Document Summary

From last class realistic job preview will be on exam. Steps in the selection process: screen applications and resumes, test and review work samples, interview, check references and backgrounds, make a selection. Criteria for evaluating selection methods: reliability consistency. Definition the extent to which a measurement generated consistent results (i. e. free from random error) I. e. a test of someone"s physical strength should generate similar scores when measured on two occasions two weeks apart. The information about the reliability of tests usually involves statistics, such as correlation coefficients these stats measure the degree to which two sets of numbers are related. Consistency overtime in a measurement device: validity accuracy (how good of a measure it is) Definition the extent to which performance on a measure is related to what the measure is designed to assess. I. e. toe size is not a valid indicator of who is or isn"t a good performer at work.
