The Effects of Competence and Expectations on the Organisational Socialisation Process of Hungarian Cadets

Abstract

The concept of competence is manifold, however, its role in  effective work is unquestionable. The research into the area  has decades of history, which has resulted in the  development of diverse methods and the widening of the  definition of the concept. The current research interprets  competence as an element of organisational socialisation. Competence, as a determining factor of the institution– person interaction, contributes to the success of new  entrants’ integration. The research – with exploratory nature – presents 18 competences, which appear among  the future leader staff of the Hungarian Defence Forces. It  also highlights such employee needs, beyond professional competences, that derive from the specific features of the  special focus group. The analysis of the employees’ side  highlights the necessity to word the pure – suited to the  target group – expectations, and raises the demand for  developing alternative possibilities for the future.
