Answer 1

Difference Between Ability and Skills

• Ability is the natural strength of the person or the organization through which we can see the capability of doing any task with full quality but on the other hand skills are more like knowledge which can be created and increased by experience.
• More likely ability does not have any purpose of its existence as we know it is already present but on the other hand skills have a motive and the person or the organization acquiring them has a motive for which he has been working to get these skills.

Let's take an example of the ability and skills to better understand the difference between them.

• Organizational management has the ability to manage 300 employees on the same shift. This type of power to manage such a huge number of employees is known as the ability of organizational management but on the other hand when the same management can handle 300 employees of different locations is the skill of the organizational management as they have learned this technique of handling different locations at the same time is a skill which will improve the future and they will able to handle more locations easily.

These elements can be related to job performance in various ways. Let's discuss some of them.

• Ability and skills impact the job performance of any employee. Ability of any employee will display the actual capability of the employee in his work and skills will display how the employee is more open to learn and improve himself in his performance.
• Employee with certain ability displays through his job performance that he or she is the best for the task that he or she has been assigned to. With a good skill set an employee can improve his job performance within the organization.
