Abstract

Employee competency is an essential criterion of Human resources, particularly in Research and Development (R&D) based organizations. The capability of an individual is replicated in such critical places, resulting in performance outcomes that can be measured from financial, structural, business, human capital, and relationship perspective.


The competencies are grouped under five significant heads called core, professional, management, operational, and expert competencies. A structured questionnaire was developed and formally mailed to the Institutes listed in the Directory of R&D, India, chosen by stratified simple random sampling method. The structural equation model showcases the implications of acquisition, selection process, reliability of selection tests, and H.R. Policies as the determinants leading to some significant performance outcomes. AMOS 21 is used for the structural equation model.


The employee hiring strategy, selection procedure, predictive ability of selection tests, organizational Human Resource (H.R.) policy, and employee competencies contribute to the performance outcomes of the research and development institutions of India.


The competencies measured during the selection process should be exhibited by the R & D professions in the organization. The efficiency of R&D Institutes is boosted by adopting the competency-based selection process. The managers can develop a competency dictionary for the firm, which leads to attaining the institution’s objectives and results in outreached performance.
