APPLYING COMPETENCY TO ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT

Abstract

            Competency is one of the tools widely used in organizational management. Organizations apply various forms of competencies, including core competency, managerial competency, functional competency, and personal attributes. This study aimed to examine the impact after organizations have applied competency in managing the organization and study the guidelines for applying competency in organizational management. It was found that core competency affected increasing efficiency and effectiveness of employees. Educational factors influenced core competency in different work environments. Jobs heavily relying on competency included human resource management. Effective application of competency involved fostering participation, teamwork, and communication throughout the organization. Guiding the application of competency in organizational management involved identifying core competencies that drove the organization, providing opportunities for employees to express opinions, show potentials, and ensure equal contribution to organizational development in order to foster a sense of belonging among the employees. It was essential for an organization to build a strong team, establish a high-quality communication system, create a supportive work environment for applying competencies, and develop a learning-supportive organizational culture and continuous development. This could start with the higher-educated group before gradually spreading across the organization. Studying the outcomes after using competency helped identify the advantages, disadvantages, and recommendations for accurate and appropriate future applications of competency in organizations.
