Criterion Problem

Question 1

Typical Performance

Answer 1

Not aware of eval, not consciously attempting to perform at the best of your ability, monitored for extend period. Sackett et al., 1988

Question 2

Max Performance

Answer 2

Aware of eval, instructed to maximize effort, measured over short enough time to remain focused on goal of max perform. Sackett et al., 1988

Question 3

Performance

Answer 3

Campbell et al., 1993 behaviors, not the outcomes of behaviors

Question 4

Dynamic Performance

Answer 4

Changes over time are dependent on task activities, social transitions or maintenance phases Murphy 1980

Question 5

Different criteria are better for different predictors and jobs

Answer 5

Viteles 1932

Question 6

Criteria might be different b/w managers and employees

Answer 6

Bingham 1926, Vitaeles 1932

Question 7

Ultimate criterion

Answer 7

Thorndike 1949–> multidimensional conceptualization of performance

Question 8

BARS

Answer 8

Smith & Kendall 1963

Question 9

Dynamic Criteria

Answer 9

Deadrick & Madigan 1990: results supported this idea, cog ability validity increases over time, job experience increased than decreased, grp avgs changed over time, changes in CRV, changes in rank order

Question 10

Hoffman et al. 1993

Answer 10

Individual change patterns–> systematic, differences in intraindividual change (both within and b/w)

Question 11

Meyer & Gupta (1994)

Answer 11

Performance paradox: new measures corr w/existing, can lead to measures being run down over time

Question 12

5 structure using Project A

Answer 12

Campbell et al 1990

Question 13

Campbell et al 1993

Answer 13

Latent structure: Performance not effectiveness or productivity. Determinants are declarative & procedural knowledge and skills, & mot

Question 14

Murphy Shiarella 1997

Answer 14

Fully multivariate model is best–> multiple predictors and facets of criterion domain are better for study validity

Question 15

Binning Barrett 1989

Answer 15

Unified view of validity (characteristics of inferences made from a test and not the test itself); conceptual understanding of criteria

Question 16

Nathan Alexander 1988

Answer 16

Meta: ratings, quantity of production, ranking, work sample (in that order) had higher validities

Question 17

Sackett et al 1988

Answer 17

Typical vs Max, corr of .36 so different

Question 18

Barnes Morgeson 2007

Answer 18

Typical and max both ignore variability in performance. Found both were pos rlt, but perform variability was neg rlt to compensation level. Should consider this in compensation

Question 19

History of criterion problem

Answer 19

Austin Villanova 1992

Question 20

Less than 10% of variance in JP ratings is attributed to valid perform-related info

Answer 20

Viswesveran et al. (2005)–> general factor of performance, rest is error b/c g and C predict a lot of it.
