potential to succeed, to ensure that they receive the training and development necessary to realize that potential, and to provide and appraisal system that gives them the feedback and coaching they need to perform well, through a well-seeing of a personal and potential skill of the people (ex: sales Mortgage Banking Company)
Picture of CBHRM System The American Heritage : competency is the state or quality of being properly or well qualified In HR environment : competency is an underlying characteristic of a person which results in effective and/or superior performance on the job (Klemp, 1980) Picture of CBHRM System Based on a conference on the subject of competencies in Johannesburg year 1995 : a cluster of related knowledge, skill, and attitudes that affects a major part of ones job, that correlates with performance on the job, that can be measured againts well- accepted standards, and that can be improved via training and development. (Parry, 1996)

David McClelland, develop a set of personality test To prove the result whether shared and demonstrated by high achievers or not He and his friend, Charles Dailey, initiated a series of intensive interview to 50 people in United States Information Agency (USIA) Early 1970s McClelland wrote about hiring practices for civil service jobs, took a test using competency test He assume that take a competency test, it can be done by do a participation observation if the observer wanted to find a competency of a single person 1973 Who Is Invented the Competency Models? Representations or miniature of the comlex reality of the world Derived from modulus which means a small measure of something. Known 3 terms : o Facts : directly observed and empirically tested o Inferences : conclusion drawn on the basis of some set of information o Construct : idea used in research to explain a phenomenon All About Model Create competency models to explain how competencies lead to performance Four questions that we should ask before embarking upon developing competency models : o Why we need a competency model? o What are the strategies for model building? o What are the availabe resource, both financial and human? o Who are the key people involved in the process of developing and validating model? Competency Models and Four Questions 3 purposes of build a competency model : o To provide a way in which the concept of competency can be applied to organisational needs o To understand the variables determining performance and their correlation to it o To enable the rapid deployment of competencies in an organsation Need for a Competency Model To support hiring, growth and development plans, or performance and compensation management, in terms : o The organisation has to be clear on which of these applications is important o The organisation should build the implementation of that application into the initial project plan. Potential Uses of The Model Define core requirements for all employees regardless of function or level Define requirements only for specific levels/functions Define requirements for each distinct role or job in an organisation The Model Might Be : Single competency 10-15 competencies Less related to a specific function or job Universal Multiple models Needed for many jobs Specific job related Multiple Two Approaches for Model Building Before start to develop model of competency, there are 5 questions that have to answered : o Is there a model that is being used? o What is the purpose of the model? o What are the sources of the models? o What are the dimensions of the competency model? o What are the steps in developing a competency model? Developing a Model The Boyatzis Model The individual`s competencies The job`s demands The organisational environment Effective spesific actions or behavior all the three elements must fit together for effective performance to take place. When only two ellements are taken into consideration, it is unlikely to result in consistently effective performance. *Applies to managers The Boyatzis Model Behaviour = (Individual X Environment)
a. Individual`s competencies represent the capabilities that a person brings to the job situation b. The job component states what a person is expected to do on the job c. The organisational context describes the broader context of job demands and organisational context describes the broader context of job demands and organisational policies, procedures, structure, processes, system, and culture *Applies to managers Boyatzis`s model for effective performance for managers comprises of six clusters. The six clusters identified by Boyatzis are : 1. Goal and action management 2. Leadership 3. Human Resource Management 4. Directing Subordinates 5. Focus on other cultures 6. Specialised knowledge
To explain the importance of the competencies within and between the cluster, he used two terms Primary and Secondary. o Primary relationships refer to relationships beetween competencies within a cluster. o Secondary relationships refer to the relationship of a competncy in a cluster to a competency in another custer.
Competency Cluster Boyatzis list four competencies in The Leadership Cluster
Competencies Conseptualisation Able to identify mission and develop common objectives for his/her people Use of oral presentations Present idea in a convicing manner Self Confidence Create followership by creating a presence Logical thought Understand how the organisation works in a day-to-day situation Primary Relationship Example : the competencies in the Goal and action cluster have a secondary relationship to the competencies in the Leadership cluster. Effect : would enhance a manager`s effectiveness. Example : a manager can set goals but not to able give convicing presentations. Likewise, a manager can give a convicing presentation without setting goals. However, if a manager presentation is convicing and is in the context of goals that would be far more useful to the organisation. Secondary Relationship Competency Self-image Social role Skills Self-confidence I know what I`m doing and will do it well Natural Leader Presentation skill Use of oral presentations Ican verbally communicate well Communicator Verbal presentation skill Logical thought I am orderly System analyst Organisation of thought and activities. Sequential thinking conseptualisation I am creative Inventor Pattern identification through concept formation. A frame work is the driving force of the model: it is about converting the model from its abstract state to practical state which can be used in day-to-day life. Role Competencies Behavioural competencies Functional Competencies Core Competencies The Roman Pavilion Core Competencies Form the roof for the Roman pavilion, representation of competencies that are relevant to the entire organisation. These competencies are unique to the organisation. Role Competencies Role competencies are only relevant to employees in a team role, to members and leaders of teams, which may include managers and supervisors. The role competencies are catagorised into those relating to activities, people, resources and information. Behavioural Competencies Behavioural Competencies are underlying characteristics having causal relationship with effective or superior performance. Their classifications into task, personal attributes, relationship, and service are reflected as four pillars. Functional Competencies Functional Competencies stand for the knowledge and skill component that are spesific to jobs. They form the foundation of the pavilion. They are classified into three areas to reflect the broad occupational classification trade, trade service and organisational service.
NB : trade competencies differed from organisation to organisation. Trade services and organisational service competencies underwent relatively fewer changes. ...continued
