to which the individual is connected to. Considering this, this performance can be defined as a set of KSAs that the subject uses to accomplish their work plans and that should be related to the profile desired by the organization (Nascimento, 2014). In order to be competent, the performance needs to impact on the individual's work outcomes (micro level) and on the organization through the breadth of individual outcomes (macro level).…”

“…Thus, the measurement of technical competencies (TCs) and BCs in the police work environment enables the description and identification of certain objective, tangible and observable behaviors. This fact allows the construction of management policies and practices, focused on actions of planning, evaluation, monitoring, supervision and redesign of work in the corporation (Brandão, 2017;Faiad et al, 2012;Nascimento, 2014).…”

“…Migrating from a discursive to an operative form, competences are now being used to promote transformations in many areas of the organizational environment, including in issues regarding remuneration, performance evaluations, training programs, among others. The impetus in literature about this theme occurred in the 2000s with the emergence of the competency management model, thus providing discussions about the notion of competence, its dimensions, background and implications (Brandão & Guimarães, 2001;Gonczi, 1999;McLagan, 1997;Nascimento, 2014).…”

“…These points indicate a need for research focused on the nature and measure of the professional competence construct, as well as on the relationships between antecedent and consequent variables that are related, above all, to the Brazilian context (Brandão, 2009;Coelho, 2009;Nascimento, 2014;Santos, 2012). Although there are hypotheses and assumptions about this phenomenon developed by administration or psychology theories, empirical studies that present valid, accurate and reliable measures or, in other words, that are psychometrically adequate, are scarce (Brandão, 2009), especially when considering public administration (Santos, 2012(Santos, , 2014.…”

“…In this sector, specifically in Brazilian police institutions (Nascimento, 2014), research in the area of assessment is needed in order to identify the causes and consequences of police behavior, aiming to develop and improve competent performances (Pasquali, Moura, & Freitas, 2010). In addition, studies about competence assist in making organizational processes viable, such as strategic planning, and in the elaboration of policies and practices for personnel management, that is, training, improvement and performance evaluation (Faiad, Coelho, Caetano, & Albuquerque, 2012;Nascimento, 2014;Pasquali et al, 2010).…”
