The present investigation provides a reanalysis of the employment interview for entry-level jobs that overcomes several limitations J. E. Hunter and R. F. Hunter's (1984) article. Using relatively sophisticated multidimensional framework classifying level structure, authors obtained results from meta-analysis 114 validity coefficients suggesting (a) structure is major moderator validity; (b) interviews, particularly when structured, can reach levels are comparable to those mental ability...

Because measures of person-organization (P-O) fit are accountable to the same psychometric and legal standards used for other employment tests when they personnel decision making, authors assessed criterion-related validity P-O as a predictor job performance turnover.

The present study sought to empirically identify what factors are important for international assignee perceived success along with their relative importance. Subjects were 338 assignees from diverse countries (nationality) and organizations, assigned countries, performing jobs. Five identified in a descending order of importance, these Family Situation, Flexibility/Adaptability, Job Knowledge Motivation, Relational Skills, Extra‐Cultural Openness. Although importance ratings not influenced...

We used meta‐analytic procedures to investigate the criterion‐related validity of assessment center dimension ratings. By focusing on dimension‐level information, we were able assess extent which specific constructs account for centers. From a total 34 articles that reported validities, collapsed 168 labels into an overriding set 6 dimensions: (a) consideration/awareness others, (b) communication, (c) drive, (d) influencing (e) organizing and planning, (f) problem solving. Based this...

This study examined the relationship between similarity and accuracy of team mental models compared extent to which each predicted performance. The ability composition was also investigated. Eighty-three dyadic teams worked on a complex skill task in 2-week training protocol. Results indicated that although were significantly related, stronger predictor In addition, more strongly related than partially mediated performance, but did not.

The Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices Test (APM) is a popular measure of higher order general cognitive ability (g). Its use in both basic research and applied settings partially attributable to its apparent low level culture loading. However, major drawback curtailing more widespread length; the APM 36-item power test with an administration time 40-60 minutes. present study reports on development 12-item short form that demonstrates psychometric properties similar long form, but...

This article describes the development of a new technique for identifying outlier coefficients in meta-analytic data sets. Denoted as sample-adjusted deviancy statistic or SAMD, this takes into account sample size on which each study is based when determining status. An empirical test SAMD with an actual set resulted substantial reduction residual variabilities and corresponding increase percentage variance accounted by statistical artifacts after removal coefficients. Moreover, these helped...

The authors highlight the importance and discuss criticality of distinguishing between constructs methods when comparing predictors. They note that comparisons in comparative evaluations predictors result outcomes are theoretically to conceptually uninterpretable thus potentially misleading. theoretical practical implications distinction predictor discussed, with three important streams personnel psychology research being used frame this discussion. Researchers, editors, reviewers,...

The purpose of this study was to examine the viability knowledge structures as an operationalization learning in context a task that required high degree skill. Over course 3 days, 86 men participated 9 training sessions and learned complex video game. At end acquisition, participants' were assessed. After 4-day nonpractice interval, trainees completed tests skill retention transfer. Findings indicated similarity trainees' expert structure correlated with acquisition predictive However,...

Abstract Previous attempts to summarize the vehicular accident involvement literature have been nonquantitative. Outcomes of these reviews also reflected equivocality research in this area. In an attempt synthesize diverse findings into a collective result, meta-analysis procedure that con- trolled for sampling error was used. Four classes variables were identified as predictors involvement. These information- processing, cognitive ability, personality, and demographic/biographical vari-...

The use of unproctored internet‐based testing (UIT) for employee selection is quite widespread. Although this mode has advantages over onsite testing, researchers and practitioners continue to be concerned about potential malfeasance (e.g., cheating response distortion) under high‐stakes conditions. Therefore, the primary objective present study was investigate magnitude extent high‐ low‐stakes retest effects on scores a UIT speeded cognitive ability test two personality measures. These data...

The after-action review (AAR; also known as the after-event or debriefing) is an approach to training based on a of trainees' performance recently completed tasks events. Used by military for decades, nonmilitary organizations' use AARs has increased dramatically in recent years. Despite prevalence AARs, empirical research investigating their effectiveness been limited. This study sought investigate comparative objective (reviews recording and playback performance) subjective subjective,...

Although safety climate research has increased in recent years, persisting conceptual ambiguity not only raises questions about what really is—as operationalized the literature—but also inhibits scientific understanding of construct. Consequently, using theory and as a basis, we inductively articulated climate’s general content domain by identifying seven core indicators safety’s perceived workplace priority: leader commitment, communication, training, coworker practices, equipment...

We tested a dyadic training protocol derived from cognitive and social theories of complex skill acquisition. Forty undergraduates practiced Space Fortress, video game-like research tool, for 10 sessions eight practice two test games. Half them alone; the others had identical tests but practice, in which they controlled part each while being interlocked with partner who rest. Subjects both parts their connections by alternating roles modeling partners. Trainer time resources were half group,...

This paper presents initial information on the development and validation of three team task analysis scales. These scales were designed to quantitatively assess extent which a group tasks or job is based. During 2-week period, 52 male students working in 4-person teams trained perform complex highly interdependent computer-simulated combat mission consisting both individual- team-based tasks. Our results indicated that demonstrated high levels interrater agreement. In addition,...

Self-report measures are characterized as being susceptible to threats associated with deliberate dissimulation or response distortion (i.e., social desirability responding) and careless responding. Careless responding typically arises in low-stakes settings (e.g., participating a study for course credit) where some respondents not motivated respond conscientious manner the items. In contrast, high-stakes assessments prehire assessments), because of outcomes their responses, present...
