The Impact of Functional Competencies on Human Resource Management
Main Article Content
Abstract
Competencies are a contemporary subject of interest for global organizations and have a direct relationship with human resource management. Competency in the workplace is analyzed starting with the individual, directly linked to the job, without any preconceived assumptions about the qualities required for success in the role. Human attributes that correlate with success in the workplace are then identified. The competency approach focuses on how to maximize the utilization of exceptional and creative human resources within the organization, including their selection, development, training, and evaluation.
The study aimed to analyze the relationship between intrinsic attributes and human resource management, determine the impact of causal relationships on human resource management, and subsequently understand the connection between the benchmark and human resource management. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical, historical, and statistical approach.
One of the study's key findings is that many institutions base their selection on surface-level knowledge and skills competencies, assuming that those hired for new positions possess the underlying motivation and qualities. The practical application of competency concepts contributes to the development of training and education plans for individuals or groups of employees based on the gap between the job-related competencies required and those addressed by the employee. The study recommended several actions, including the need to disseminate practical knowledge of competencies to enhance human resource efficiency and organizational change implementation to meet organizational needs and support employees through the change process.
