I/O Flashcards
Position Analysis Questioner PAQ
Worker Job Analysis Compare worker activities for jobs
Justice DIP
Distributive-fairly distributed Interactional - things are communicated Procedural-how fair procedures are being used
Total Quality Management TQM
Employee involvement/improvement Survey, data, satisfaction
Aptitude test
OK predictor of job performance
Biodata/Biographical
Low predictor of job performance low validity turn of applicant
General Mental ability test example positive negative
(wonderlick) example risk adverse effect increase most valid job performance scrunity used increase predict job success
Work Samples
decrease discrimination good criterion, relliability, validity
Interest test
low job prediction/performance of success high prediction job satisfaction/choice
Absolute measures
Subjective Measures -Critical Incidents -Forced Choice -Graphic Rating Scale -BARS
Relative measures
Subjective measures -Paired comparison -Forced distribution
Subjective Measures:
Rely on judgement of the rater. More useful for eval. complex contributors to job perf. such as motivation, leadership skills & decision making ability. List absolute and relative
Leniency/Strictness/Central Tendency/Biases aka distribution errors
Everyone gets high/low/average ratings
Halo Bias (error)
positive or negative one thing controls all
Control for Halo Bias
-Train raters -Forced Choice -BARS
Contrast bias (Error)
Think Compare and Constrast -your rating is affected by the person rating before you ex. he was great so mine will be great
Similarity Bias
rate employees higher, the more similar to us ex I love how we are always on the same page
Control for rater bias
No comparison of employees -critical inicident technique -BARS (based on critical incidents) type of graphic rating scale -Graphic rating scale -Train raters aka Frame of reference training (everyone is on the same page Compare employees -Forced distribution (preferred for leniency&halo) -Paried comparison technique
Adverse impact aka Disparate Impact
4/5s rule 80%
Causes for Adverse impact
-differentintial validity-differential validity coeffiecients for different groups (very rare) -test unfairness-similiar validity coefficients between minority and majority groups (parallel regression line occurs)
Interest test examples good/bad
examples kuder occupational, holland bad-bad predictor of job success, not good predictor of job performance good-good predictor of job choice/satisfaction
Aptitude test good/bad
decent predictor of job performance
Biodata good/bad
bad-not good predictor job choice, lacks face validity, applicants are not interested good-good predictor of job success, second best predictor of job performance (after general mental abilities test)
General Mental Abilities Test (cognitive abilities) wonderlic personnel test
bad-risk for adverse impact good-Most valid predictor of job performance, most *frequently used, good- predictor of job satisfaction
Letters of recommendations
bad can be misleading poor validity
Structured interviews
- bad- first impression-swayed by the initial impression
- bad-negative information bad-contrast effect (previous candidate shadows next person interview)
- bad-person prejudices
- bad-halo effect
- good-better criterion-related validity if structured vs unstructed interview
Personality Test
Good and Bad
- bad-poor predictor of job performance
- good-useful as screening tools for stressful jobs
- BIG 5 OCEAN Conscience has been the best predictor of job performance
Employee Selection Procedures
Think MMM Multiple regression-only 1 compensatory low on 1 can compensate for another ex EPPP Multiple Cutoff-non compensatory must meet the minimum or past cutoff will be considered- everyone gets all parts of test ex minimum sat math and reading 600 for ivy college Multiple hurdle-non compensatory make it past first predictor in order to continue to the next hurdle (preferred over multi cutoff) because you do not have to spend money administering it all to everyone
Hollands Personality Job Fit
- RIASEC differentiation=increase on one type and low on all others congruence= how much of a match exists between personality and work environment
- Realistic-doers-outdoors, vet tech, construction worker
- Investigative-thinkers-math, science, independent, doctor, historian
- Artistic-creators-unstructured, imagination, photographer, musician
- Social-helpers-teach, train, concerned w/welfare of others, therapist, nurse
- Enterprising-persuaders-lead, manage, outgoing, energetic, lawyer, executive
- Conventional-organizers-working at desk, careful, carry out in detail, librarian,
Super Career and Life Space
Think Super Self-Concept and Life Career Rainbow
Career Maturity
Super aka adaptability-person achieves career tasks each stage of lifespan
Super Self Concept
how you see yourself in a situation job satisfaction/success when self concept and job align
Life career rainbow
super 8 life roles child, student, parent, citizen 5 major life stages growth 0-15 exploration 15-24 establishment 25-44 maintenance 45-64 decline 65+
Career Decision Making Model
Tiedeman & O’Hara 2 parts TIED to career decision think about anticipating the tides (tiedeman) and implementing/adjusting before you hit 1)-anticipation-explore careers and choose one 2)-implementation/adjustment -start job become proficient self-awareness is key linked to Erickson-ego identity
Social Learning theory of Career development
- Krumboltz (think crumbled cookie) we will crumble without socialization, modeling and reinforcement
- GELT
- Genetics-talents, attributes
- Environment-social influence
- Learning-importing learning experiences
- Task Approach Skill-work habits problem solving
- -related to Bandura and reinforcement theory
Decision Dynamic Career Model
Brousseau & Driver LETS DRIVE Linear-upward movement-does not switch jobs often Expert-Master your job-specialized Transitory-not motivated but will work for $ 2 do hobby Spiral-motivation is continuing learning-lifelong learner change jobs every 5-10 years
Herzberg 2 Factory Theory aka Motivator Hygiene Theory
extension of Maslow Hierarchy of Needs Job Content=Upper level-motivators-satisfiers Job enrichment aka vertical loading-RICH-job expansion
Job satisfaction/dissatisfaction (upper)
upper level needs are met result in satisfaction and motivation upper level needs not more does not cause dissatisfaction
Job enlargement aka horizontal loading
enlarge-gets bigger but no special stuff (icing) -increase variety of tasks (not responsibility) -increase satisfaction (not performance)
Job satisfaction/dissatisfaction (lower)-hygiene
lower level needs not meet=disatisfaction lower level needs met does not cause satisfaction
Clinical prediction
compensatory subjective decision from people who know the job and think other applicant can do it (-) susceptible to bias
Multiple regression
statisical way to combine scores each thing is weighted with prediction and criterion then weighted scores come in
reliability
0-1.0 closer to 1 less measurement error increase consistency of scores predictor is reliable when consistency measures consistency
Validity
is predictor measuring what is supposed to measure
Content Validity
predictor adequately samples knowledge and skills to measure ex job knowledge, work samples
Construct validity
predictor measures construct (hypothetical trait) it was designed to measure -correlating scores, ex I.Q.test and personality test need adequate validity
Criterion-related validity
-1 to +1 closer to 0 decrease validity -predictor correlates with scores on the criterion -predictor & criterion scores correlated to get validity
Incremental Validity
add to already existing increase decision-making accuracy by adding
Selection rate
% job applicants plan to hire #2B hired/ # of applicants low selection rate is best
Base rate
% applicants hired & considered successful base rate increase, new predictor will not help base rate decrease means another problem like inadequate training
Best time to add to base rate
moderate rate (.50) increase inaccuracy
Taylor Russell Table
estimate predictors for incremental Validity for combination coefficients, base rates, and selection ratios
Differential validity
selection test or procedure has significantly different validity coefficients for members of different groups example coeffencient for men .70 vs women .20
Adverse impact present by court 4 different ways it may apply
1)modify procedure to eliminate adverse impact 2) Business necessity (tight rope walker example) 3) Bone fid occupational qualification (BFOQ) ex nun 4) Applies to gender, age, religion, national origin, but not race
Utility analysis
economic return on investment #of people highered test validity coefficient SD of job performance in $ cost of testing
Needs analysis aka needs assessment
identifies training needs
Organizational analysis
identify job goals if employee doesnt perform why? (training, selection (wrong person) or other
Task (job) analysis
identify (KSAO’s) to do the job Knowledge Skill Ability Other Characteristics
Person Analysis
identify employees who need more training
