In the context of dynamic changes caused by globalization and technological progress, competency management is becoming a key element of organizational strategies. This study aimed to diagnose the concepts and approaches of researchers in the field of competency management, especially about construction companies in the Piła region. The main study was conducted using the survey method. The literature and survey results were analyzed to identify approaches to competency management and their effectiveness in implementing the strategies of enterprises. The research revealed that only 36% of the surveyed enterprises actively support the development of competencies, and 52% use strategic human resources management. Only 28% of these organizations use effective intellectual capital management systems. Obstacles in the implementation of competency management systems result from insufficient investments and the lack of an organized approach to the development of human resources. The need to create an environment conducive to learning and to better adapt the strategy to changing market needs was indicated. The research results confirm the importance of competency management as a key factor in motivating employees and improving the effectiveness of organizations in the construction industry. They also point to the need to intensify activities in the field of competence development, which may contribute to building a competitive advantage in the market.
