Competence Assesment: The Role of Collective Determinants of Performance

Currently there are many theoretical approaches and taxonomies about competencies. Regrettably, most competence models pay little or no attention to collective performance determinants and physical conditions. Current personality theory does not allow this omission, which could result in irrelevant interventions or, even worse, inadequate distribution of responsibilities. This paper presents a model of analysis that corrects this failure and two examples of its application obtained from consulting and academic research experiences.
