- 11. Examples of Competency DEFINITION Adaptability —Maintaining effectiveness when priorities change and new tasks are encountered, and when dealing with individuals who have different views and approaches. Effectively performing in different environments, cultures, and locations, and when working with different technologies and levels of individuals. KEY BEHAVIOR Seeking understanding— Makes efforts to better understand changes in the environment; actively seeks information or attempts to understand nature of individual differences, logic, or basis for change in tasks and situations. Embracing change— Approaches change or newness with a positive orientation; views change or newness as a learning or growth opportunity. Making accommodations— Makes accommodations in approach, attitudes, or behaviors in response to changing environmental requirements.
- 12. Examples of Competency DEFINITION Analysis/Problem Assessment — Securing relevant information and identifying key issues and relationships from a base of information; relating and comparing data from different sources; identifying cause-effect relationships. KEY BEHAVIOR Identifying issues and problems —Recognizing major issues; identifying key facts, trends, and issues; separating relevant from irrelevant data. Seeking information —Identifying/Recognizing information gaps or the need for additional information; obtaining information by clearly describing what needs to be known and the means to obtain it; questioning clearly and specifically to verify facts and obtain the necessary information. Seeing relationships —Organizing information and data to identify/explain trends, problems, and their causes; comparing, contrasting, and combining information; seeing associations between seemingly independent problems or events to recognize trends, problems, and possible cause-effect relationships. Performing data analysis —Organizing and manipulating quantitative data to identify/explain trends, problems, and their causes.
- 13. Benefits of Using Competency Model For Managers, the benefits are: Identify performance criteria to improve the accuracy and ease of the hiring and selection process. Clarify standards of excellence for easier communication of performance expectations to direct reports. Provide a clear foundation for dialogue to occur between the manager and employee about performance, development, and career-related issues.
- 14. Benefits of Using Competency Model For Employees , the benefits are: Identify the success criteria (i.e., behavioral standards of performance excellence) required to be successful in their role. Support a more specific and objective assessment of their strengths and specify targeted areas for professional development. Provide development tools and methods for enhancing their skills.
- 15. Alignment : Competencies impact systems that actively support the organization’s vision, strategy, and key capabilities. Integration : Competency initiatives that produce the most significant change are applied systemically across a range of HR development processes. Distribution : Competency standards alone produce little effect. They must be actively and relentlessly communicated and installed with users. Key Characteristics of Successful Implementation
- 16. Self-Directed Application : Competency systems frequently fail because they are too complex or require an unsustainable level of sponsorship or program support. Implementations that work best focus on the development of “tools” that can produce results for users with relatively little ongoing support. Acculturation : In competency systems that work, they become part of the culture and the mindset of leaders through repeated application and refinement over a significant period of time. Key Characteristics of Successful Implementation

- 18. Types of Interview Conventional Interview Competency-based Interview
- 19. Conventional Interview Unstructured : Is a type of interview where the questions are not designed systematically and not properly structured. There is no standard format to follow, therefore the process of interviewing can go in any direction. Is seldom equipped with formal guidelines regarding the system of rating/scoring the interview.
- 20. Has low reliability and validity – there is no accuracy in predicting performance Susceptible to bias and subjectivity (gut feeling) Conventional Interview
- 21. Competency-based Interview (CBI) Is a structured type of interview. The questions are focused on disclosing examples of behavior in the past . The process of interview is intended to disclose specifically and in detail examples of behavior in the past. Is designed based on the principle : past behavior predicts future behavior (Candidates are most likely to repeat these behaviors in similar situations in the future).
- 22. Has a high level of validity and reliability. Equipped with a standard scoring system which refers to behavior indicators Competency-based Interview
- 23. Approach in Competency-based Interview S What was the S ituation in which you were involved? T What was the T ask you needed to accomplish? A What A ction(s) did you take? R What R esults did you achieve?
- 24. Situation Can you explain the situation? Where and when did the situation happen? What events led up to it? Who was involved in the situation (work colleagues, supervisor, customers)? Approach in Competency-based Interview
- 25. What tasks were you supposed to do at that time? What did you actually do at that time? How did you do it? What specific steps did you take? Who was involved? Tasks/Actions Approach in Competency-based Interview
- 26. What was the outcome? Can you tell me the results of taking such action? What specific outcome was produced by your action? Results Approach in Competency-based Interview
- 27. Sample Questions in CBI Competency Sample Question Persistence In the process of selling, we are sometimes not successful in securing a new transaction. Can you tell me about one or two situations where you repeatedly failed to get a new client? What specific steps did you take? What was the result? Influencing Others Can you describe one or two cases in your effort to obtain new customers? What did you do? What was the result?
- 28. Competency Sample Question Interpersonal Can you tell me about a situation where you faced Understanding a client who was disappointed with your product? What was the situation like? What specific steps did you take? What was the result? Planning & In working, we often face a number of priorities Organizing that must be tackled at the same time. Can you tell me about one or two actual cases where you had to face such a situation? What did you do? What was the consequence? Sample Questions in CBI
- 29. Bias in the Interview Process First Impressions An interviewer might make a snap judgement about someone based on their first impression - positive or negative - that clouds the entire interview . For example, letting the fact that the candidate is wearing out-of-the-ordinary clothing or has a heavy regional accent take precedence over the applicant's knowledge, skills, or abilities.
- 30. Bias in the Interview Process Halo Effect The "halo" effect occurs when an interviewer allows one strong point about the candidate to overshadow or have an effect on everything else. For instance, knowing someone went to a particular university might be looked upon favorably. Everything the applicant says during the interview is seen in this light.
- 31. Bias in the Interview Process Contrast Effect Strong(er) candidates who interview after weak(er) ones may appear more qualified than they are because of the contrast between the two. Note taking during the interview and a reasonable period of time between interviews may alleviate this.

- 48. Assessing Competency through Assessment Center Assessment Center Characteristics: A standardized evaluation of behavior based on multiple inputs. Multiple trained observers and techniques are used. Judgments about behaviors are made, in major part, from specifically developed assessment simulations. These judgments are pooled in a meeting among the assessors or by a statistical integration process
- 49. Types of Test in Assessment Center In-trays or in-baskets involve working from the contents of a manager’s in-tray, which typically consists of letters, memos and background information. You may be asked to deal with paperwork and make decisions, balancing the volume of work against a tight schedule. In-Basket Exercise In a role play, you are given a particular role to assume for a certain task. The task will involve dealing with a role player in a certain way, and there will be an assessor watching the role play. Role Simulation
- 50. In a fact-finding exercise, you may be asked to reach a decision starting from only partial knowledge. Your task is to decide what additional information you need to make the decision, and sometimes also to question the assessor to obtain this information. Fact-Finding Exercise Types of Test in Assessment Center You may be required to make a formal presentation to a number of assessors. In some cases this will mean preparing a presentation in advance on a given topic. In other cases, you may be asked to interpret and analyse given information, and present a case to support a decision. Presentation
- 51. Types of Test in Assessment Center Group exercises are timed discussions, where a group of participants work together to tackle a work-related problem. Sometimes you are given a particular role within a team, for example sales manager or personnel manager. Other times there will be no roles allocated. You are observed by assessors, who are not looking for right or wrong answers, but for how you interact with your colleagues in the team. Group Discussion
