Abstract
The basic assumption in Human resource management is that people remain significant to the attainment of
performance that an organisation desires. To achieve performance, it is requisite to invest in the competencies of individuals
working in the organisation. The investment entails mobilising the necessary interventions to enhance the competencies of
organisational workforce towards achieving organisational performance. While efforts have been concentrated on the studies of
interventions for enhancing the skill and knowledge which constitute an aspect of individual competency, the other areas of
competency as described by competence iceberg model has been largely unattended to. Therefore, this study presents the
review of theoretical and empirical literature of the various interventions for enhancing the competencies of employees and
organisational performance. Based on the reviewed theoretical and empirical literature, the study proposes a conceptual model
that advances knowledge on what constitutes employee’s competencies and organisational performance, and their relationship,
especially in the field of Human resource management.
