ABSTRACTMadurai is popularly known as “temple city”, in recognition of its spiritual commitment. In fact hotels have been known to run 24 hours round the clock in a city like Madurai. Everywhere, there is competition. Customer retention and attracting potential customers are equally important for every business including Hotel Industry. Nowadays, competency mapping is also emerging in maximizing the involvement, implementation of managerial decisions in an efficient manner. The study aims in identifying the deficiencies in required competencies and providing suitable suggestions to enhance the same. The period of study ranged for three years starting from August 2011 to August 2014. The area of the study is hotels in Madurai city. The sample size is 500, which would be the product of 25 employees selected from the 20 hotels in Madurai. Multistage sampling has been adopted. The analysis tools used are Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test & Friedman test. A suitable model has also been framed by the authors. The authors feel that this study would be of ample use for the Hotel Industry towards developing the competencies of their employees.

MADURAI1) INTRODUCTION
All organizations are talking about competencies. Some have truly worked the concept
into several of their processes. A few have a fully implemented competency modeling and
reporting system in place. However, quite a few organizations are still striving to build a
competency model and implement it. Most organizations of all sizes are still struggling with
defining, designing and implementing competency model projects.
2) REVIEW OF LITERATUREHarvard psychologist David McClelland (1970) first suggested the importance of testing
for competence rather than intelligence. Subsequently, competency models have been used
worldwide to establish the building blocks of superior performance in many professional and
technical academic, organizational, and manufacturing endeavors.
Spencer and Spencer (1993) viewed competency as “an underlying characteristic of an
individual that is causally related to criterion-referenced effective and/or superior performance in
a job or situation” (p. 9). They identified five types of competency characteristics consisting of
motives, traits, self-concept, knowledge and skills. First, motives are the things that an individual
consistently thinks about or wants that stimulate action. Motives drive, direct and select behavior
toward certain actions or goals and away from others. Second, traits are physical characteristics
and consistent responses to situations or information. Third, self-concept is an individual’s
attitudes, values or self-image. Fourth, knowledge is the information that an individual has in
specific content areas. Finally, skill is the ability to perform a certain physical or mental task.
Knowledge and skill competencies tend to be visible and relatively surface characteristics,
whereas self-concept, traits and motive competencies are more hidden, deeper and central to
personality. Surface knowledge and skill competencies are relatively easy to develop and
training is the most cost-effective way to secure those employee abilities (Spencer & Spencer,
1993).
Mr.K.Rajesh Kumar & Dr.M.Sivakumar (2013) affirmed the Competencies expected from
Hotel employees in Madurai City. Customer expectations play a significant role in the
development of any business. Expectations are used to form opinions with respect to the likely
performance of a product or service. Hotels are also expanding year by year in terms of
employees and units. Similarly, problems are also expanding. The primary reason is lack of

competencies among employees in Hotels. The research objectives of the study were to identify
the required competencies among hotel employees, to find out the level of competencies, to
identify the deviations between expected and actual competency level, to provide suitable
suggestions as to improve their competencies. A sample of 500 customers was chosen for the
study. The period of the study was two months ranging from January 2014 to February 2014.
The primary data was collected using Structured Questionnaire adopting the method of Interview
Schedule. Journals, magazines, periodicals, newspapers, books and internet support the
collection of secondary data. The data collected has been analyzed using Percentage Analysis,
Reliability Analysis, Kruskal Wallis Test & Friedman Test.
The data collected has been analyzed using Percentage Analysis, Reliability Analysis, Kruskal
Wallis Test & Friedman Test. Reliability analysis said that the instrument is reliable and can be
used with other statistical procedures for further investigation. Kruskal Wallis test proved that
judging customer’s needs & wants does influence dealing with different types of customers. It
also concluded that sound knowledge about hotel business does influence persuading customers.
Friedman test ascertained that there is an association between decision making, persuading
customers, selling hotel’s services & dealing with different types of customers.
3) HOTEL INDUSTRY IN INDIADespite global economic woes, development of hotels in India has been one of the most lucrative
investments. As per Cygnus estimates, total supply (number of hotel rooms) in India is expected
to reach more than 180,000 within five years. Various domestic and international brands have
made significant inroads into this space and more are expected to follow; around 40 international
brands will enter the country in the next five years.
The year 2013 was a mixed bag for the hospitality industry in the country. Amidst adverse
business climate in the overall economy, new hotels continued to open with alacrity across the
country throughout 2013. Yes, of course, there were delays and deferments of hotel projects.
But, supply continued to surge in all the key markets. The new supply of rooms into the market,
at a time when market demand was at a low, had put pressure on room rates, and overall
profitability of hotels. Added to this adversity was the mounting inflationary pressure,
devaluation of rupee against dollar, etc. While costs of operations were increasing on a regular
basis, revenue side continued to slide southwards.
4) COMPETENCIES EXPECTED FROM HOTEL EMPLOYEES
Based on the data collected from previous researches, we may ascertain that the following competencies are expected from Hotel employees.

5) OVERVIEW OF MADURAI CITYMadurai is popularly known as “temple city”, in recognition of its spiritual commitment.
There are a lot of tourist spots in and around Madurai, including the very famous Meenakshi
4 Mr.K.Rajesh Kumar & Dr.M.Sivakumar
COMPETENCY MAPPING IN HOTELS WITH REFERENCE TO MADURAI
Amman temple, which adds many more glory and pride to this temple city. This leads in
attracting more tourists both from within India and outside India as well. Hence, hotels are
always busy rendering to the needs of the tourists. In fact hotels have been known to run 24
hours round the clock in a city like Madurai. There are certain areas in Madurai that
accommodate hotels which are even busy during 01:00 PM to 04:00 PM in the night. Changing
and unrelenting economic, social and technological changes have spurred the need for flexible,
skilled workers who can help their organizations and sustain a competitive advantage. To be
relevant within organizations and indispensable to clients and tourists alike, workplace learning
and performance professionals must continually reassess their competencies, update their skills
and have the courage to make necessary changes. Hotels and managing hotels have and will
always be complex. There is no denying the need to perform through a combination of utilizing
predictive or forecasting tools, techniques or methods, yet without trivializing the need to sustain
and drive a motivated high performing workforce. Every hotel’s needed to sustain in a
competitive environment, gave rise to the need to understand and learn to establish the context of
competency mapping.
6) STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Everywhere, there is competition. Customer retention and attracting potential customers
are equally important for every business including Hotel Industry. There are numerous strategies
adopted by different hotels. Nowadays, competency mapping is also emerging in maximizing the
involvement, implementation of managerial decisions in an efficient manner. But, there are
numerous constraints in implementing competency mapping at various levels in Hotel Industry,
like structural problems, quality of work force, turnover, tailor made strategies etc. It is essential
to galvanism the performance of various employees towards achieving the organizational goals
or objectives. Hotel employees require a set of abilities and performance traits for superior
performance to score over competitors. It is difficult to access those elements without doing a
research.
The above mentioned areas create an opportunity for the researcher to make an in depth
analysis by covering all the dimensions of competencies of hotel employees including –
Identification of competencies of hotel employees
Assessment of competencies and application of inter relation of competencies with other
HR practices like recruitment, training & development, performance management, career
planning, reward system & job redesign

COMPETENCY MAPPING IN HOTELS WITH REFERENCE TO MADURAI
Developing a competency model for the organization
7) OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To identify the competencies available among hotel employees
To study the importance of competency mapping in Hotel Industry
To understand the inter relation among competencies and organisational practices
To ascertain the level of deficiency in competencies.
To suggest various measures to overcome the deficiencies in competencies.
8) RESEARCH METHODOLOGYDescriptive research method is the one to be employed here. The period of study ranged
for three years starting from August 2011 to August 2014. The area of the study is hotels in
Madurai city. Hotels having more than 100 employees, with proper departmentalization,
boarding & lodging facilities are selected. The population for this research would be the total
number of employees in 20 selected hotels in Madurai. The sample size is 500, which would be
the product of 25 employees selected from the 20 hotels in Madurai. Out of 500, 29 respondents
were rejected for data analysis, as the data collected from them was incomplete. Hence, only 471
respondents got qualified for data analysis.Multi Stage Sampling has been used. This involved
segregating the entire population into different clusters. The first stage cluster involved grouping
hotels having more than 100 employees with proper departmentalization, boarding & lodging
facilities. 20 Hotels out of these was randomly selected using Simple Random Sampling. The
second stage cluster consisted of selecting 25 employees from these 20 hotels using Stratified
Sampling, who were then administered questionnaires. Thus a sample size of 500 respondents
was selected for the study.
9) RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The authors have carried out many analysis based on the data collected and the research
objectives. This report shows some of the major analysis, excluding others because of want of
space.
9.1) Mann Whitney U test
In statistics, the Mann–Whitney U test is a non-parametric test of the null hypothesis that
two populations are the same against an alternative hypothesis, especially that a particular
population tends to have larger values than the other. It has greater efficiency than the t-test on
non-normal distributions, such as a mixture of normal distributions, and it is nearly as efficient as
the t-test on normal distribution.

From the above Table No 9.1.1, it can be inferred that the mean ranks of male and female upon
sensitivity towards events are 231.59 and 270.03 respectively. This concludes that female
respondents are better in sensitivity towards events compared to male, but the number of female
respondents is only 54 compared to 417 male respondents.
From the above Table No 9.1.2, it can be deduced that the Mann-Whitney U value is 9421.500
and the corresponding significant value is .035. As the calculated significant value is less than
0.05, the alternative hypothesis can be accepted at 5% level of significance and it can be
concluded that there is an impact of Gender upon Sensitivity towards events.
9.2) Kruskal Wallis TestIn statistics, the Kruskal–Wallis one-way analysis of variance by ranks (named
after William Kruskal and W. Allen Wallis) is a non-parametric method for testing whether
samples originate from the same distribution. It is used for comparing more than two samples
that are independent, or not related. The parametric equivalent of the Kruskal-Wallis test is the
one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). When the Kruskal-Wallis test leads to significant
results, then at least one of the samples is different from the other samples. The test does not

identify where the differences occur or how many differences actually occur. It is used when we
wish to compare three or more sets of scores that come from different groups.

From the above Table No 9.2.1, it can be understood that, the mean ranks of reason for choosing
hotel industry in terms of up to aim/liking, societal compulsion, related to qualification, no other
choice towards awareness of customer’s demands and expectations are 262.20, 293.85, 203.06
and 210.86 respectively. This helps in concluding that the respondents having chosen to work in
hotel because of societal compulsion have better awareness of customer’s demands and
expectations, followed by aim/liking compared to those having chosen their job because of other
reasons. The respondents having chosen to work in hotel because of the reason that it is related to
their qualification have the least awareness of customer’s demands and expectations.

COMPETENCY MAPPING IN HOTELS WITH REFERENCE TO MADURAI
From the above Table No 9.2.2, it can be realized that the Chi-Square value is 32.103 and the
corresponding significant value is **. As the calculated significant value is less than 0.01, the
alternative hypothesis can be accepted at 1% level of significance and it can be concluded that
there is an influence of reason for choosing hotel industry over awareness of customer’s demands
and expectations.
9.3) Wilcoxon Signed Ranks TestThe Wilcoxon signed-rank test is a non-parametric statistical hypothesis test used when
comparing two related samples, matched samples, or repeated measurements on a single sample
to assess whether their population mean ranks differ (i.e. it is a paired difference test). It can be
used as an alternative to the paired Student's t-test, t-test for matched pairs, or the t-test for
dependent samples when the population cannot be assumed to be normally distributed.

From the above Table No 9.3.1, it can be originated that the number of negative ranks, positive
ranks and ties of sound knowledge towards hotel business over total experience is 40, 386 and 45
respectively. This confirms that 40 respondents have less knowledge towards hotel business, 386
respondents have more knowledge and there is a tie in case of 45 respondents when compared
with total experience.
From the above Table No 9.3.2, it can be inferred that the Z value is -16.284 and the
corresponding significant value is **. As the calculated significant value is less than 0.01, the
alternative hypothesis can be accepted at 1% level of significance and it can be concluded that
there is a significant difference between total experience and sound knowledge towards hotel
business.
9.4) Friedman Test
The Friedman test is a non-parametric statistical test developed by the U.S. economist Milton Friedman. Similar to the parametric repeated measures ANOVA, it is used to detect differences in treatments across multiple test attempts. The procedure involves ranking each row (or block) together, then considering the values of ranks by columns. Applicable to complete block designs, it is thus a special case of the Durbin test.
Hypothesis

with all types of customers are 3.07, 3.19, 2.74, 2.94 & 3.06 respectively. This helps in
ascertaining that the respondents are good in understanding customer’s feelings when compared
with other criteria chosen for the analysis. This also helps in knowing that the respondents are
lagging behind in effective communication when compared with other criteria chosen for the
analysis.
From the above Table No 9.4.2, it can be incidental that the Chi-Square value is 34.256 and the
corresponding significant value is **. As the calculated significant value is less than 0.01, the
alternative hypothesis can be accepted at 1% level of significance and it can be concluded that
there is an association between knowledge of products & services, understand customer’s
feelings, effective communication, persuading skills & dealing with all types of customers.
10) PROPOSED MODEL
Based on the literature review and the result of previous researches, the authors have proposed
the following model depicting the competencies required for hotel employees.

COMPETENCY MAPPING IN HOTELS WITH REFERENCE TO MADURAI
11) SUGGESTIONS The top management in hotels has to take appropriate steps towards identification and
development of required competencies. Orientation programs need to be provided for employees new to the organisation. Proper training programs have to be imparted at regular intervals for developing and
enhancing the competencies required. Hotel employees need to be educated towards the changing trends in Hotel Industry. Negotiation skills need to be enhanced. Male employees have to improve their skills in terms of sensitivity towards events &
listening. Organisational Citizenship Behavior needs to be improved in employees below 20 years
and above 50 years. Training program on Customer Satisfaction, understanding customer’s demands and
expectations need to be imparted. Employees need to be trained in effective communication.
12) DIRECTION FOR FURTHER RESEARCH
There seems to be always a demand for certain businesses, including Hotel business. Hotel
industry is flourishing in all directions in a service economy like India. It still remains an avenue
to serve one of the very important basic needs of mankind. Madurai has always remained as one
of the prominent tourist spots in South Tamilnadu. Madurai would be attracting many more
tourists in the future in view of its spiritual recognition. A study on Competency Mapping in
Hotels in Madurai would definitely serve to be a valuable source of information for researchers
in the future. Appropriate models of competency mapping in Hotel Industry are yet to come. All
employees are concerned in knowing their level of competency and in improving and enhancing
the required competencies. Organisations also are very keen in developing and retaining talented
manpower, which is the key for its growth and sustainability. Appropriate identification of
competencies would also help them to ascertain the pitfalls and take appropriate action.
Organisations would find competency mapping helpful in attaining their goals and objectives.
Employees can be fine tuned in the competencies that are deficient, which would be of great
benefit to the organisations. This would remain to be an area of concern, for decades and
centuries, and in fact till Hotels exists!!!. Hence, there seems to be a positive direction for further
research in this area. This would also be of some help towards appropriate research in Hospitality
sector as well.

13) CONCLUSION Still, there remains a demand for hotels in any city or town. Of course, each and every family would have visited at least one hotel of their choice in their life time. Hence, everybody is a customer for a Hotel Industry. There has been a drastic change in the life style, consumption pattern & per capita income of customers. This reflects in their demands and expectations towards hotels. Hotel employees need to identify, understand and cater to the changing demands and expectations of customers. Hence, they need a set of competencies for achieving it. The researcher hopes that this study would definitely provide a general framework for identifying and analyzing the competencies of hotel employees.
