PENALOZA, Mónica  and  AREVALO, Freddy. Evaluation of Competence and Estimation of Potential in Western Electric Companies. Revista de Ciencias Sociales [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.1, pp.116-133. ISSN 1315-9518.

The objective of this research was to evaluate competence levels and potentials on three time scales, always, occasionally and never. The instrument was submitted to a process of validation, content confidence and internal structure. The conclusion was that there is a need to apply evaluation instruments and estimate potential that give direction to labor competence. The need level was established at 89% which indicates the urgency in constantly diagnosing and evaluating new demands in the environment, not only for the present time, but as a projection for future actions. The creation of a competence evaluation instrument and estimation of potential is recommended, and should be submitted to consideration by electric power production plants in the west and applied.

Keywords : Labor competence; psychological competence; operatives; administration; security; estimation of potential.
