R C Sharma 2 Abstract Every organization should have well defined roles and responsibilities as well as list of competencies that are required to perform each role efficiently and effectively. Such list of competencies should be used for performance management, recruitment, promotions, training needs identification, placements etc. In performing a task, it is necessary that the required job skills first be articulated. This information helps to identify individuals who have the matching skills for doing the work and also the skills that will enhance the successful performance of the task. In order to perform well, it is not enough just to have these skills, it is also essential to balance the skills with the necessary knowledge and attitudes. The intent of this research paper is to explain the concept of competency mapping and its impact on Human Resource practices. 1 Assistant professor, Amity Business School (ABS) , Amity University Haryana, Gurgaon India 2 Professor Emeritus, Amity Business School (ABS), Amity University Haryana (AUH), Advisor to Addl.
