Chapter 6.3 Flashcards
what is a comprehensive staffing model?
A comprehensive staffing model gathers enough high quality information about candidates to predict the likelihood of their successes on the varied demands of the job.
what is clinical decision making
clinical decision making is a method that uses judgement to combine information and to make a decision about the relative value of different candidates or applicants.
what is statistical decision making?
statistical decision making is a method that combines information according to a mathematical formula.
what is a compensatory system.
A compensatory system is used when several tests are used. This is a model in which a good score on one test can compensate for a lower on another test.
what is a hurdle system?
A hurdle system is a non-compensatory strategy in which an individual has no opportunity to compensate at a later assessment stage for a low score.
what is a multiple hurdle system?
a multiple hurdle system means that with every test a minimum should be achieved for further consideration so no compensation is possible between tests at all.
what is a multiple regression analysis
a multiple regression analysis is a method of analysis that results in an equation for combining test scores and the correlation for each test score with the performance score.
what is cross validation?
cross validation is a process used with multiple regression techniques in which a regression equation is developed. On the first sample it is tested and on the second sample it is determined if it still fits well.
what is termination for cause?
termination for cause is job loss that occurs when an individual is fired form an organization for a particular reason. Usually this occurs after the individual has been warned one or more times about a problem which they didn’t correct.
What is a layoff?
Layoffs are job losses due to employer downsizing or reduction in force. This often comes without warning that the workforce will be reduced.
Selection strategies staffing projects
Large scale staffing projects will often require standard and well-established selection strategies. In small staffing projects managers are encouraged to choose a selection and decision making strategy that is rational and job related. Newer research suggests that selection should care more on work performance than the individual.
