Der Artikel Competency and competency framework (Lates revisoion April 2007) beschreibt die Unterscheidungen, die in der englischsprachigen Literatur zu finden sind: “Although in the 1980s and 1990s HR professionals drew a distinction between ‘competencies’ and ‘competences’, now the two terms are often used interchangeably. ‘Competency’ is more precisely defined as the behaviours that employees must have, or must acquire, to input into a situation in order to achieve high levels of performance, while ‘competence’ relates to a system of minimum standards or is demonstrated by performance and outputs.” Siehe auch Boyatzis (1982): The competent manager – a model for effective performance.
