Abstract

This study examines the dominant managerial profiles within public sector institutions through the application of the Quinn Competing Values Framework (CVF). The research adopts a quantitative approach to identify prevalent managerial competencies and leadership orientations among civil servants. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings reveal a predominance of hierarchical and rational goal-oriented managerial profiles, reflecting the bureaucratic and performance-driven nature of public organizations. The study contributes to the literature on managerial competencies in the public sector by integrating competency-based management theories with the CVF model. Implications for human resource development and public administration reforms are discussed.
