A competency (in the technical sense used in recent corporate human resources thought) is the cluster of traits (skills, abilities, habits, character traits, knowledge) a person must have in order to perform a job well.
For instance, management competency includes:
Characteristics
- Specific
- Assignable to one or more roles
- Can group and combine to form higher competencies
- other
Possession of a competence
A person possesses a competence as long as the skills, abilities, and knowledge that constitute that competence are a part of him, enabling the person to perform effective action within certain environment. Therefore, one might not lose knowledge, a skill, or an ability, but still lose a competence if what is needed to do a job well changes.
