Expertise based skills management system to support resource allocation

Skills Management is an essential concept of human resource management in which a skill inventory may be created for each employee and managers can assign tasks to workers based on worker’s abilities. This concept is not fully practiced for two reasons: i) employee’s skills are not effectively evaluated and documented, ii) tool support is deficient to manage this complex task. Ineffective skill management of an organization fizzle tasks assigned to the incompetent employees and this may lead to project failure. To fill up this gap, a survey is conducted across various software organizations to find out the best practices for the skill management and to gather requirements for skills management framework. Based on survey findings, a mathematical framework is proposed that calculates the soft and hard skills of employees automatically based on time and achievements as skill increases or decreases over time. In this framework, the Skills Calculation Engine (SCE) is developed for the managers to enhance the capacity of appropriate decisions making in assigning tasks to the rightly skilled workers. This framework is also useful for organizations as it can increase profitability as tasks are assigned to the most appropriate employees. The SCE is implemented as a Windows-based application to calculate skills, store skills in skills inventory, and assign tasks based on an employee’s skills. The skills management tool is evaluated in a facilitated workshop; furthermore, a feature-wise comparison of the tool is also made with existing tools.

“Impact of technology on different leadership styles to support distanced working: A study of India's service sector with reference to Delhi / NCR area”

Indian service sector has witnessed the growth of technology at unprecedented pace that has impacted the creation and development of remote working environment. This changing organizational environment and market demands require an alignment between technology and leadership. In this context the current study aims to find the impact of technology on different leadership styles to support distanced working, particularly, after the spread of the global pandemic. For this, 328 respondents working in service sector of Delhi &NCR were surveyedthrough structured questionnaire. Findings of the study revealed that technology has an influence on different leadership styles in supporting distanced working by providing clear communication, skill management, participation, or guiding work behavior. Additionally, technology plays significant role of enabling distanced working through contribution of technology in supporting communication and mobility, determination of technology task-fit, or creating of sense of unity. Thus, using the practices like cloud based internal communication portal or the reward and recognition facility, the benefit of technology could be derivedandbusiness continuity.

Is organizational skill a will or a way to a successful lifestyle and workstyle?

Organizational skill is a transversal competence, which is formed through concrete life experiences. On the labour market, organizations want high-performing employees with developed organizational skills.

Finally, the study offers possible school management strategies for training and developing organizational skills, leading to a successful lifestyle and work.

Management of Skills Programs to Improve the Competencies of Graduates of Learning Citizens

This study aims to determine the pattern of skill management at the Community Learning Activity Center in increasing the competence of graduate learning citizens so that the results of this study are expected to be a reference for the community in an effort to improve the quality of human resources who are competing for people who have not completed formal education up to the school level. Senior High (SMA). This study uses qualitative methods to explore individual behavior in groups and understand the meaning of social problems. The data collection technique was carried out by the method of observation and semistructured interviews on research subjects consisting of PKBM managers, PKBM tutors, and PKBM learning citizens. The data analysis technique used the miles and Huberman model. The results showed: the management of the skills program at PKBM Aykos Nusa Ilmu was carried out by planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating stages. With the achievement level of competency skills, 80% of graduates meet competency standards, and as many as 20% of graduates show abilities in skills that exceed graduate competency standards.

Learning from Ecology: a Systemic Skill Management Approach for the Innovation Economy

«Digital and non-cognitive skills are becoming increasingly necessary to seize emerging job opportunities». In the Industry 4.0 era, that can conveniently be redefined in a broader approach as Innovation Economy, beside the technological issues the international community has recognized that People and Processes must be developed as well. Artificial Intelligence is quite mature - not banished anymore in research laboratories, but embedded in most application used from billions of people - and more and more jobs will be completely transformed by automation. So the skill management challange is becoming even more crucial and cannot be faced at a private/local level anymore: an ecosystemic approach is needed. Ecology metaphores and lessons are easy to understand and to apply to other knowledge areas, that's why we can try to derive a new paradigm from that to draw a new skill management systemic approach.

Examining Fresh Graduates’ Perception of Employability in the Information Technology Industry in Vietnam

The purpose of this paper is to explore the perception of Information Technology (IT) fresh graduates on employability in Vietnam. The research is based on primary data from responses in in-depth interviews from 10 fresh graduates working in the IT industry for at least 3 months. A generic qualitative approach and the employability framework of Hillage & Pollard guide this research. Interview protocol is also provided for semi-structured interviews. The findings show a strong awareness of employability among fresh graduates in terms of the assets they own like knowledge, skill, attitudes; deployment; presentation; and context of the labor market. However, the findings also point out a huge area of knowledge and soft skills which need improvement to enhance graduates’ employability. They are advanced IT knowledge, cross-sector knowledge, and a lot of soft skills such as presentation skill, communication skill, management skill, problem solving skill, logical and critical thinking skill, self-study skill, information search-skill, asking question skill, foreign language skill, and adaptation skill. The study provides valuable implications to employers, educators and new young employees in fresh graduates’ employability enhancement by pointing out weak areas for improvement.

The Correlation between Generic Skills and Metacognitive Skills of Biology Education Students in Tasikmalaya Indonesia Through Problem-Based Learning Model

This research was conducted to investigate the correlation between generic skill with metacognitive skills through Problem-Based Learning model. This is a correlational research studying the correlation of the five indicators of generic skills, namely thinking skill, problem-solving skill, leadership skill, management skill with cooperative skill, and metacognitive skills through problem-based learning model. The population of this research was the biology students taking animal structure course at the teacher training and education faculty of the Siliwangi University Tasikmalaya Indonesia; the sample consisted of 30 students. Multiple linear regressions were used to reveal the correlation regression equation between students’ generic skills and metacognitive skills. There is a strong correlation (R= 0.742; R2 = 0,551) between generic skills and metacognitive skills in learning to implement problem-based learning model; so the contribution of generic skills on metacognitive skill is 55.1%. Among the five indicators of generic skills having a significant simultaneous contribution on metacognitive skills, only the thinking skill and the management skill having bigger contribution, The effective contributions (EC) of management skill and thinking skill are 33,1% and 21,3% respectively. Generic skills and metacognitive skills should be explicitly included in every learning objective, so that various skills needed by the students in the future can be trained and developed as early as possible.
