Abstract
This research is to determine the soft competencies through
behavibural approach that predict effective performance for disaster managers.
This research uses 21 samples of disaster managers at the local government
where they will be selected based on possessing an effective performance in
humanitarian logistics. The results showed that there were significant
differences between effective and average performance managers in their
demonstration of three-group competencies such as relationship management,
achievement orientation and execution and self-management. Competencies
can be used as self-development and managing people at work, while technical
competencies are important such as humanitarian logistics and disaster. The
implications of this study show that managers who perform effectively is not
enough just to have a hard skill which can be developed; development does not
mean training. The competencies needed to be effective can be developed. The
above three groups' competencies can be used for developing disaster
managers at the local govemment.
