“…The competence of Problem-solving, defined in this study as the ability to manage information and to analyse and make effective decisions, is consistent with similar areas of competence noted by the professions of nursing (NRAA, 1990;ANRAC, 1989), law (Gonczi et al, 1990), medicine (Burg, Lloyd & Templeton, 1982) and management (Burgoyne & Stuart, 1978;Whetten & Cameron, 1984). Similarly, 'relating well to others' is implicated in the professions of medicine (Burg et al, 1982), management (Burgoyne & Stuart, 1978) and nursing (NRAA, 1990). In the present study, the competence of relating to others is reflected in two factors.…”

This study examines the extent to which there are competencies which are generic to professions in Australia. The seven professions of accountancy, architecture, human resource management, marketing, social work, and teaching from around Australia were surveyed using an 80-item questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed by reviewing the literature on professional competencies; workshopping with representatives of the professional groups with nominal group technique and small group discussion; and using a preliminary study of individuals in four professional groups. A factor analysis, accounting for 51.9 percent of the total variance, extracted nine factors: Problem-solving, Others Orientation, Professional Involvement, Internal Frame of Reference, Emotional Competence, Influencing, Organizational Knowledge, Proactivity, and Client Orientation. This study discusses the implications of these results for the education of professionals, for human resource managers involved in the selection, training and development of professionals, and for the transition of professionals to managers. These issues are of increasing importance to human resource managers in their role as developers of organizational capability.

“…In general, it is understood to describe one's ability to carry out a specific task with individuals falling somewhere along a continuum of ability. In medicine competence is understood to encompass more than the specific abilities required and includes the conditions under which the ability should be manifest, as well as the standard at or above which that ability should be maintained [18]. Beginning in 1999 with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Outcome Project, articulation and evaluation of specific competencies has played a large role in undergraduate and post graduate medical school curricula and specialty practices.…”

Background: The past decades have occasioned an explosion of research on Domestic Violence and the health care response. It has become clear that abused women are frequently seen in emergency departments, yet despite the research, the prevalence of the issue among patients, its serious health consequences, and the need for training acknowledged by numerous medical organizations, there is no standardized curriculum for training health care providers, nor an articulated set of competencies to guide curricular development.

“…Traditional approaches to delineating the components of clinical competence include expert panels (e.g., Benson et al, 1979;Burg et al, 1976;Burg, Lloyd, & Templeton, 1982) and consensus techniques (e.g., Cowles & Kubany, 1959;Hubbard, 1978;Price et al, 1971). Both approaches are based on assumptions that competence inheres in individuals and generahzes across situations.…”

This study investigates the construct validity of three methods used to evaluate clinical competence in medicine: standardized test, supervisor performance ratings, and peer performance ratings. Three attributes of clinical competence are investigated: cognitive abilities, interpersonal skills, and professional qualities. Measures representing each attribute-method combination include: National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) examination (standardized test of cognitive abilities); two scales derived from the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) (standardized test of interpersonal skills and professional qualities); and the three scales derived from the Resident Evaluation Form (REF) (peer and supervisor ratings of all three attributes). Scores for each attribute-method combination were obtained from a convenience sample of 166 resident physicians in three primary care specialties. These scores were cast into a multitrait-multimethod matrix design and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis. Results suggest a lack of construct validity for the CPI and REF scales, moderate convergent validity
