The relevance of the study is due to the need to systematize key skills and knowledge for effective scientific activity in research organizations. In this regard, this article aims to develop a competency model for scientific workers. The leading approach to the study of this problem is the method of integrating the competency model into the grading system, which allows for a comprehensive consideration of the assessment and stimulation of professional growth of employees. The article presents: a competency model for scientific employees of research organizations, including four main categories of competencies: professional, personal, interpersonal and managerial, detailed by skill level; a methodology for integrating a competency model into an automated grading system, providing an objective assessment and stimulation of professional growth; stages of creating a model, including identifying job groups, calculating a grading scale, differentiating skill levels and adapting the model based on feedback. A competency model proposed as a set of competencies, which, according to the heads of research organizations, are considered as indicators of behavior with the help of which scientists are able to effectively and efficiently perform their job duties. The materials of the article are of practical value for research organizations, contributing to effective talent management, career planning and development of training programs.
