Class Description and Minimum Qualifications for H6G - Management
Class Description
Valid as of: July 2016
The Management class exists in the Professional Services Occupational Group and describes professional assignments. Professional work is analytical and evaluative in nature. Decisions require the creative and conceptual application of theory and principles of a professional occupational field. A professional field is one in which knowledge is gained by completion of an advanced course of study resulting in a college degree or equivalent specialized experience. The professional nature of the work and the factors determine the level within the series.
MANAGEMENT
Concept of Class
This class describes the manager. Management positions are responsible for planning, directing, and executing major programs. Work involves recommending, developing, or approving policies that govern a manager’s program areas. A manager is concerned with defining program objectives and coordinating the efforts of organizational components under the manager’s control. Primary accountability is for the attainment of program objectives.
Factors
Allocation must be based on meeting all of the three factors as described below.
Decision Making -- The decisions regularly made are at the programmatic level, as described here. Within limits set by organizational policy, general directives, overall goals and objectives, and allocated resources, choices involve formulating or adjusting programs, specifically program objectives, and allocating human and fiscal resources among constituent programs. This involves independently, and under conditions of uncertainty, determining what has been done, what can be done, proposals for long-term policy, and estimates of what new resources are required. The long-term strategic plans, purposes, and staffing determined by this level require integration with other programs in the overall plan. Program, as used here, is defined by the mission of an agency or division as opposed to a segment or piece of program, such as planning, program evaluation, etc. This level does not describe positions that are applying a program control, led by another agency, which has the authority and accountability for it.
Complexity -- The nature of, and need for, analysis and judgment is strategic, as described here. Positions develop guidelines to implement a program that maintains the agency’s mission. Guidelines do not exist for most situations. In directive situations, positions use judgment and resourcefulness to interpret circumstances in a variety of situations and establish guidelines that direct how a departmental/agency program will be implemented.
Line/Staff Authority -- The direct field of influence the work of a manager has on the organization is at the work leader/staff authority level of this factor or above. Positions are accountable for all aspects of management with human resources being critical because it is how the mission is accomplished.
