外文文献资料Competence-based Compatibilitybetween Jobs and University CurriculaLuigi Fabbris1Statistics Department, Padua University, ItalySummary：In this paper, we put forward a mathematical and statistical model for measuring the “compatibility” between jobs and university curricula based on professional competences. Our model aims at comparing work requirements and the professional counterparts achievable at school. Even if the basic concepts might be valid for the analysis of outer educational realms, the model is devoted to the analysis of highly qualified jobs, and in specific those “from technical to managerial positions” that may be taught at university. Our model is general enough, too, to frame various studies on the job market and clarify the terminological, conceptual and operational entities of occupations.Keywords: Competences; Labour market; Jobs; Professional profile; University curricula; Formative profiles; Degree Programmes; Compatibility analysis.Work activities, jobs and university curriculaThe professional competences required in global-market activities change rapidly. The changes concern the technical refinement of occupations, i.e. the ability of workers in relating with customers, dealers and colleagues, communicating internally and externally with their company, working in a team, solving problems and organising their own job and that of others. The term competences encompasses the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to applicants for work. This topic is dealt with in Section 2. In the following without loss of generality, we assume that school is where the competences, as part of a person’s personality causally related to superior job performances(Spencer Spencer, 1993), are grounded.Our relational model between work activities and competences stems from the hypothesis that the (bi-directional) links between the sites of production-reproduction of knowledge, whose edge is university, and those of economic production, represented by privat
