%0 Journal Article %T Competence-Based Management Research in the Web of Science and Scopus Databases: Scientific Production, Collaboration, and Impact %J Publications | An Open Access Journal from MDPI %D 2019 %R https://doi.org/10.3390/publications7040060 %X This paper presents a bibliometric study, which seeks to characterize papers that address competence-based management and that are indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases in terms of scientific production, collaboration, and impact. All the papers published in journals or in conference proceedings that contained the terms ˇ°competenc* managementˇ± or ˇ°compentenc* based managementˇ± in their titles, abstracts, or keywords were analyzed. The results show that computational sciences, human resources management, strategic management, and industrial relations and labor correspond to the macro-categories that characterize competence-based management. This paper also indicates that collaborations between authors do not establish strong co-authorship networks. It also shows that the most cited papers were published in journals of different areas. It concludes that studies conducted in the area of competence-based management can be developed in a more assertive way if they take into consideration the context of the current state of research in this area.
