LANDASAN TEORI
2.1 Teori Kompetensi
Menurut Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia, definisi kompeten adalah cakap; berkuasa (memutuskan, menentukan) sesuatu; berwenang. Definisi kompetensi adalah kewenangan (kekuasaan) untuk menentukan (memutuskan sesuatu). Perilaku manusia merupakan usaha untuk beradaptasi dengan lingkungan, karena dua alasan, yaitu : kebutuhan untuk menguasai lingkungan dan menjaga kelangsungan hidupnya (survival). Tanpa adanya kebutuhan yang berkembang menjadi tujuan, seseorang tidak akan memiliki energi yang mendorongnya untuk bertindak atau kehilangan motivasi hidup. Agar tetap memiliki motivasi untuk dapat bertahan dan meraih keberhasilan dalam hidup, manusia perlu mengembangkam kompetensi. Kompetensi lebih dari sekedar mengembangkan ketrampilan, tetapi juga mencakup keberhasilan mengatasi tantangan – tantangan, sukses dalam berinteraksi dengan lingkungan, mampu menyusun tujuan – tujuan, dan memandang diri sendiri sebagai orang yang cakap (mampu melakukan apa yang tidak dapat dilakukan oleh orang lain).
Beberapa hal yang berhubungan dengan perkembangan kompetensi adalah : (1) sense of control, (2) kebutuhan berprestasi dan penguasaan, dan (3) self esteem.
(1) Sense of control adalah keyakinan seseorang bahwa dirinya sendirilah yang
mengendalikan hidupnya atau peristiwa – peristiwa yang ia alami, bukan ditentukan oleh nasib / takdir, atau orang lain yang berkuasa. Sense of control ini merupakan kognisi dasar untuk mengalami optimisme dan harapan. Dengan adanya optimisme dan harapan, seseorang akan mampu terus mengembangkan kompetensi.
(2) Kebutuhan untuk berprestasi dan penguasaan merupakan dasar untuk mengembangkan pengetahuan dan ketrampilan sosial yang memungkinkan kita untuk sukses dalam
berinteraksi dengan lingkungan. Tanpa kompetensi sosial, kita akan tesingkir dan tidak mampu mencapai tujuan.
(3) Self esteem. Di dalam psikologi, self esteem sering diterjemahkan sebagai harga diri dan didefinisikan sebagai penilaian seseorang terhadap diri sendiri, baik positif maupun negatif. Mereka yang memiliki keyakinan akan kemampuan yang dimilikinya dan merasa dirinya bernilai adalah orang yang harga dirinya positif. Sebaliknya, mereka yang harga dirinya negatif akan merasa lemah, tidak berdaya. Harga diri positif cenderung membuat seseorang mengembangkan aspirasi untuk melakukan sesuatu yang belum pernah dilakukan orang lain. Harga diri merupakan pusat dari pengembangan kompetensi.
