What is a competency ?
Any underlying characteristic of an individual,
an operative thought or behaviour,
causally related to superior performance on the job.
• Observable
• Measurable
• Consistent
Reflected in a pattern of actions (skills), thoughts (knowledge) and feelings (attitudes) in the individual.
History of CompetenciesPioneers : 1) David McClelland, the famous Harvard
Psychologist: Article in 1973 in American Psychologist highlighting the importance of job related competencies over IQ & academic scores
2) Douglas Brey and Associates at AT & T gave the concept of assessment centres for predicting on the job success
Later McBer, a consulting firm founded by David McClelland & David Berlew specialised in mapping the competencies and use of behaviour event Interviewing (BEI)
These two researches popularised the competency concept.

Knowledge Content knowledge/information in field of work, - from education and experience

Self-Concept How people see/view themselves; identity; worth - e.g. an expert, a teacher

Generic & functional competencies
Generic competencies are managerial and cognitive competencies required in small or large measure across functions.E.g. analytical skills, customer focus, etc.
Functional competencies are those which are required in small or large measure within specific functions.
E.g. knowledge of products, labor laws, etc.
Threshold & Differentiating Competencies
Threshold competencies are the characteristics which any job holder needs to have to do the job effectively – but do not distinguish the average from superior performer. E.g. language skills, computer skills etc.
Differentiating competencies are those characteristics which superior performers have but are not present in the average performers. E.g. empathy, ability to scan the environment for opportunities, etc.

Competency fundas
The ultimate aim of the exercise is performance – the individual’s & the organization’s
All organization members must have a reasonable proficiency in a few key competencies determined by its business and strategy
A majority of key competencies are generic in nature, with a few knowledge competencies specific to the nature of business
A clear understanding of every member’s job profile is crucial to competency mapping
Stake holder expectations define a job and its competency requirements
Competencies are reflected in the proficiency of performing the key activities of a job
Competency Mapping
What is Competency Mapping?
• The process of identification of the competencies required to perform successfully a given job or role or a set of tasks at a given point in time
• It consist of breaking a given role or job into its constituent tasks or activities and identifying the competencies needed to perform the same successfully
Competency Mapping Methods
• The Behavioral Event Interview (BEI)
• Expert panels
• Focus groups
• Surveys
• Psychometric tests
Competency Assessment
The Behavioral Event Interview
It is a structured interview to identify specific behaviors which produce successful results. It identifies and compares thoughts, feelings, behaviors and outcomes reported by outstanding performers with those reported by average performers and is a tool for identifying differentiating competencies.
Competency Assessment
Evaluation of the extent to which a given individual or a set of individuals possess these competencies required by a given role or set of roles or levels of jobs.
Competency Assessment Methods
• Assessment Centers
• 360 degrees feedback
• Psychometric tests
Origin of Assessment Centres
• First used by German military psychologists during World War II to select officers
• The War Office Selection Board of the British Army during the 1940s and US office of strategic services used the method to select spies
• After WW II many military psychologists and officers joined private companies, where they started small scale assessment centres
• In 1956, AT & T was the first to use the method on a large scale to test managerial potential
Assessment Centers
• Use multiple methods and multiple assessors to enhance objectivity.
• Use psychometric tests, stimulation exercises, presentations, in basket exercises, interviews, role plays, group discussions etc.
• Methods used depend on nature of competencies
• Competencies can be identified by experts, HR specialists, job analysts, psychologists etc.. in consultation with line managers, current and past role holders, supervisors, internal customers and subordinates.

Stages in installing Competency based Management
1. Develop a competency dictionary2. Map the competency requirements of jobs3. Assess competencies of job holders4. Plan action to deal with competency gaps5. Implement action in a sustained way
Dr. T V R says …“ Competency mapping is essentially an in-house job. Consultants can at best give the methodology and train up the line managers and HR staff. Consultants cannot do competency mapping all by themselves because no consultant can ever have all the knowledge required to identify the technologies, managerial, human relations and other conceptual knowledge, attitudes and skills required for all jobs in a firm. Where consultant are extensively relied upon the data generated are likely to enrich the consultant much more than the firm. The lower the consultant’s involvement, more the work needs to done internally and higher the intellectual capital generation and retention within the organisation.”
