Theoretical framework: Competency mapping is the technique of figuring out key abilities for a company or manner and incorporating those capabilities into diverse approaches such as technique evaluation, schooling, and organizational recruitment. Over the years, highly professional and knowledge based jobs are growing, whilst low-professional jobs are cutting (Mathur & Rawat, 2020). This calls for future skill mapping by proper human resource management initiatives. Methodology: Primary data is used for the study. However secondary data has also been used. Data on employee competence have been accrued from organization information, private interactions with employees, their supervisors, colleagues and employees of different departments. For this motive, several parameters of attributes, capabilities and expertise were compiled in accordance with HR suggestions and process roles that have been authorized by using HRIS of HR department. Later we have performed some statistical analysis by various statistical tools. Findings: In our study, we have found that attributes, skills and knowledge which are related to competency mapping can be increased by Human Resource Information System if it is properly managed.","PeriodicalId":46518,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF INFORMATION & OPTIMIZATION SCIENCES","volume":"43 1","pages":"1885 - 1899"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43402702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
