Abstract
Cluster analysis is a kind of multivariate statistical analysis method that processes the problem of quantitative classification research. It is designed to detect hidden groups or clusters in a set of objects which are described by numerical, linguistic or structural data. The concept of competency is introduced in China in the late 1990s. It gets much research achievements in the field of enterprise management. However, it is relatively less research of the governmental staff’s competency, the first literature about the research of the governmental staff’s competency was published in 2004. Through the method of cluster analysis, we get three hot spots of the governmental staff’s competency: the introduction of competency concept into the assessment of the governmental staff’s ability, the basic unit governmental staff’s competency research, and the governmental leader’s competency research, they are also the frontier areas of the research.
