Abstract
I conducted a study of Human Resource professionals' understanding and application of the competency of Personal Credibility in working within organizations. The competency has been identified as critical to the HR profession and is suggested to relate to Strategic HR. Over the past 20 years, the HR profession appears to be showing a schism in the values, competencies and resulting practices of Human Resource professionals. These values, competencies and resulting practices are crucial as can positively and negatively affect employees, and thus a company's performance. It is plausible to believe that any difference in competencies and underlying values, beliefs and motivations is recognizable and can be defined by one's decisions, behaviors and experiences.
