Construct Validation Of Common Format Biodata Within The Public Sector, James Foster Baxter Jan 2003

Construct Validation Of Common Format Biodata Within The Public Sector, James Foster Baxter

Theses Digitization Project

Biographical data inventories (biodata) have one of the best predictors of job performance criteria for over 100 hundred years. Similarly, CommonFormat Biodata (CFB) inventories have also demonstrated their ability to predict certain performance criteria. There are two common themes and tow common sub-themes typically associated with CFB intruments, Education, experience, time, and specificity respectively. The major purpose of this paper was to employ a confirmatory factor analysis strategy to construct and validate a CFB inventory.

Performance Of Older People At Different Levels Of Task Complexity, Deepanwita Mohanty

Theses Digitization Project

Technological innovations and career changes have made the workers need for training/retraining an important issue in organizations. However, due to presumed age differences in the ability to benefit from training, employers are sometimes concerned about spending money on training for older workers. This study investigated the relationship of age with attitude about computer training (self-efficacy and anxiety) and training performance at different levels of task complexity.


Conditioned Acquisition And Augmenting Effects In Causal Attributions For Employee Performance, Lia Jean Nieri Jan 1995

Conditioned Acquisition And Augmenting Effects In Causal Attributions For Employee Performance, Lia Jean Nieri

Theses Digitization Project

A social analog of a short-delay conditioning paradigm in Pavlovian learning was used to test the prediction that under certain conditions, human causal judgments would reflect acquired response properties that can be either increased (augmented) or decreased (discounted). The learning experiment was masked by describing it as a study testing a computerized employee evaluation system.


Utility Analysis: Estimating The Sdy Parameter For Accounting Supervisors, Terry P. Brownson Jan 1987

Utility Analysis: Estimating The Sdy Parameter For Accounting Supervisors, Terry P. Brownson

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Personnel decisions have the potential to influence an entire organization. The effects of these decisions are more credible and relevant when quantified. Historically, benefits were defined in correlational statistics, i.e., validity coefficients. But the increasing demand is for a bottom-line or dollar-value definition. The utility concept presents a methodology for providing the dollar value impact on performance of a personnel intervention program. One parameter of a utility analysis model is the standard deviation of job performance in dollars (SDy). This research develops a SDy value for the yearly production contribution of a first level line accounting supervisor to be used …
