REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

I. RELATED LITERATURE

According to TESDA, those competencies are specific combination of

knowledge, skills and abilities that an individual develops while actually carrying

out a work. It involves a person’s personality qualities, such as their work ethic,

motivations, traits, abilities, components of their self-image or social role, or a

body of knowledge applied to a particular task. (TESDA Competency Standards,

2013))

International Labour Organization, 2002 also stated that competency can

also be monitored and evaluate. Hence, Competency is therefore more than just

the sum of one’s knowledge, talents, and work ethics; it is also a dynamic idea of

putting action into one practice. Specifically, competency refers to achieving a

learning outcomes goal within a defined necessity. The substance of the

competencies in education and training must first be studied so that the items

and standards for the measurement competencies can be defining order to

effectively accomplish the aims of automotive technology training.

Competency is defined as a person’s ability to act and to do a certain legal

and trustworthy aspect of a job that is attested by a document as a proof.

(Purkelis, 2009). Additionally, Teodorescu (2006) discusses the importance of

competencies in carrying out particular jobs as being very important in securing a

good job. Competencies are particular personal quality that is usually related to

effective and good performance, are typical across many settings and situation,

and last for a while. He concludes by defining the context of competencies in the

workplace as a combination of cognitive skills, personal or behavioural traits that

are a function of a person’s personality.

The study on competency models by Delamare Le Deist and Winterson

(2005) emphasizes that competencies are specific in nature and that there are

functional or jobs-related skills with underlying behavioral competencies in

relation to these that have already been suggested. The competency domains in

these models are divided into competency groups, which are then further

divivded into sub-competencies.

According to TESDA (2004), the fundamental skills are intended to

promote workplace communication, teamwork, professionalism, and—most

importantly—occupational safety practices in auto repair shops. According to

Kukla (2016) in his research titled "Effective Workplace Communication," when a

company upholds effective communication, it shows an investment in the

workforce, boosts self-motivation, and gives employees more freedom to express

themselves to feel a part of the company's success. The message is crystal clear

to the workforce when the vision, goals, and expectations are known to them:

they are a part of something greater, their efforts are appreciated, and they are

respected.
 Additionally Leonard (2018) stated that teamwork in the workplace,

modern business leaders know that teamwork is essential to the success of any

business. The time when employees could isolate themselves in their cubicles

and work independently and still make a firm successful is long gone. What does

teamwork mean in the workplace? The majority of the time, when people think of

teams, they think of competitive sports. The ideal way to define collaboration in

business is as a collection of people cooperating to achieve a major objective.

The success of the team depends heavily on the leader's involvement in team

development and management.

Based on Anderson and Bolt (2016), the Professionalism skills for

workplace success professionalism, fourth Edition prepares students for their first

professional job, providing career planning tools, expected behaviour’s, and soft

skills essential for career success. Students can quickly apply concepts and

materials learned in class to a workplace setting thanks to the abundance of

exercises and activities. The emphasis is consistently placed on the three

foundations of professional success: career planning, workplace skills, and life

planning. Making a life plan helps students integrate their personal, professional,

and financial goals and comprehend how they ultimately influence job success

that meets both immediate and long-term financial, professional, and personal

objectives. In order to survive in the demanding, competitive, and uncertain

workplace of today, attitude, communication, and human relations skills will be

developed by students with a primary focus on emphasis on soft skills and

expected workplace behaviours’; and are provided detailed career planning tools
that focus on job search strategies, résumé package development, and interview

techniques.
