Risk Management Competency Development Indicators: Differing Importance Across Demographics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Risk Management Competency Development in Banks

Abstract

This chapter seeks to address the second objective. It seeks to assess whether the importance attached to the indicators significantly differs across the three demographic groups of banks, namely, (1) local- versus foreign-controlled banks, (2) entrepreneur- versus non-entrepreneur-controlled banks and (3) different staff seniority levels. These findings may help guide managers and regulatory authorities to a better understanding of the different emphases which these banks may have. The findings are based on a survey analysis of 135 risk management practitioners. The responses sought are measured on a five-point Likert scale with a score of ‘1’ being effectively ‘not a great deal’ and ‘5’ being ‘to a great extent’. The survey questionnaire was in turn developed based on the operationalized risk management indicators identified in Chap. 2. The questionnaire is shown in Appendix.
