Abstract

Management skills are necessary in every part of life and can be honed through work experience and education. Effective management skills can provide a competitive advantage to any profession and organization. This study focuses on the technical, human, and conceptual skills of 503 Turkish respondents to determine if independent variables such as public sector work experience, education, and gender differences can be a factor. The results show that Turkish working adults have significantly different management abilities as those with work experience have enhanced skills compared to others. We found statistically significant results based on education, management and public sector experience.
