The purpose of this study was to explore the governance competencies of elected township governors. Literatures review and expert interviews were applied to construct the theoretical foundation and framework of competencies. The questionnaire was verified by the experts before submitting to the subjects. Among 99 questionnaires sent to all in-service elected governors who were elected in 2009 in Taiwan, and 73 vaild questionnaires were collected. The return rate is 74%. All valid questionnaires were further analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey’s posteriori comparisons. Consequent the following conclusions are made: (1) The competency of elected governors includes 8 competence dimensions, 16 competence factors, and 52 behavior descriptions.; (2) The most important and demonstrative competency is “customer-focused service” under the administrative ability dimension.; (3) The least important and demonstrative competency is “change and risk management” and “strategy analysis” under the concept ability dimension.; (4) Governors’ views on the importance and their demonstration of competencies varied due to their personal background variables, such as age, education, business experience, and political seniority.; (5) Governors’ views on the importance and their demonstration of competencies varied due to their district background variables, such as location, and population size.; (6) Governor’s most competencies have significant differences between importance perceived and their demonstration.
