The results from the survey are discussed in the following format: Each of the three major competencies is discussed in detail, i.e. the competencies that are perceived as critical and those that are not perceived as important.
Figure 3 provides a quick overview of the three competencies. Of the three competencies, the technical aspect is rated the highest (mean = 4.21) with the contextual competencies rated the lowest with a mean of 3.87.
FIGURE 3: MEANS OF COMPETENCE GROUPINGS
The difference between the highest ranking competency group and the lowest competency group is only 0.34. It indicates that there is not a major difference in the importance of the competency groups. Of interest is the fact that none of the competency groups were perceived as extremely important (Likert scale = 5). The average ranking between the three competency groups is 4.08, indicating that the competencies were ranked as very important.
The next section focuses on the technical competencies and which individual competencies were perceived as important.
