Despite the availability of the human performance technology (HPT) competency standards, the degree to which practitioners within HPT practice the standards has not been the subject of significant empirical research. The present study examines whether the International Society for Performance Improvement HPT standards accurately describe the threshold of competency within HPT and the degree to which practitioners apply and utilize the competency standards.
