...Co-op Education employer Research Report AsiaPacific Journal of Cooperative Education ca edu tor stu den t Assessing the Contribution of Internship in Developing Australian Tourism and Hospitality Students’ Management Competencies Maree Walo School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Southern Cross University, PO Box 157 Lismore, NSW, Australia Received 24 September 2001; accepted 8 October 2001 This study assessed students’ perceptions of their level of management competence, before and after the internship component of their degree programme. A self-assessment instrument utilising the management competencies within the Competing Values Framework (Quinn, Faerman, Thompson, & McGrath, 1990) was used for the empirical stages of the study. The key findings of this research imply that the internship programme has proved effective in contributing towards the development of management competencies for this cohort of students. The study provides valuable insight into the relationship between internship and the development of students’ management competencies and highlights the need for further research in this area (Asia-Pacific Journal of Cooperative Education 2001 2(2), 12-28). Keywords: assessment; tourism and hospitality; management competencies I n order to meet the future demands for appropriately skilled managers and workers, ongoing collaboration and consultation with industry is required to ensure the goals of all primary stakeholders - students...

...October 2002 national competency standards for the enrolled nurse Introduction Description of Enrolled Nurse National Competency Standards Assessing Competence Glossary of Terms Introduction The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council (ANMC) is a peak national nursing and midwifery organisation established in 1992 with the purpose of developing a national approach to nursing and midwifery regulation. The ANMC works in conjunction with the state and territory nursing and midwifery regulatory authorities (NMRAs) to produce national standards which are an integral component of the regulatory framework to assist nurses and midwives to deliver safe and competent care. The standards include the national competency standards for enrolled nurses which were first adopted by the ANMC in the early 1990s. These have been reviewed and revised regularly since then. Other standards developed by the ANMC for implementation by the NMRAs include the competency standards for registered nurses, midwives and nurse practitioners, codes of professional conduct and ethics, and a range of position statements and guidelines. The full list of standards, position papers and guidelines produced by the ANMC can be viewed on the website. The national competency standards for the enrolled nurse are scheduled for review in 2007. This review will be undertaken by a team of expert nursing consultants and will include extensive consultation with nurses around Australia. The purpose underpinning the review...

...INTRODUCTION Earlier, in many organizations, people were tested based on some conventional tests of abilities and intelligence. But those tests were unable to predict one’s job performance or success in life as well as his career. Even, sometimes it is seen that the selection was biased. So, the term competency has introduced to overcome these defects, suggesting that it made possible the development of valid and unbiased predictors of performance. Competency is the combination of someone’s abilities, skills, knowledge, values and interest. Knowledge is defined variously as expertise, and skills are the practice of understanding through experience and education. So, competency based job analysis become one of the vital factors in today’s HR practices in modern organizations. Competency-based job analysis means describing a particular job in terms of the measurable, observable and behavioral competencies that an employee doing the job must exhibit to the job perfectly. DISCUSSIONS Job analysis Job analysis is the basic and important part of human resource management.

Skilled Leaders are critical to the success level of any venture, both profit and non-profit. This was validated in the research Jim Collins and his team conducted for his book, Good to Great. They confirmed that the most successful organizations had skilled Transforming Leaders at the helm. (Jim Collins called them Level 5 Leaders.) Our research, however, has shown that fewer than 1 in 10 professionals (as observed in video-taped assessment sessions) have competency in the whole range of skills to Level 4 competency (scores of 7 to 8). And even fewer individuals have the abilities—Level 5 competency, scores of 9 to 10—to teach others the skills outlined in the Leadership Skills Inventory. This confirms why there is such a Leadership vacuum globally in organizations, from government to business; they simply do not have the Transformational Leadership Skills to achieve success. Fortunately, the old adage leaders are born not developed is not true. Effective leadership behaviors can be observed,...

...1. Introduction Organizational effectiveness is paramount to the success of any company, whether this relates to a Small or Medium Enterprise (SME) or a much larger global organization. Therefore it is essential that business leaders have a firm understanding of all aspects that contribute to organizational effectiveness; this includes an understanding of how individual differences contribute to this. This paper considers how organizational effectiveness can be enhanced by organizations having a thorough understanding of individual (employee) differences and how these differences affect the contribution of the individual on the business. Additionally this paper considers how organizations may exploit this knowledge and gives consideration to the most significant barrier to such exploitation. 2. Organizational Effectiveness All organizations strive to be effective and much effort is expended in achieving and measuring organization effectiveness. Whilst the definition of ‘organization’ does not necessarily have to relate to a business or company in every instance, for the purpose of this paper the term will relate to a ‘business organization’ and therefore organizational effectiveness will relate to achievement of organizational goals or business objectives. “From the perspective of an employee, the extent to which an organization can provide satisfaction of the needs associated with the following range of variables is a major consideration in...

Understanding that the company is structured around marketing tells us that Yolanda plays a major role in the direction of the company. As we investigate the nature of an average day of Yolanda, we begin to see whether she is doing the right things, or simply just doing things right. When trying to understand where Yolanda excels or comes up short as a manager we will look at the seven key competencies for individual, team, and organizational effectiveness. These competencies will shed some light on how to be an effective leader and help her organization prosper. From the textbook, “A competency is an interrelated cluster of knowledge, skills, and abilities needed by an individual, team, or organization for effective performance.” (Hellriegel & Slocum 8) Overall, there are seven of these competencies which include; self, diversity, across cultures, communication, teams, change, and ethics (with ethics being at the center of the other six categories)....
