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
