title = {Competency Management: Balancing Between Commitment and Control},
year = {2006},
note = {This study investigated the relationships between commitment and
control approaches and the use of competency management by adopting
the theory of planned behavior. Questionnaires were filled out by 43
human resource experts working in different organizations. We expected
components of the theory of planned behavior to mediate the
relationship between commitment and control approaches and the use of
competency management (behavior). Regression analysis showed that
perceived behavioral control mediated the relation between commitment
approach and behavior. Furthermore, the data revealed that attitude
towards competency management was more positive and perceived
behavioral control was higher when competency management was
implemented with a commitment instead of a control approach.
Subjective norm was strongly related to behavior. Based on the
results, for competency management to be frequently used, we argue for
increased behavioral control, and for an organizational climate in
which competency management is widely accepted.},
