For Managers
The competency mapping provides following advantages to
the managers:
• Identify performance criteria to improve the accuracy and
ease of the selection process
• Easier communication of performance expectations
• Provide a clear foundation for dialogue to occur between
the managers and employees and performance,
development and career-oriented issues
For employees
The employees in an organization get the following
advantages by competency mapping:
• Identify the behavioral standards of performance
excellence
•Provide a more specific and objective assessment of their
strengths and the tools required to enhance their skills
• Enhances clarity on career related issues
• Helps each understand how to achieve expectations
Disadvantages
A problem with competency mapping, especially when conducted by
an organization is that there may be no room for an individual to work
in a field that would best make use of his or her competencies. If the
company does not respond to competency mapping by reorganizing
its employees, then it can be of little short-term benefit and may
actually result in greater unhappiness on the part of individual
employees. A person identified as needing to learn new things in
order to remain happy might find himself or herself in a position
where no new training is ever required. If the employer cannot
provide a position for an employee that fits him or her
better, competency mapping may be of little use.
3. Repertory grid
The repertory grid is a technique for identifying the ways
that a person construes his or her experience. It provides
information from which inferences about personality can be
made, but it is not a personality test in the conventional
sense.
Step 1
The individual or group begins with a repertory grid, pen or
pencil, and five to eight blank cards.
Step 2
Then the elements are written across the top of the grid.
Step 3
Step 4
The cards are turned face down, shuffled, and then three
cards are drawn at random.
Step 5
Step 6
Step 7
One the first row has been rated, the individual or group
turn the three cards over, shuffle them, and begin the
process all over again. They may reshuffle in the case of
drawing the same three card combination as before.
