Abstract

Competency models describe desired behaviours, skills, and attributes to facilitate organisational goals' achievement. The primary focus of a competency model is to align individual behaviours to organisationally expected behaviours. Given that employees’ ethical behaviour has become the sine qua non for organisations, it is surprising to see the absence of ethical competency in organisations’ competency models. Based on two separate studies with the heads of HR in Indian and South-East Asian organisations, the present study identified three core reasons for the absence of ethics in competency models (i.e., ideation, conceptualisation, and implementation challenges). Also, the study proposes a framework for fostering ethical behaviour amongst employees. Implications of the research for theory and practice are discussed.

胜任力模型中的伦理:在组织中发展伦理行为的框架
胜任力模型描述了促进组织目标实现所需的行为、技能和属性。能力模型的主要焦点是使个人行为与组织期望的行为保持一致。鉴于员工的道德行为已成为组织的必要条件,在组织的能力模型中缺乏道德能力是令人惊讶的。基于对印度和东南亚组织人力资源主管的两项独立研究,本研究确定了能力模型中缺乏道德的三个核心原因(即,构思、概念化和实施挑战)。此外,该研究还提出了一个促进员工道德行为的框架。讨论了本研究的理论意义和实践意义。

期刊介绍: IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.
