In the today's scenario, "Skill and Competency" are the main drivers of an organization's efficiency, effectiveness and performance at large. With increased significance to quality, operational efficiency and effectiveness, cost-reduction, high performance norms and managing with fewer and diversified employees than before by corporate, brings competency as the most important measure for all Human Resource related practices, decisions, initiatives and developmental aspects of an organization. Competency is a need of the hour for any sector aiming at refurbishing themselves to the current contemporary and competitive environment. Competency approach encourages employees to develop and enhance their competencies. The process of mapping the competencies of employee/employees is known as Competency mapping. Competency Mapping helps in knowing where an individual stands with respect to his skill sets i.e. his actual skills, expected skills and the skill gaps (Competency gaps). The present study aims at studying and analyzing the employee competencies of Training and Development Department of a typical manufacturing company in Mysuru, analyzing their expected skills and the actual skills, mapping them, identifying the competency gaps, analyzing the gaps to suggest necessary measures to reduce/bridge the competency gaps in employees.

Method: The sample size was determined using a statistical method and 325 questionnaires were distributed, 316 valid responses were obtained from selected HEI. The stratified random sampling procedure was adopted. The key factors that affect the SQ were determined using EFA and CFA. Further, relevant hypotheses were formulated to know the interrelationship between factors that influences SQ of HEI. An attempt is made to develop the linear regression equation to estimate the Service Quality Score (SQC) of selected HEI based on factors confirmed by second-order CFA. Findings: The key factors that affect the SQ of the HEI were determined using EFA and CFA and such factors were labelled as Institutional assurance, Academic and support services, Empathy of staff, Responsiveness and Addon Provisions. Further, the estimation of Service Quality Score (SQC) using the above factors is obtained using a logical regression model and the service quality level of selected HEI is found to be 0.8285 i.e., 82.85%. The study identifies the scope for continual improvement of factors that influence the SQ, more specifically the Academic and support services. The results of the present research are limited to the selected HEI and need to be validated for other courses and HEIs. Novelty: The SERQUAL factors were considered but confirmation, revision and addition of factors are done using EFA followed by Second-order CFA. The results are more authenticated and help administer and to improve the service quality level of HEI.
