The objectives of this research were to study the levels of core competencies and transformational leadership, to compare the core competencies according to the personal characteristics, associated factors and influential factors. The sample comprised of 258 government officials at sub-district health promoting hospitals.

Data were analyzed for descriptive statistics: percentage, mean, and standard deviation. One-Way ANOVA, Pearson’s Product-Moment correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis statistic were analyzed.
The results indicated that overall core competencies score and transformational leadership score were at a high level. Age, income, job positions, and length of employment differed with statistically significant at the 0.05 level. The correlation coefficient of core competencies and transformational leadership had a positive relation, with statistical significance at 0.01 level. Individualism, intellectual stimulation, and idealism influence had influences on core competencies with a statistical significance, at p-value < 0.05, and having a predictive power of 34.5%.
Organizations should develop strategies for human resource management. The emphasis should be on transformational leadership and competencies. Training on the issue, or knowledge management activities, should be conducted in order to stimulate leadership competencies, at both the management and operational levels. Employees should be invited to participate in identifying levels of competencies that have not been achieved, as well as participating in formulating policies to facilitate planning for further development.
