Resumen

The general objective of this research is to examine how the transversal competencies of public managers influence knowledge management in a municipal entity in Peru. The type of applied competence is non-experimental, the level of analysis is explanatory, and the data were collected through a cross-sectional procedure. The sample consisted of 244 workers, and the study employed a quantitative approach. It was found that 60.7% of the staff perceive the transversal competencies that characterize the public manager average. The most notable dimension is “Working as a team,” and the one focused on improving is “Results orientation.” Additionally, 86.4% consider the entity’s progress implementation of knowledge management to be average, with the most highlighted being the “Knowledge production” dimension and the lowest valued being “Technology.” It is concluded that there is an influence of the transversal competencies of the public manager in knowledge management, given a chi-square = 179.296 (p = 0.000). Similarly, there is a significant influence of the dimensions: Orientation towards results, vocation to serve and work in a team, on knowledge management.
