Constructing a Core Competency Model for Entry-Level Engineers and Technicians in the LED Lighting Industry: An Analysis Based on DACUM-AMOD and Fuzzy Delphi Method

Abstract This study aims to analyze the core competencies required for entry-level engineers and technicians in the LED lighting industry, specifically in the areas of epitaxial, crystal grain, package, and lighting products. It focuses on departments such as research and development, manufacturing, and analysis. The analysis employs a modified DACUM-AMOD method and the Fuzzy Delphi Technique. The process involved 25 industry experts from listed companies in the domestic LED lighting sector and included four stages: expert meetings, DACUM-AMOD sessions, expert reviews, and fuzzy Delphi surveys. Through this process, the required competencies were identified, including 25 responsibilities, 77 tasks, and 299 competencies. Each task was classified according to the necessary education level, and each competency was rated based on entry-level strength. The findings provide a reference for talent selection, training, assessment, utilization, and future research.
