“…This argument is indeed consistent with the definition of managerial competency which is a set of knowledge, skills, abilities and behaviours that enables effective performance and achievement of set organisational outcomes (Hellriegel, Jackson, Slocum, Staude, Amos, Klopper, Louw & Oosthuizen, 2004;Campion, et. al., 2011;Vakola, Soderquist & Prastacos, 2007;Levenson, Van der Stede & Cohen, 2006;Laguna, Wiechetek & Talik, 2012;Wickramasinghe & De Zoyza, 2009;Singh & Khamba, 2014;Barber & Tietje, 2004;Boyatzis, 2011). These managerial competencies are transferable from one organisation to another due to its universal nature (Hellriegel et al, 2004).…”

Powell (1990) contended that the differences between women and men leadership style is mostly based on perception and stereotype and concluded that there are "no differences" between men and women managers. This article evaluated causal linkages between employees' perception of both managerial and functional competencies and stereotype of male and female managers using a conglomerate in South Africa. The study adopted survey strategy using quantitative research design. Respondents comprised of 383 conveniently sampled lower and middle level managers using the non-probability sampling technique. Using structural equation modelling (SEM) (AMOS) and inferential statistics, our analysis showed a positive association to establish that male managers are more competent than female managers (t = 21.01, p<01), while the SEM path between perceptions and managerial competence was found to be significant (t = 001<.05). We found a non-significant path between perceptions and functional competence (t = .10, p>.05). Similarly, the path between perceptions and stereotyping was found to be non-significant (t = .07>.05). This findings further extend contemporary literature on gender and leadership roles and perhaps provided some insights regarding the continued underrepresentation of women in executive and top management positions in various organisations.

Exporting is of great interest for SMEs in Jordan from both microeconomic and macroeconomic perspective. The objective of this study was to identify to what extent specific internal factors contribute to export success of SMEs in Jordan. This study hypothesized that export performance of SMEs is directly affected by three groups of internal factors. These include firm characteristics, managerial characteristics, and marketing strategy. A multiple case approach is used to conduct this research and a structured interview is developed to collect the data directly from the participants. A pattern matching approach was used to test the hypotheses. The results show that export performance is positively affected by firm characteristics, managerial characteristics, and marketing strategy.Additionally, the demographic characteristics of managers and adaptation of distribution channels are unlikely to have an influence on export performance. This was unexpected, because of the plenty of empirical evidences in the literature that support the impact of these variables on export success.

“…When analyzing the export performance of the firm, one must consider another component of the management is the decision maker [8]. Laguna et al [9] showed that general and particular managerial skills are significant predictors of success in running a business. Specific managerial competencies proved to be a mediator between general competencies and SME success.…”
