There are some Dir positions which justify a PhD. Statistical services, economics research, those more technical divisions. If other than those, you just need to be generally smart.
i agree dir dont need phd at all for most positions.

i am trying to say they are not " doing general admin and nothing that requires a phd level of intellect."

they still need to be smart , or even smarter than phds although they need not know technical/specialised knowledge which is possessed by phds.

And dont mistaken an Admin service officer with the officer in the admin dept in charge of stationery , storeroom and furniture .
