TOWARDS KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY: DEMAND OF EMPLOYEE’S KEY COMPETENCES IN AN ORGANIZATION

Summary/Abstract: Competence means a complex action system which takes in knowledge, knowledge abilities, strategies, as well as emotions and attitudes in an effective governance of the competences (Weinart, 2001). Modern social life appeals not by traditions, but by changeable, creatable and renewed reflective knowledge. All social actions are analyzed all the time and modified by information and knowledge we get. There’s a question, which knowledge is necessary in an organization and which is even harmful. Competence is the ability to meet a complex demand successfully or to carry out a complex activity or task (DeSeCo Symposium – Discussion Paper, 2002). The problem is defining and selecting the key competences which draw into power relations, political decisions, national cultures or practical considerations. The relationship between the individual and society is dialectic and dynamic, as is also the content of competence, which creates the most important value. The main questions in the article, which is part of the doctoral thesis, are: what could I define as a competence, key competence for an individual, and how do employees evaluate their competences in aspects of technology, diversity, responsibility, community relations and motivation?
