능력과 스킬 그리고 역량의 차이 : ‘토끼와 거북이’ 그리고 스포츠 스타 선수들 예시 적용

Studying on human resource development or developing, fostering and managing human resource, it will be possible only if the abilities(capabilities) and competencies, which are the core of human resource development management, are clearly defined and understood. But, most of HR managers, consultants and organizational staffs have confused on the concept of the ability, skill and competence. It is the reality that many people do not clearly distinguish between ability and competence, and it is difficult to find a case where the difference between the terms ability and competence is clearly discussed. Although the domestic private enterprise sector and the public sector have introduced competency evaluation systems such as ability evaluation system and NCS, they do not deviate from the existing ability-attitude centered work evaluation system. In the meantime, the academic studies have defined competency as ‘the behavior expressed by high performers commonly found in high performers’. You make mistakes of tautology of a causal variable that the characteristics you create high performance. Therefor competence-based HR system are not operating effectively. The competencies need not be defined as ‘personal intrinsic characteristics of high performers’ or ‘factors that create high performance’ Competence, like competence, needs to be understood as a factor observed in both low and high performers, not necessarily characteristics observed only in high performers. This paper clarify the concept of the ability, skill and competence through the story of ‘the Rabbit and Turtle’ and sports stars such as Kim Yuna, Yang Hak-Sun etc. Also this paper try to manifest the relations of the ability, skill and competence.
