In running the CIPD foundation certificate programmes, Oakwood International is continually reminded that competencies are at the foundation of best practice in selection, promotion, performance management, development and reward systems, as well as many other HR processes. So it’s really helpful to find a well-written new professional journal article that gives an overview and examples of many of the uses and benefits of competencies.
Take a look at:
Campion, M.A., Fink, A.A., Ruggeberg B.J., Carr L., Phillips G.M., Odman R.B. 2011. Doing Competencies Well: Best Practices In Competency Modeling. Personnel Psychology, 64(1), pp. 225–262. Available at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1744-6570.2010.01207.x/full
It’s USA-centred, with lots of references to research and work done in the US government and military, in Microsoft and Boeing. But the sheer quantity and quality of the analysis makes it necessary reading for anyone using or intending to use competencies at work – anyone working in HR really!
