LOMA's Competency Dictionary

Attention HR management! Specific behaviors determine the level of competency required for effective performance for each job at your company. LOMA's Competency Dictionary can help you get a head start in uncovering the critical competencies for non-managerial jobs in your organization.

You can use LOMA's Competency Dictionary to build effective competency models. This tool can have a great impact on various HR functions, including research and selection, training and development, and performance management.

The LOMA dictionary is the product of an extensive evaluation of many organizations, roles and jobs through interviews, focus groups and surveys. Hundreds of managers and employees provided input to LOMA, as did various organizational strategists, futurists and psychologists.

From this research, LOMA staff developed a competency framework of 14 broad competencies encompassing 46 specific competencies. Here are a few examples of important competencies covered:

Willingness to learn
Stress tolerance
Initiative
Adaptability
Multi-tasking
Motivating others

The LOMA Competency Dictionary includes a detailed definition of each competency, along with specific behaviors that further define each competency at a basic, moderate, and high level of performance.

By using this dictionary, you can:

  • Use a research-based inventory of competencies with confidence as a starting point in creating competency models

  • Easily adapt the LOMA competencies to your organization for alignment with your company's strategic goals and direction

  • Save time by getting a jump-start on identifying specific behaviors associated with competencies important to your organization

You may be able to apply the dictionary's competencies to your company's jobs without any change, or you may need to customize some competencies to fit your environment.

The dictionary explains how to create competency models, how to create a communication strategy for implementing the models, monitoring and evaluating the competency models, and potential pitfalls.

LOMA's Competency Dictionary costs $330 for LOMA members, and $430 for nonmembers. It may be purchased separately or used in conjunction with the LOMASelect® Entry Level Suite or LOMASelect® Customer Service Suite of assessment tools.
