Abstract:
This study examines the relationship between demographic characteristics and key competency components among employees in IT work environments in India. A total of 292 respondents were selected using purposive sampling to ensure balanced representation. The research investigates core, behavioural, and functional competencies in relation to demographic variables such as age, gender, educational qualification, job
experience, marital status, income, and designation. Data was gathered through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using statistical tools, including Fisher’s Exact Test and ANOVA. The findings reveal significant associations between age, marital status, work experience, level of designation, and monthly income with various competency components. ANOVA results confirm statistically significant differences in competencies across age groups, marital status, work experience levels, income brackets, and designations. However, no significant difference was found between educational qualification and competency levels. The study highlights the critical role of demographic diversity in shaping workforce competencies and emphasizes the need for tailored training
and development programs to enhance employee performance. These findings provide valuable insights for HR managers and organizational leaders to design competency-building strategies that align with employee profiles and organizational goals
