Competencies among human resource development practitioners according to disciplines and levels in Malaysian organizations
2016
Malaysia is shifting from its current practices in human resources of training and
development, to become more aware of trends in workforce competencies and their positive
social and economic impacts. The lack of well-trained, experienced, and competent workers in
job market create a gap between various levels and discipline in organization. It is a key factor
that drives between success and failure in the organization performance. Hence, organizations
are more aware of how to align worker’s skills with the tasks given to ensure that they are
competent to undertake the job effectively. The new trend in workplace is to transform
workers knowledge, expertise, and skills to prepare them to be more competent employees and
better suited to the job market. Thus, this study examines the differences between human
resource development discipline and human resource development level, in regards to the
competency group in Malaysian organization. The findings of this study indicated that the
Malaysian Human Resource Development practitioners perceived that competencies are
important to the organization. However, this study found no significant difference between
human resource development disciplines and human resource development levels in three
competency groups. The results from this study have provided evidence that the competencies
are keys for organizational performance.
