Analysis on Literature Review of Competency

Currently, human resources management has been viewed as a key strategy to low the cost of human capital and improve an organization’s economic growth. The term of “competency” plays the important role in improving job performance and in turn qualifies human resources. Especially, under the climate of globalization, the workplace requires business practitioners to acquire a new set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes to face the diversity and complication of the new business environment successfully. The main purpose of this study was to analyze a review of the literature concerning the development, models, categorization, paradigm shift. Especially, the study collected Taiwanese research patterns of competency. Moreover, the system of Taiwan TrainQuali System(TTQS) was presented as a successful example in application of competency.
