Grassroots Commanding Officer Competency Model Construction Based on the Needs of Career Development

Abstract

Based on the analysis competency literature and the investigation of the troops, the questionnaire survey method was used to collect and sort the data, and the elements of the competency model were determined by combining factor analysis and correlation analysis. The interviewing method was used to convert the competency characteristics of the grassroots command officer into specific behaviors, which improves the operability and reliability of the model. The research result shows that the grassroots commanding officer's competency model includes four dimensions: professional quality, leadership traits, basic ability, and personality characteristics. This model can be used to improve the performance evaluation system for grassroots commanding officers, and to achieve a reasonable balance between personnel and posts.
