Overview
We are going to discuss competences needed at work, this is the last piece of introduction to employment lecture. Taking a look at the graph on Work Related Competence, it consists of three domains which are Administrative Competence, Occupation Required and Industry Related Competence.
Let`s start with occupation required, for instance an accountant is supposed to know something about accounting, not only know but also practice and be able let`s say to debit, credit accounts and be skilled to do a general ledger and be able to create balance sheet, income statement and so forth. It is not everything you need to know, so occupation requires competence a big chunk but it is not everything. An accountant in aerospace industry accounting there will be slightly different from accounting lets` say in film production. So debit and credits would be treated the same but practices, taxes, expenses can be different so that is why industry related competence comes into play. But even if you know debits and credits, even if you know how expenses are calculated in aerospace industry you still need to know how to read and write, you need something more general. Also known as administrative competence.
Administrative Competence Consists of competence needed to undertake any enterprise efforts, conceptual requirement regardless of specific industry or occupation, It consists of operational competence, interpersonal competence and enterprise competence.
Operational Competence, sometimes it`s called technical or technical skills, it`s now skills and abilities needed to perform most of the jobs which include capacity to read, write, analyze, use computers etc.
Interpersonal Competence, human interpersonal skills, or sometimes people`s skill. It`s now skills and abilities to work with other people individually and in a group. This includes active listening, communicate, understand other`s motivation and so on.
Lastly, Enterprise Competence. Sometimes known as Organization Skills, Conceptual Competence, and this is the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to undertake enterprise efforts as well as to work in and with enterprises. This competence includes capacity to navigate organization and bureaucracies, plan resources and execute regulatory compliance and so on.
