Sažetak
This research examines the integration of individual values within the framework of individual values defined as by
Schwartz’s Theory of Basic Individual Values. Drawing on qualitative methodology, the research used a coding procedure
to link competencies with corresponding values by academics and was measured by Choen’s Kappa, while managers
assessed the importance of general and professional competencies on a 1-5 Likert-scale, with mean ratings above the
4.5 threshold were considered important and further discussed. The results show that there is a need for professionals
who can navigate complex and unpredictable environments effectively, where they are able to communicate clearly in
challenging situations, make informed decisions while taking responsibility within a team, demonstrate ethical and
social awareness, manage their own and others’ emotions, fostering productive relationships, lead adaptively and
achieve objectives under uncertainty, and are able to communicate clearly in challenging situations, make informed
decisions while taking responsibility within a team, demonstrate ethical and social awareness, manage their own and
others’ emotions, fostering productive relationships and lead adaptively and achieve objectives under uncertainty.
