Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of managerial skills on managerial behavior at Jordan Kuwait Bank (JKB), by using Wilson's skill profile classification (Technical, Teambuilding and Drive). Practical data were used in the empirical analysis collected from 143 out of 947 employees working at JKB, by means of a questionnaire. Statistical techniques such as descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA test and correlation were employed. To confirm the suitability of data collection instrument, validity and reliability tests were used. The results of the study indicated a positive significant relationship between managerial skills and JKB managerial behavior. The results also indicated that the teambuilding skills were practiced by managers in JKB at moderate level, while the drive skills and technical kills were presented and practiced at high level. However, multiple regressions showed that the drive skills indicators were having the highest effect on managerial behavior, followed by technical skills, while still they have a lot of work to improve teambuilding skills. Furthermore, empirical results indicated that there are strong inter-relationships and interactions among the three components of managerial skills. The use of one organization and a single industry study design limits its generalization to other organizations and industries. The data is also limited to Jordanian setting; therefore, further research on other organizations, industries is highly recommended. The research results might help both academicians and practitioners to understand the components of managerial skills profile and provide them with insight into developing and increasing them within their organizations. JKB should coordinate different perspectives of managerial skills to improve managerial behavior and assign appropriate scales for each of the three components of managerial skills profile. This study also extends prior researches viewpoint about the linear relationship between managerial skills and managerial behavior with empirical evidence.
