Abstract:
Competence becomes competitive advantage for a business at all times. Making human resource more effective, competence based hiring, development, and performance evaluation are popular phenomena discussed in the literature though not very
common in practice. Despite their importance, the reason these are not commonly implemented may be the complexity
of the subject and the absence of a generalized framework, which can be adopted with little or no modifications. There
have been efforts made for competency framework development, but these are occupation-specific and usually limited in
implementation. A need for an easily replicated general framework exists, which has followed a structured and scientific
methodology utilizing professional expertise during development, which is simple to understand and is applicable to as
many jobs as required. This article examines in detail the development approach of a generic competency framework using
scientific tools and producing weighted ratings of competencies. The purpose is to establish confidence in potential users for
a methodology that is applicable to the development of a similar framework for a diverse array of jobs
