Abstract: This study aims to understand the competencies considered relevant in performance evaluation at Petrek (a workplace in Angola) and the emphasis placed on the competencies identified. The data were collected by using interviews ( n = 24) and a questionnaire ( n = 166) with Petrek’s leaders. The questionnaire data, which were analyzed through an exploratory factor analysis, served as a test of reliability of the findings obtained in the interviews. The qualitative and quantitative analyses of the findings indicate that collaboration, organization, delivery, and complexity are the competency clusters considered relevant at Petrek. The analysis of the dimensions identified demonstrates that 25% consists of technical competencies and 75% corresponds to behavioral competencies, indicating that employees at Petrek should invest in behavioral competencies. The overall results are discussed for future research and the practice of organizational management.
