Journal Title: Delhi Business Review: An International Journal of SHTR - Year 2018, Vol 19, Issue 2
Abstract
The present research paper seeks to develop and validate a construct for mapping Competency Development Practices. Design/Methodology/Approach: Literature was reviewed extensively and six major practices were synthesized. These practices were Training and Development, Competency Analysis, Mentoring, Capability Development, Competency based Assets, and Continuous Capability Development. A questionnaire of 46 items was standardized on a sample of 1068 managers working at different levels in various organizations. Findings: The 46 item questionnaire was validated using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Composite reliability of the practices were Training and Development (0.886); Competency Analysis (0.859); Mentoring (0.832); Competency Based Assets (0.920); Capability Development (0.893), and Continuous Capability Development (0.921). Also, convergent and discriminant validity were established. Research Limitation/Implication: The present questionnaire is meant to be used for Indian organizations as it is standardized on Indian working population. It can be adapted in different countries. Practical Implications: The questionnaire can be used to measure Competency Development Practices in the organizations and to ascertain the maturity level of these practices in line with Capability Maturity Model (CMM) framework. Originality/Value: This study provides a scale to measure Competency Development Practices in organizations which is not available in current relevant literature.
