The term "competence" is complex and multifaceted, and the implications of this approach are far reaching. Summing competence as a on individual susceptibility to self-organize in novel situations , so this concept includes the possibility of personal development. This is to be understood that a person is based on their individual occurrences of skills in a position to more or less appropriate new behaviors in novel situations generate.
A special case is the so-called skills development. This provides In the ideal case so that an employee of the entity during the confrontation with difficult but achievable goals generate new behaviors that allow him in the future implementation of similar economic goals. This limits the from self-organized generation of new practices skills development of conventional staff development activities, which focus on explicit knowledge and convergent problem solving in the foreground.
basis for setting of appropriate targets for skills development, knowledge of the current individual forms of competence is sought. To determine this, you need a suitable Measuring instrument for measuring competence . I am concerned with the development of a questionnaire to measure competence, and I test an innovative methodology for the development of the items. This uses (1) the recognition of Situational Judgement Tests, (2) the assumption that persons treated with strong expression of a competence relevant situations as a challenge, as persons with low expression and (3) a schematic approach to the various response options to develop the items that yes Situational Judgement Tests in the same should be attractive.
In my study to the approach described above with conventional methods are compared for competence assessment. I use this in mind in particular the comparison with measurement instruments, the items with Likert scales. These are often very general way, while describing the above items in Situational Judgement Tests realistic situations. Various psychological, empirically proven theories suggest hypotheses that correlations are expected in about. The sample is put together of leaders.
