Abstract

This study is to define job competencies of youth leaders necessary for efficient performance of tasks and to analyze job competencies of youth leaders by developing reliable and valid tools. Before developing job competency scales for youth leaders, precedent studies were examined to analyze properties of the concept of competency. By summarizing various studies related with competency, competency was defined as 'abilities such as motivations, characteristics, knowledge, skills and attitude of individuals that are shown for relatively long time in order to accomplish jobs or tasks successfully in the environment the individuals belong and what distinguishes individuals with excellent outcome and average outcomes'. Based on the concept of job competency discussed in precedent studies, jop competency was defined as 'behaviors related with jobs and shown for relatively long time which are required for the accomplishment of tasks using knowledge, skills and attitude. 160 competencies were collected as job competencies of youth leaders through book researches, and they were analyzed with Delphi technique. 41 persons who are present professors of youth education department, executives of training facilities or youth leaders participated to deduct job competencies. The first survey was to choose from 'necessary' and 'unnecessary', and 58 competencies remained. The second Delphi test was composed of 5 steps of Likert technique which include 'do not agree at all' to 'agree very much'. The contents were analyzed with CVR values. Second Delphi test was taken by youth leaders to check if the acquired results are valid. Only 34 items with the minimum CVR value of over .62 given in average by 10 test subjects were considered to be valid. In third Delphi test, 1 item was removed to deduct 33 job competencies. For preliminary items of job competencies, interviews were carried out on cases related with behaviors or internal factors for successful accomplishment of tasks by youth leaders. 10 interviewee who are engaged in youth organizations were selected. Based on competencies selected through behavior and case interviews, job competency items for youth leaders were developed. Later total 33 job competencies and 165 items were verified of their validities through scales of 1~4 including 'very valid' as 4 points and 'not valid at all' as 1 point. The verification was performed twice with 10 person group of experts. Finally, 148 verified items were deducted. For preliminary test, 50 persons engaged in youth organization were surveyed to verify reliability. Collected surveys were analyzed using SPSS 15.0K statistics program. Cronbach's alpha index of items were over 0.9 to prove the developed scales are reliable. To confirm normality of items, basic statistics and normality analysis were performed. The result showed less than 2 skewness and less than 3 kurtosis of variables which were not far from normal. Validity of measuring tools were verified though confirmatory factor analysis. To check if the measuring tools are accurately measuring the targets, construct validity was verified. Competencies that satisfied recommendations of fidelity index of over TLI 0.9, over CFI 0.9 and under RMSEA 0.1 were motivation, self-control, respect, budget management, program evaluation, cultivation and growth of others, publicity, problem solving skills, planning and performing, voluntary task dealing, creation of activity environments, collection and management of information, attraction of attention, responsibility and self-confidence. Reliabilities of such competencies were all over .70 to show that developed job competency scales for youth leaders are reliable. The job competency scales for youth leaders suggested by this study will contribute to evaluation and improvement of youth leaders. Based on the study result of development of job competency scales for youth leaders, it is expected that guidelines for detailed required competencies for human resources training can be suggested for the development of education and training programs.
