Meta Competency Analysis: A Conceptual Framework

Abstract

Competency as a behavioral process is differentially understood both by practitioners and researchers. A frequent tendency is to treat competency as an offshoot of behavioral process which is not entrenched in personality sourcing deeper tendencies. This tendency gives competency the stature of an unstable dimension as stated in the paper that tries to overcome some of the major limitations of the existing models of competency. The meta competency frame work suggested here attempts to understand the intricacies of managerial success from the underlying dimensions of
personality process competency, motivational competency, emotional competency, behavioral competency, social competency and cognitive competency all of which are presumed to provide a stable groundwork of managerial success.
