Abstract

Our society as well as government tries to escape an academic background-oriented society where individuals' competencies are evaluated by their academic background or specs, and then to establish a competency-oriented society which could provide fair opportunities and where individuals could perform their competencies. There is, however, a limitation that the concept of a competency-oriented society is ambiguous. Thus, the objectives of this study are to establish the concept of a competency-oriented society and to extract its components. To achieve those aims, preceding studies were analyzed, the concept of a competency-oriented society and its components based on the theory ‘Social Quality’ in sociological dimension to overcome the limitation of preceding studies were extracted, and the appropriacy and validity of the concept of a competency-oriented society and its components were surveyed and prioritized using a Delphi method. As a result, the concept of a competency-oriented society is defined as “the society of being able to perform one's competencies without discrimination by offering fair opportunities to develop competencies for everyone and implementing competency-based hiring, VET, personnel management practices, etc. by constructing national system recognizing one's competencies with utilizing comprehensively various components without limiting specific components such as educational background and academic ability, etc. Also, The components of a competency-oriented society are identified based on the theory “Social Quality” in four dimensions: socioeconomic security, social cohesion, social inclusion, and social empowerment and 10 sub-components are extracted using a Delphi survey in three rounds. The 10 sub-components were prioritized by AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) analytic technique, three of which are ‘diversification of competency accreditation’, ‘solving and prevention social discrimination’, and ‘providing systematic career guidance services’ in priority order. Based on those results, the functions and roles of a competency-oriented society are proposed.
