Study Notes
Personnel Selection and Assessment
- Personnel selection is choosing the best qualified applicant for a job.
- It's vital for hiring, transferring, rotating, and promoting employees.
- The traditional selection paradigm has three stages.
Stage 1: Job Analysis
- Analyze the job's tasks and responsibilities.
- Identify the required knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics (KSAOs).
- This stage is closely related to job analysis and competency modeling (covered in Chapter 3).
Stage 2: Selection Tool Development
- Develop or choose selection tools (e.g., cognitive tests, personality assessments).
- The tools measure characteristics predictive of job performance.
- Selection method choice depends on on-the-job performance measurement.
- Predicting future job performance is the core function of selection.
- Thoroughly evaluating a selection procedure involves assessing the employee's performance afterward.
Stage 3: Applicant Evaluation
- Compare applicant information with critical job requirements.
- Decide on suitability: unqualified, qualified (not top pick), candidate reserve, or job offer.
- This section further details the selection paradigm using the Binning and Barrett's model.
