Abstract

The contribution focuses on assessing metacognitive errors and the Dunning-Kruger effect among managers within the framework of managerial competencies evaluation. The research aims to determine the presence of statistically significant correlations between metacognitive error assessments and managerial competency evaluations. Additionally, it seeks to identify potential differences in the manifestation of the Dunning-Kruger effect by comparing managers' self-assessments of their personal performance before and after measurement. The study uses a questionnaire method and is carried out on the sample of 367 Slovak managers. The findings reveal several statistically significant correlations between metacognitive error assessments and managerial competency evaluation, as well as notable differences in self-assessed performance levels before and after the measurements. Respondents generally rated their initial performance lower than their post-measurement results.
