CANDEL RUIZ, María José; SOLER SANCHEZ, María Isabel  and  MESEGUER DE PEDRO, Mariano. Competencies from Bartram's Model as Predictors of Performance in Gambling Sector. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.1, pp.207-215. ISSN 1657-9267.

The aim of this study was to analyse whether the Bartram's model of Greit Competencies could predict the job performance. A sample of 95 workers, 56 men and 39 women, from the casinos sector was used. A member of this gambling company was trained to evaluate workers' levels of competency. Moreover, a questionnaire was administered to managers and supervisors in order to evaluate the staff performance. After analysing the data using canonical regression, the results showed that the set of Bartram's competencies is a good predictor for contextual performance and it is less relevant for task performance. This model could be reduced to five basic competencies, highlighting teamwork skills.
