Factors Affecting Organizational Work Conditions on Employee Job Satisfaction...ijtsrd
Job satisfaction among workers is important to customer satisfaction and corporate efficiency in a competitive environment. Workers regard working conditions as key components for their success require frequent assessments to recognize and enhance factors that are vital to increasing job satisfaction. The goal of the analysis was to investigate the effects of the institutional working conditions on the morale of employees in the airline industry in Ethiopia. The study followed a descriptive explanatory research methodology, examining a heterogeneous population of 95 from 200 workers of the Ethiopian airline. A self governing questionnaire was used to collect data analyzed by means of descriptive and inferential statistics. The research accomplished an 82.11 percent response rate. The findings from the study indicate high correlation coefficients of 0.882 between working conditions and employee job satisfaction. Likewise, there was evidence of a strong and positive correlation between employee job satisfaction and remuneration of 0.831 . In addition, proof of a positively correlated elasticity between employee promotion and employee job satisfaction at 0.512 . Generally, the total job satisfaction rate in the airline industry was 3.752 out of a total of 5. The three objective factors contributed to 83 percent of differences in the happiness of workers and were, therefore, the key to the satisfaction of employees. In order to improve the job satisfaction of workers, airline management should endeavor to provide training and development programs for staff members to enhance their work skills, and periodically update working conditions and other terms of service in general, to encourage the process in accordance with industry trends in order to make it more profitable.

Career management practices and programmers
Many companies today are struggling with how to meet employee expectations regarding career development and advancement opportunities at a time when organizations are delayering and growth in the U.S. has slowed. In order to address this concern, E. L. Goldberg & Associates has collected career
management benchmark information and best practices from 34 organizations, representing a wide variety of industries. A supplemental study collected data from 75 professionals regarding how they define career success. Results indicate a significant shift in defining success in terms of intrinsic satisfiers versus the traditional more objective measures of success.
The benchmarking results reveal a major call to action for employers. Employees’ perceptions of career development and opportunities is frequently one of the lowest rated items on employee surveys, and research shows this is one of the top predictors of employee engagement. Despite this fact most companies subscribe to a philosophy of career self-reliance, essentially abdicating their responsibility for career management, leaving it up to the employee to figure out.
E. L. Goldberg & Associates believes that organizations can be more proactive in career management holding managers more accountable for understanding their employees’ career aspirations and educating employees on their career options. In addition, managers need to devote time to creating challenging opportunities that will contribute to individual career growth and development. This report outlines several best practices that participating companies utilize to facilitate career
management with both high-potential employees and the broader employee population.
These practices can have an impact on changing employees perceptions as two of the more innovative companies in this study reported that they created greater retention and career development satisfaction by providing people with development experiences versus simply a promotion. It is time for organizations to change their career management philosophies and become a more proactive partner in helping employees build their career.
The global marketplace and ever-changing workforce have created the need for organizations to engage human resources practices that recognize their human capital as their major competitive advantage. In fact, the current trends emphasize the growing demand for effective, creative recruitment and retention initiatives. Most human resources executives will cite the need to stay competitive with these initiatives as one of their biggest challenges. One of the basic principles to assist with this challenge is to embrace proactive and strategic career management practices that can provide you with a strong foundation for gaining a competitive edge.

Career management practices and programmers
Many companies today are struggling with how to meet employee expectations regarding career development and advancement opportunities at a time when organizations are delayering and growth in the U.S. has slowed. In order to address this concern, E. L. Goldberg & Associates has collected career
management benchmark information and best practices from 34 organizations, representing a wide variety of industries. A supplemental study collected data from 75 professionals regarding how they define career success. Results indicate a significant shift in defining success in terms of intrinsic satisfiers versus the traditional more objective measures of success.
The benchmarking results reveal a major call to action for employers. Employees’ perceptions of career development and opportunities is frequently one of the lowest rated items on employee surveys, and research shows this is one of the top predictors of employee engagement. Despite this fact most companies subscribe to a philosophy of career self-reliance, essentially abdicating their responsibility for career management, leaving it up to the employee to figure out.
E. L. Goldberg & Associates believes that organizations can be more proactive in career management holding managers more accountable for understanding their employees’ career aspirations and educating employees on their career options. In addition, managers need to devote time to creating challenging opportunities that will contribute to individual career growth and development. This report outlines several best practices that participating companies utilize to facilitate career
management with both high-potential employees and the broader employee population.
These practices can have an impact on changing employees perceptions as two of the more innovative companies in this study reported that they created greater retention and career development satisfaction by providing people with development experiences versus simply a promotion. It is time for organizations to change their career management philosophies and become a more proactive partner in helping employees build their career.
The global marketplace and ever-changing workforce have created the need for organizations to engage human resources practices that recognize their human capital as their major competitive advantage. In fact, the current trends emphasize the growing demand for effective, creative recruitment and retention initiatives. Most human resources executives will cite the need to stay competitive with these initiatives as one of their biggest challenges. One of the basic principles to assist with this challenge is to embrace proactive and strategic career management practices that can provide you with a strong foundation for gaining a competitive edge.

Every organization needs inventory for smooth running of its activities. It serves as a link between production and distribution processes. The investment in inventories constitutes the most significant part of current assets/working capital in most of the undertakings. Thus, it is very essential to have proper control and management of inventories. The purpose of inventory management is to ensure availability of materials in sufficient quantity as and when required and also to minimize investment in inventories. Raw materials, goods in process and finished goods all represent various forms of inventory. Each type represents money tied up until the inventory leaves the company as purchased products. Because of the large size of the inventories maintained by firms, a considerable amount of funds is required to be committed to them.
It is therefore absolutely imperative to manage inventories efficiently and effectively in order to avoid unnecessary investments. A firm neglecting the management of inventories will be jeopardizing its long run profitability and may fail ultimately. The reduction in excessive inventories carries a favorable impact on the company’s profitability.
The study starts with an introduction to inventory management, Company’s profile, Achievements and also the need for study, review of literature and objectives are set out for the study. Research methodology, Data analysis & Interpretation, Findings and Suggestions of the study follow.

Rural Livelihood and Food Security: Insights from Srilanka Tapu of Sunsari Di...journal ijrtem
Food security is the foremost need of every human society. It is a fundamental right and
government responsibility but still food insecurity is prevalent in rural areas of least developed nations. To cope
with food insecurity, undertaking diverse income generating activities is common as well as key strategy adopted
by rural people. The objective of this study is to assess rural livelihood and food security status of a remote island
named Srilanka Tapu of Sunsari district. A random sampling technique was used to collect primary data from 40
rural household heads using semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive methods were used for analyzing. The
findings revealed that the food security situation of the Tapu is insecure. Most basic infrastructures and social
services needed for people livelihood such as road, electricity sufficient food availability, education, healthcare,
sanitation, etc. were found to be extremely poor. Most of the households are small scale farmers involving
themselves in diverse livelihood activities which are mostly temporary, low-skilled and low paying. However,
people are fulfilling their food needs at every cost but are highly vulnerable to food insecurity. Also, their lives
security is equally vulnerable because of disastrous Koshi River flooding which occurs every year in the Tapu.
The findings therefore critically suggest that food security of remote and vulnerable human settlements should be
at top priority in policy formulation and implementation level. The study also recommends a need for an in-depth
research for making evidence based policy interventions for improvement of diversify rural livelihood along with
sustainable environment

Clustering based Time Slot Assignment Protocol for Improving Performance in U...journal ijrtem
Recently, numerous approaches have been proposed for designing medium access control (MAC)
in underwater acoustic networks (UANs). Some of those works tried to adapt MAC protocols proposed for
terrestrial networks. However, unique environmental characteristics of UANs make the MAC protocols hard to be
used in the UANs and degrade network performance. In order to improve network performance, COD-TS MAC
protocol was proposed. COD-TS focuses on both single hop and multi-hop mode and utilizes CDMA for
exchanging schedule information between cluster heads. COD-TS has shortcomings such as collisions, additional
energy consumption by exchanging schedule information and near-far effect of CDMA. To overcome above
shortcomings, we propose a clustering-based time slot assignment protocol. In the proposed protocol, nodes are
clustered, and each cluster head performs two-hop neighbor cluster discovery operation. And then, a cluster head
obtains its own relative position information. Finally, the cluster head assigns its own time slot for data
transmission based on the information. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol has always better
performance compared to the COD-TS.

Sidi Boughaba Lake, part of a wetland complex of Morocco (Ramsar site in 1980) is located on
the Atlantic coast of northwestern Morocco, oriented NNE - SSW and located in an interdunal depression. The
existence of this body of water is due to the fact that the topographic surface is at a lower cost than that of the
piezometric surface of the coastal water table, rainwater and runoff water. The objective of this study is to
determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the waters of this lake. Thus, several water samples were
taken monthly in the period 2016-2017. Parameters such as: temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC),
chloride (Cl-
), turbidity (NTU), calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+). The results obtained show that the
distribution of the analyzed elements in Lake waters is quite variable between seasons, as well as between stations.
However, the analysis showed that the studied waters are very mineralized, with an EC between 7 g/l and 14.8
g/l. This mineralization is essentially evaporitic and is controlled by various processes, such as evaporation and
marine influence by aerosol.
The case of a cyclist and tractor traffic accident journal ijrtem
When assessing the cause of a traffic accident, it is also necessary for the technical expert to

: This paper is aimed at designing a density based dynamic traffic signal system where the timing
of signal will change automatically on sensing the traffic density at any junction using the IoT technology. Traffic
congestion is a severe problem in most cities across the world and therefore it is time to shift more manual mode
or fixed timer mode to an automated system with decision making capabilities. To optimize this problem, we have
made a framework for an intelligent traffic control system. Sometimes higher traffic density at one side of the
junction demands longer green time as compared to standard allotted time. We therefore propose here a
mechanism in which the time period of green light and red light is assigned on the basis of the density of the
traffic present at the time. This is achieved by using LIDAR sensors.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

ABSTRACT : The incidence of poor performance among the private sector organizations in Nigeria has
risen to the level that stakeholders are burdened and bordered with the state of affairs in the organizations
where their money have been invested. The paper examined the extent at which organizations in the Food and
Beverage Firms of Enugu State involve effective management of competency prior to their employment process.
The essence is to find out the relationship if any exists between effective management of competency and the
performance of employees in Food and Beverage Firms in Enugu State, Nigeria. Literature was reviewed
extensively, critically and evaluative and a model of effective competency framework was designed. Data was
gathered from primary source with a structured questionnaire and analyzed using percentages while hypotheses
were tested using chi-square statistical tool by the means of SPSS Statistical Package version 20. The results
and findings showed that there are positive and significant relationships between the sub variables of the study.
Conclusion was drawn based on the findings while recommendations were made based on the conclusion.
KEY WORDS:Effective, Competency, Modeling, Food and Beverage Firms, Enugu State, Nigeria.
I. INTRODUCTION
Human resource management (HRM) has continued to remain on top of the echelon in the management ladder.
This may have been the reason why management experts in theory and the field concur to the fact that
management is universal. The fields of psychology as well as management are both concerned with achieving
the best practice ever in the area of manpower that makes things happen. While the former is concerned with the
theoretical aspect of the issue at stake, the later emphasizes the best in human behavior as crucial in the
achievement or organizational goals, the later takes over from where the later stops by ensuring that the theories,
principles, structures, rules, regulations, policies as well as other major and minor expectations are applied
functionally. Competency management in the area of human resource is concerned with using the notion of
competency and the results of competency analysis to inform and improve the processes of performance
management, recruitment and selection, employee development and employee reward.
The concept of competencies of employees as well as that of the organizations has received the attention of
managers, entrepreneurs and other stake holders now than ever because the recessive nature of world
economies. This stems from the fact that effective management is essentially about the competency of
components especially manpower. Drucker (2009) maintains that the concept of competency is basically about
performance and that any organization that has not been flexible especially with regards to the competency of
her employees would naturally be shown the way out of business by the forces of demand and supply. It
therefore becomes imperative that organizations need to ensure the competency of the employees prior to the
employment. Agreeing with Drucker above, .Manfield (1999) sees competency as “an underlying characteristics
of a person that results in effective or superior performance”.
Closely following the definition by Manfield is that of Rankin (2002) which describes competency as definition
of skills their staff to practice in their work. Stake holders in business management all agree that there is always
a very close relationship between the levels of competencies exhibiting by employees and the general
performance of such organizations. In support of the above, Agbionu, Agbodike and Ojiagu (2015) insisted that
competence plays a vital role in performance because if the employees of any organization are not confirmed
competent, performance of such organization is ensured. In other words, organizations with high level of

employee competencies are expected to do well and vice versa. The Food and Beverage Firms in Nigeria have
been striving hard to make sure that they remain competitive locally and internationally. The industry requires
high level competencies on the part of the employees to succeed. In view of the above, nations such as the U.S,
department of labour has posted the first ever food and beverage service competency model which officially
involve codifying the skills learned at each level of a restaurant industry career. The industry service
competency model profiles. the employability and technical skills essential to achieving life- long career success
in the industry are all crucial in the development of competency profile of an organization. It is now represented
as part of U.S Department of Labour Employment and Training Administration’s Industry Competency Model
Initiative (NRAEF, 2017).
The competency model is composed of the following tiers:
Tier 1: Personal effectiveness competencies
Tier 2: Academic competencies.
Tier 3: Workplace competencies
Tier 4: Industry wide competencies
Tier 5: Industry sector competencies
Tier 6-8: Occupation-sector requirements
Tier 9: Management competencies
These competencies are supposed to be ensured in any staff prior to the employment at least to a great extent.
The essence of ensuring that the existing or incoming staff of any organization is ascertained is that it enables
the organization to have idea in advance the competency level of the incoming employees. In this period of
recession in Nigeria, there is a dire need to design strategies that would make Nigeria a manufacturing
organization especially in Food and Beverage sub-sector competitive and sustainable. The concept of
sustainability has its background in the concepts of effectiveness and efficiency. This was backed up by
Agbionu, Ogadi and Agbasi (2014) when they stated that effectiveness and efficiency are core in the
determination of the performance of organizations. This paper therefore aims at designing a competitive model
that would be used by food and beverage firms for survival in this recessional period.
II. THE PROBLEM
The issue of the competency of already employed workers in organizations has globally continued to generate
unresolved debates between the employers and employees. Employers have continued to monitor and control
the competences of employees through adequate attendance registers, duty roasters, movement registers at
regular on the spot supervisions, at daily, weekly and monthly intervals while the overall competency levels
have been measured and ascertained either quarterly and annually by organizations through the use of Appraisal
Forms (AF). Majority of employees have been found wanting through some of these means while few have
been seen to have been performing within acceptable standards. Some employees that have been found wanting
have been disciplined according to the policies of the organizations while those that have been found to have
been doing well have also been duly rewarded. Conflicts arise when the disciplined employees complain of
unfair treatment from their employers while the employers maintain that those employees have actually not
performed well. The exact point of disagreement may lie in the instruments used to monitor the performance,
appropriateness, fairness and the adequacy of the punitive disciplinary measures passed on the workers. The
point of disagreement lies also on the question of how competent is a particular worker over another especially
as declared by the organizational reward system.
The above problem has remained unresolved because once workers are already employed; it becomes very
difficult to handle cases of persistent poor performance. of employees. Some organizations resort to hire and fire
which is not too healthy for organizations especially in the areas of the cost of hiring employees financially and
otherwise. To positively and proactively deal with the above problem, the present study intends to build a
framework which will serve as a model for ascertaining the level of competency of employees prior to
employment. This the study proposes as a way out of this disturbing trend in manufacturing industries in Nigeria
especially the Food and Beverage Firms in Enugu State.
III. THE OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of the study are to build a model which will serve as a model for ascertaining the level of
competency of employees prior to employment and to ascertain the relationship if any exist between the
competency of employees before hiring and their eventual performance in the work place.
The specific objectives are;

study.
c. To ascertain the influence of technical competencies on the quality of products of the organizations.
IV. RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The basic questions which the study seek answers to are;
a. Is competency model relevant to organizations prior to employment process.
b. What is the extent of influence of behavioral skills on the customer loyalty of the organization?
c. To what extent have technical skills influenced the quality of products of the organization
V. RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
The study formulated and tested the following hypotheses.
a. There is a significant influence of behavioral skills on the customer loyalty of the organization.
b. There is a significant influence of technical skills on the quality of products of the organization.
VI. OPERATIONALIZATION OF VARIABLES
The major variables of the study were to operationalize with behavioral skills, technical skills and vocational
skills as the independent variable of the specific objectives while the major dependent variable were
operationalized using customer loyalty, quality of the products and efficiency of the employees.
VII. RELATED LITERATURES
Concept of Competency : The concept of employee competencies have tried and will continue to generate
debates on what constitutes employee competencies how are employee competencies determined, who
determines the competencies and issues bordering on how to determine the fact that one employee is more
competent than the other. Experts in the literature believe that the concept of competency presents the language
of performance. In other words, they believed that competent employees are high performing employees. In
other words high level of competency has direct relationship with high level performance. Competency has been
described as a process used to articulate both the expected outcomes from an individual’s efforts and the manner
in which these activities are carried out. In other words, competencies are expected to be a general standard for
measuring the performance of employees in a common platform. In view of the above, competencies provides
common and universally understood means of describing expected performance in many different context
(Rankin,2002). It is commonly understood and universally applied nature of competency for measuring
expected outcomes in the area of performance that gives it an edge over other means of measuring expected
outcome of performance. In the area of human resource, competency is primarily based on the concept of
behavioral and technical competencies as Armstrong (2009) but according to him, some areas include vocational
competencies but for the sake of this study, we are more concerned with behavioral and technical competencies.
While behavioral competencies deals with behavioral expectations of the employees, technical competencies
define what people have to know (knowledge and skills) to be able to carry out their roles effectively
(Armstrong 2009).
Behavioral expectations means the type of behavior required to deliver results under such headings as team
work, communication, leadership and decision making; Armstrong opines. He continued to state that behavioral
expectations are sometimes referred to as “soft skill”. Technical competencies on their part are related to either
generic roles (groups of similar roles) or to individual roles (role specific competencies). Technical
competencies are not usually part of a behavioral-based competency frame work although of course the two are
closely linked when considering and assessing role demands and requirements. It is very pertinent to compare
the term competence and competency. While competency is related to behaviors, competence according to
Woodruff (1990) is a work-related concept which refers to areas of work at which the person is competent.
Competent people at work are those who meet their expectations. Competences are sometimes known as “hard
skills”. Technical competencies and competence are closely related, although the latter has a particular and more
limited meaning when applied to NVQs/NVQs National and Scottish National Vocational qualification
Importance of the Application of Competency in an Organization : Many reasons have been advocated by
renowned authors of management books and experts in management theoretical and in practice on the
usefulness of competency in organizations. These reasons revolve around finding the best competencies in
applicants prior to employment process. Although some management experts especially those in favor of the
line organization structure as the best option even for functional organizations that once an individual attains a
4. Effective Competency Modeling and The Performance of Food….

given level of academic pursuit irrespective of his area of concentration, he can handle any given job in any
given areas provided he has been exposed to induction training in that special areas after employment,
it is a very bad practice to employ a person in an area of specialization he or she did not train on because it is
difficult for anybody to give what he or she does not have. In view of the above and more it becomes highly
imperative that organizations engage in ascertaining the competency levels of their employees prior to
employment.
Competency Framework : A competency frame work is a frame work that contains definitions of the
behavioral competencies used in the whole or part of an organization. It is a frame work that provides the basis
for the use of competencies in such areas as recruitment, performance management, learning and development
and reward (Armstrong, 2009). The same record revealed that a survey of competency and emotional
intelligence (2006/2007) established that the 49 frame work reviewed had a total of 553 competency headings.
The same record presumes that many of these overlapped. The typical number of competencies was seven,
rising to eight where the frame work apply solely to managers.
The contents of competency frameworks with the most popular headings the way Armstrong (2009) put it are as
follows: Team orientation, communication, people management, customer focus results orientation, problem
solving planning and organizing, technical skills, leadership. These different headings are supposed to be
expanded so that the different aspects of each part will be included. A good and effective competency
framework is expected to contain at least all the above parts. The coverage of relevant competencies is also
very vital here. Rankin, (2002) stated that a good coverage of competencies are supposed to be in this form – 22
percent covered the whole work force, 48 per cent confined competencies to specific work groups, functions, or
departments,20 per cent have a core competency framework that covers all staff in respect of behavioral
competencies, alongside sets of technical competencies in function/departments.
How to Develop a Competency Framework : There is no hard and fast rule as to the best way to go about
developing a good competency framework. Any organization can approach it from any angle it likes but the
most important thing is that all the relevant aspects must be covered and the rule of natural order of things must
be observed. However, these are the guidelines as presented by Armstrong (2009).
a. Decide on the purpose of the framework and the human resource (HR) process for which it will be used.
b. Make out a business case for its development, setting out the benefits.
c. Prepare a project plan that includes an assessment of the resources required and the costs. Involve line
managers and employees in the design of the framework
d. Communicate the objectives of the exercise to the staff
e. Draw up a list of the core competencies of the business
f. Define the competencies for inclusion in a competency framework
g. Test and finalize and communicate framework
Though the above is the case, Armstrong (2009) however presented key to success in using competencies in
organizations.
a. Frameworks should not be over-complex
b. There should not be too many heading in a framework – seven or eight will often be enough
c. The language used should be clear and free from known or unknown jargon free
d. Competencies must be selected and defined in ways that ensure that they can be assessed by managers. The
use of behavioral indicators is helpful
e. Frameworks should be regularly updated.
A typical example of competency definition illustrated with indicators in a housing association as illustrated by
Armstrong (2009) will buttress my claims.

The above shows how competency of applicants can be ascertained prior to employment, The areas of attention
and the values attached to them in the order of importance and clear indicators that without a good competency
framework at hand, any organization venturing into employment contract would be coming out with baseless
and unreliable employees whose competencies the organization cannot vouch for.
Theoretical Background of the Study : Theoretically, the determination of the competencies of employees
originated from McClelland in 1973. He opined that the competencies in the behavior of an employee need to be
ascertained prior to employment. His study revealed that employees with level behavioral competencies
performed better than those with low behavioral competencies. McClelland recommended the use of criterion-
referenced assessment. Criterion referencing or validation according to him is the process of analyzing the key
aspect of behavior that differentiates between effective and less effective performance, he concluded. In addition
to the views expressed by McClelland, the theory of competitive advantage plays a major role in this study.
Michael Porter in 1980 conducted a study where he explains how firms gain competitive edge over their
competitors by employing efficient use of their unique capabilities into action. To support him, Thatte (2007)
argues that competitive advantage comprises of distinctive competitive (unique capabilities) that sets an
organization apart from competitors, thus giving them an edge in the market place. Competitive advantage is a
strategic advantage a firm gains over other competitors by providing customers with excellent and quality
services in a flexible, quick, convenient, reliable and efficient manner.
This is the crux of effective modeling of competency as proposed and engaged in by the study. Flexibility in
production and service, quickness in concepts, convenience, reliability and efficiency are all the emphasis of
effective competency management and that is what the present study advocates. Both McClelland and Porter
were concerned not just on the process of employing workers but on the fact that the workers to be employed
must be the ones that will be competent enough to guarantee the achievement of the mission as well as the
vision of the organization both in the near future.
Empirical Review of the Study: Some studies have been conducted in the past around the concepts and
constructs of the study and results got, findings emerged and decisions taken around similar problems in several
environments. Some of those studies include: In a study by Nada and Ibrahim (2014) on core competences and
organizational performance as a critical issue in Iraqi Private Banking Sector, The study which used 200
managers as respondents used correlation coefficient and found that there is a significant correlation among core
competences and organizational performance. In another study by Kim (2012), on the relationship between
distinctive capabilities and the performance of small and medium enterprises in Malaysia the result of the study
revealed that there is a significant relationship between distinctive capabilities and the performance of SMEs.
Zaim and Onal (2013) conducted a study on the effects of individual competencies on performance of service
industries in Turkey. The result of the survey using structured questionnaire and Exploratory Factor Analysis
shows that there is a significant positive relationship between competencies and individual performance
Boyatzis conducted a research that established that there was no single factor but a range of factors that
differentiated successful from less successful performance. These factors according to him includes; personal
qualities, motives, Experience and behavioral characteristics. This view prompted him as Amstrong (2009) put it
to define competency as a capacity that exists in a person that leads to behavior that meets the job demands
within the parameters of the organizational environment and that in turn, brings about desired goals and this has
been adopted as the working definition for the study.

Modeling Competency Frame Works for Food and Beverage Firms in Enugu State. So far competencies,
types, frameworks,, illustrations and coverage have been discussed in details in this study.
This section deals with modeling of competency frame work in Food and Beverage firms in Enugu State. This
section was handled bearing in mind the specific environment of the study, needs of the environment,
organizations, customers and employees as well as the ever changing and challenging business environment of
the industry as well as the sensitive nature of the industry applying the (NRAEF,2017) model. The specific
model as adapted from the literature and adopted for this specific purpose is as follows:
Tier 1: Personal Effectiveness Competencies : Here the concern is on what personal traits both (inherited
and acquired) that makes the employees competent in the performance of their jobs. Areas such considered here
include but not limited to such specific attributes as:
Personality of the employees
Communication skills of the employees
Approachability of the employees
Moral standing of the employees
Emotional Stability of the employees etc
Tier 2: Academic Competencies : Here the possession of general knowledge and skills as well as the
specialized knowledge of the employees in the specific area of specialization or general possession of basic
general certificate for general performance are considered and ascertained. Relevant areas include the following
but not limited to them:
Level of qualification ( B.Sc., M Sc, P hD)
Area of qualification (specialization)
Specific technical competencies achieved
Grade of the qualification (1st
class, 2nd
class lower, 3rd
class, pass, fail)
Any academic award of excellence in any area
Tier 3: Workplace Competencies : In this section, the management experts seek information on those
competencies which the employee is expected to display at the work place. Such areas include;
Ability to adapt to specific environmental requirement of the job
Ability to respond positively to the basic demands of the job
Ability to meet up with the time schedules for the job
Ability to respond to other specific demands of the job
Tier 4: Industry Wide Competencies : In this case, the employee is expected to be tested on issues and
competencies bordering on the requirement of the industry on a wide basis. Information required in this case
includes;
General industrial competencies
General attitude in the industry
General comportment before and during operation
Other related competencies that the particular industry demands especially at the workplace to be able to
perform the expected job with little or no supervision and stress.
Workplace competencies deal with the practical demands of the job. It is the practical which was given
foundation by the theory as displaced in Tier 3 above. It is used to confirm the employees’ mastery of the
academic theories learnt at school. There is usually a need to ensure the mastery of this skill prior to
employment especially in areas where provisions are not made for apprenticeship training on the job.
Tier 5: Industry-Sector Competencies : These are the competencies that are required at the industry and sector
levels. Different industries sectors require specific attributes and qualities. The intending employees must
possess to a reasonable extent these competencies to be able to cope in such industries or sectors. For instance,
the Food and Beverage Industry require specific competencies from any employee it intends to employ. Such
competencies include but not limited to:
High level practical skill competencies to meet up with the demands of the customers
High level penmanship ability which enables the employee to take reliable decisions fast and put such skills into
practice
8. Effective Competency Modeling and The Performance of Food….
| Volume 1 | Issue 12 | www.ijrtem.com | 53 |
High level of resourcefulness to be able to use the available materials to achieve the desired objective even
when it is obvious that the material is deficient in quantity and quality
High level ability to forecast current trends in the industry so as to adopt the most current technological skills to
achieve optimum performance
Possession of high level competitive ability which the employee needs to apply to avoid being thrown out of the
market by the forces of demand and supply
Tier 6-8 Occupational-Specific Requirements : Here the specific demands of particular occupations are
emphasized and looked after. For instance, the competencies required to be a lecturer in the higher institutions
are not the same competencies required to be engineers in practice. In this tier the Human Resource Manager or
his representative or even individual consultants in the area of human resource seeks competencies in the
particular occupation and not general competencies. Again, doctors require different competencies from
lawyers. The specific areas of interest in this case are:
Specific academic qualifications in this specialized area
Specific technical competencies required to perform in this special area
Specific moral competencies in line with the code of conduct of that particular occupation
Specific personal attributes in terms of cleanliness, personal comportment, general display of skills in each
occupation.
Tier 9: Management Competencies : To work as a manager in any endeavor demands that the person to
assume such position are expected to possess to a large extent some basic if not all the competencies to perform
creditably as a manager. Although management seems to be an area where there is absolute free entry and exit
but in the real sense of it, it is not. Management is pervasive and universal but that does not make it an area
where everybody can dabble into anyhow. It has its codes of conduct, principles; theories that enable it solve its
problem. Just like any other profession, those that are not experts in management are not supposed to handle
management issues or else, there would be a lot of problems of mismanagement which is suicidal and fatal,
Organizational performance : Though the concept of performance has gained prominence in management
and organizational studies, the term seems not to have a consensus among experts. Greenberg (2011) sees
performance as a set of financial and nonfinancial indicators which offers information on the degree of
achievement of objectives and results.
Therefore performance can be viewed from financial angle or output which is quantitative in nature and
nonfinancial which is qualitative or perceptual. Qualitative and perceptual organizational performance can be
viewed in customer’s loyalty, quality of products and employees efficiency.
Customer loyalty : Customer loyalty is both attitudinal and behavioral tendency to favor one brand over all
others, as a result of satisfaction with the product or service, its convenience or performance or simply
familiarity and comfort with the brand.
Ricardo (2001), customer loyalty can be said to have occurred if people choose to use a particular organizational
product rather than use other organizational products. So customers exhibit customer loyalty when they
consistently purchase a certain product or brand over an extended period of time.
Product Quality : Quality is defined as the ability of a product or service to consistently meet or exceed the
customer requirements or expectations. Different customers will have different expectations. So a working
definition is customer dependent. When we discuss quality, one must consider design, production, and service.
Crosby (2015), quality is the degree to which a specific product conforms to design or specification.
Employee Efficiency : Employee efficiency is a complex measureable parameter which characterizes an output
produced by efforts and by achievements of an employee. Bernard (2014) asserted that employee efficiency
answers these questions.
Is the employee useful to the organisation ie Dose he produce more value than he consumes?
How useful is this employee ie what is the worth of the value the employee produces exactly?
VIII. RESEARCH METHODS
Research Design: The study adopted descriptive research design to describe the relevant issues bordering on the
qualities of the data collected. It also adopted triangulation method whereby both qualitative and quantitative
methods were combined to give meaning to the collected.

Population of the Study : Selected manufacturing industries in Enugu urban took part in the study. The study
made use of the management cadre who are in position to answer the issues raised by the questionnaire. A total
of 286 Executive Officers in the Food and Beverage Industries in Enugu urban participated in the study.
Determination of the Sample Size : Total enumeration method was adopted since the population is not much.
Sources of Data Collection : Relevant data were collected from both primary and secondary sources to give the
study the credence it deserves.
Instrument for Data Collection : The major instrument used in collecting primary data is the questionnaire.
The structured questionnaire comprised of two sections. Section A deals with issues bordering on the bio data
of the respondents while section B deals with issues bordering on the main data for the study’
Validity and Reliability of the Instrument : The instrument was adequately validated in the areas of the
content, face and construct components while the reliability was ensured using the test and re-test method. 35
copies of the questionnaire representing 12 percent of the total number of the questionnaire were distributed for
the respondents within the space of one week. Below is the table showing the figures and the reliability figures
obtained..

A total of 269 questionnaires was returned at 94% and 17 questionnaires was not returned at 6%. The table
shows that there is a high response on the questionnaires as seen in the ones returned, this means that there will
be high reliability. Hence the total number of both returned and unreturned questionnaires is 287 at 100%.
Data Analysis of the Study : The data collected on the personal information relating to the respondents were
collected and analyzed as follows:

Here the number of male respondents is 172 at 64 % and the number of female respondents is 97 at 36%.
Therefore, the total number of both male and female respondents is 269. This implies that we have more males
in the study than females and this is expected to influence the results of the study either positively or negatively.

The respondents who are below 25 years are 73 at 28%, while those between 26-45 years are 112 at 42% and
those above 45 years are 81 at 30% thus the total number of their age frequency is 269. Majority of the
respondents are within the working age and this is expected to have positive influence on the study because
people who are younger tend to work harder than those that are older.

In considering the respondent’s marital status, 66 of the respondents are single, 175 of them are married while
28 respondents did not identify themselves as either married or single. The total frequency is 269.
The respondents that are married are more in number and so it is expected that majority of the respondents are
responsible and would give valid responses

The respondents who have O’level is 20 at 7%, those who work with either OND or NCE are 51 at 19% and
those who work with either B.Sc. or HND are 118 at 44% while those with M.Sc. and above are 80 at 30%.
Hence, the total frequency is 269. Majority of the executives are highly qualified academically. Even the other
respondents all possess academic qualifications to make give sound responses.

From the respondent’s experience, it was noticed that respondents who are below 10 at 91% responded, those
between 11years and 20years who responded are 106 at 39% while those who have 21 years and above
experience that responded are 72 at 27% and the total is 269. The above table shows that people that highly
experienced are more in number than those that are less experienced and as a result, the information to be
received from them are likely to be highly reliable.
Testing the Hypotheses of the Study : The hypotheses of the study were tested using chi-square statistic using
Statistical Package for Social Sciences (Version 20) and the results are seen below:

The above table is the table showing the results of the observed frequencies, the expected frequencies, the
difference between the two. The essence of the table is to ascertain whether the suspected relationship between
the independent and dependent variables actually exist and if it exists at what extent does it exist. The result
above shows that the relationship is significantly positive and recommendable.
IX. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
The results of the test of hypotheses one and hypotheses two shows that the relationship between the two
independent and dependent variables of the study. The results are positive and significant showing that the
relationships are recommendable and encouraging. The first independent variable of the study is behavioral
competency while its dependent variable is customer loyalty. Behavior is a very important variable when the
concept of competency is concerned. Behavior is attitudinal and a saying goes thus: ‘Attitude is everything ‘.
The author describes that whatever one does depends on the type of attitude the person possesses. This is in line
with what psychologists believed from many of their studies that human beings act according to their behavior.
For instance, in the classroom, there are basically two types of behaviors exhibited by students. One is the
extrovert and the other is the introvert. The extrovert exhibits the extrovert’s behavior while the introvert
exhibits the introvert’s behavior. In another environment especially in the organizations, the two major
behaviors also come to play. Extrovert employees tend to mix more freely with customers than the introverts.
The managers are therefore advised to realize this fact and provide each of the two major behaviors and even

minor ones opportunity where they will make use of their behaviors to encourage and handle positively the
customers so as to increase organizational loyalty. This has been found by the present study and it is in line with
many studies in the literature. The second independent variable- technical competence (TC) and Quality of
Products (QP) have also found to be significantly related to each other positively. Technical competency
ordinarily is indispensable in the performance of employees especially in the area of the quality of products. A
saying goes that ‘Nobody gives what he does not have’. In other words, it implies that one cannot be talking of
quality of products when he does not have the required technical competence. For instance, in a factory where
cars are produced, the organization is expected to employ those that possess the required technical competences
that are vital in such organizations. In organizations where technical competence is given a priority especially
before employment, such organizations produce high quality products but the opposite is the case where the
organization employs workers for the fun of it without firstly ensuring that such workers are technically
competent. The implication of this trend to the managers is to ensure that they ensure that intending workers are
technically competent through a structured questionnaire and practical performance to ensure that they will be
the right people for the jobs.
X. CONCLUSION
This paper identifies the fact that competences are vital for performance.in organizations but unfortunately many
organizations especially in the private sectors ignore this issue possibly due to ignorance or absolute neglect due
to the involvements financially, managerially and materially. This has been seen as a major problem in
developing nations where Nigeria belongs. This is because private organizations constitute a great percentage in
the economic development of nations. In view of this much needed contribution of the private sector in the
growth and development of the Nigerian economy especially in this technical recession period, this paper
critically evaluated the extent at which competency is managed in the private sectors of the Nigerian economy
with emphasis on the food and beverage firms in Enugu. The result revealed that significant relationships exist
among the investigated variables and as such the management of the firms needs to ensure that the independent
variables are adequately managed so that the needed regular improvement in the dependent variable will be
assured and sustained.
Recommendations
Based on the conclusions drawn above, the following recommendations become imperative.
a. That the management of private organizations especially in the food and beverage firms of Enugu State
needed to be conscious of the fact that their subsector is a sensitive one and as such should exercise caution
when employing workers in their organizations.
b. That they should achieve the above aim by making sure that they apply competency modeling before and
during the process of employment of the workers
c. That behavioral competencies closely influence customer loyalty positively and as such they need to make
sure that the employ the workers that possess the needed behavioral competencies.
d. That technical competency significantly and positively influenced the quality of products of the food and
beverage firms in Enugu State and as such the management of such organizations needs to stimulate
processes that will make sure that technical competencies are always assured prior to employment and
selection process so that the workers with the right competencies would be employed. This is because the
results of the study show that technical competencies influenced positively the quality of the products of
such organizations.
