Competence (human resources)

<p>Competence is the set of demonstrable personal characteristics or KSAOs  (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other characteristics) that enable <a href="/facts/Job_performance/0pxyPvbX">job performance</a> at a high level with consistency and minimal difficulty. Competency in human resources is  a series of knowledge, abilities, skills, experiences and behaviors, which leads to effective performance in an individual's activities. Competency is measurable and can be developed through training. It can also be broken down into smaller criteria.
Some scholars see "competence" as an aspect that can be developed through training because it is a combination of practical & theoretical <a href="/facts/Knowledge/joozoaup">knowledge</a> which involves cognitive <a href="/facts/Skills/XKyAfgBg">skills</a>, <a href="/facts/Behavior/0Y1VqmVX">behavior</a>, and values used to improve performance. Competency is the state or quality of being adequately or well qualified, possessing the <a href="/facts/Skill/XKyAfgBg">ability</a> to perform a specific, measurable <a href="/facts/Role/LDthMhoD">job</a>. For instance, competency needed for <a href="/facts/Management/8KMV9yMM">management</a>, depending on the sector, might include system thinking and <a href="/facts/Emotional_intelligence/eUTeNh5v">emotional intelligence</a>, as well as skills in influence and <a href="/facts/Negotiation/QyUsoN6M">negotiation</a>.
