AB - Examined the effects of a series of organizational development (OD) techniques. Four work groups were included in the study, 2 experimental and 2 control, with 1 or 2 noncommissioned officers and 12–24 enlisted persons in each. Groups performed identical tasks, which involved finding and monitoring communications and abstracting information from them; however, the experimental groups used OD strategies in carrying out the tasks. These groups participated in tests of 3 OD techniques: survey feedback, participative problem solving, and job enrichment. Dependent variables were data from a work environment questionnaire and performance criteria. Results show positive changes in soldier perceptions and performance after the OD programs. The importance of being able to affect lower levels of the Army organization with these techniques is discussed, as are qualifying factors for their success in other settings.

By drawing specifically on US Army organizations, 6 of these characteristics are described: structure, total immersion environment, personnel rotation, personnel reductions, military–civilian dichotomy, and organizational objectives. In the military, OD has been designated 'OE' for organizational effectiveness, with primary emphasis on process consultation. Testimonials from higher-level officers are used as the principal means of determining the extent of OD penetration in the system. More data from the troops themselves are needed to assess this effect accurately.

Created within the U.S. Department of Justice in 1968 by the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration is a $600 million program of federal financial and technical assistance to state and local governments to aid them in responding to their problems of crime control and criminal justice system improvement. Billed as an innovative approach to providing federal financial assistance, the core of the program is block or formula grants which are awarded to state governments by LEAA upon receipt and approval of annual comprehensive criminal justice plans prepared by state criminal justice planning agencies, the establishment of which has also been financed by the federal government.

AB - Random samples of 100 female and 100 male executives in federal agencies (all at the GS-15 level) were administered a personnel decision task measure, the Rokeach Dogmatism Scale, the Revised Choice Dilemmas Questionnaire, and the Personal Attributes Questionnaire. These measures, in addition to the criterion variable of decision accuracy, represented 11 predictor variables (6 decision task variables, 2 personality variables, and 3 sex role perception variables). There were no significant differences between the male and female executives on any of the decision task variables. Female executives were less prone to risk taking than male executives, and female executives showed a tendency toward androgyny. Stepwise multiple regression produced 3 variables (confidence, dogmatism, and decision latency) that were related to decision accuracy; this was independent of the sex of the executives.

The Civil Service Reform Act and the Reorganization of the U.S. Civil Service Commission are two components of a total effort to revitalize public management. The significance and ultimate success of this effort rest in its two-fold approach: firstly, increasing the quality, the accountability and the career opportunities of public managers, and secondly, replacing outdated methods and procedures with management practices not normally used in the public sector. The Presidential Management Intern Program attempts to improve public management through this same dual approach. Created by President Carter in August 1977, the Presidential Management Intern Program provides individuals completing graduate degrees in public management with two-year appointments to developmental positions throughout the federal executive branch. The purpose of the Presidential Management Intern Program "is to attract to federal service men and women of exceptional management potential who have received special training in planning and managing public programs and policies."

AB - Shows that most of the between-study variation in observed validity coefficients of various aptitude and ability tests for 2 types of clerical work and for the job of 1st-line supervisor is artifactual in nature. These findings were gained from an improved version of the Bayesian validity generalization model presented by F. L. Schmidt and J. E. Hunter (see record [rid]1978-11448-001[/rid]). These results cast additional doubt on the traditional belief that employment test validities are situationally specific. Results also show that generalization of validities to new settings was justified even when the hypothesis of situational specificity could not be rejected under the standards used in this study. Implications for the use of aptitude and ability tests in selection and for theory development in industrial-organizational psychology are discussed.

AB - Used decision theoretic equations to estimate the impact of the Programmer Aptitude Test (PAT) on productivity if used to select new computer programers for 1 yr in the federal government and the national economy. A newly developed technique was used to estimate the standard deviation of the dollar value of employee job performance, which in the past has been the most difficult and expensive item of required information. For the federal government and the US economy separately, results are presented for different selection ratios and for different assumed values for the validity of previously used selection procedures. The impact of the PAT on programmer productivity was substantial for all combinations of assumptions. Results support the conclusion that hundreds of millions of dollars in increased productivity could be realized by increasing the validity of selection decisions in this occupation. Similarities between computer programers and other occupations are discussed. It is concluded that the impact of valid selection procedures on work-force productivity is considerably greater than most personnel psychologists have believed.

Job family development is viewed as essentially a matter of behavior classification in the world of work. Accordingly, the review focuses on the basic taxonomic issues of objective, content, and method in job family construction. The discussion section explores the implications for several related objectives in personnel selection, all of which reflect different aspects of the broader objective of generalizing selection procedure validity. It is concluded that the approaches to developing job families that emphasize either the human attribute requirements or broad content structure of jobs are likely to prove more useful for both theory development and practical application in personnel selection than are approaches based on more molecular analyses of jobs.

Scores were factor analysed and composites were formed to reflect each dimension. Three criteria (satisfaction, perceived effort and intention to reenlist) were predicted using (a) all 16 outcome items, (b) only 11 items defining four outcome dimensions and (c) 4 items only, each item reflecting an outcome dimension. In all cases, the 11-item set was a better predictor than the 16-item set, and the 4-item set was nearly as effective as the 16-item set. Instrumentalities were found to be significantly better predictors of satisfaction than of effort, while the reverse was true of valences. It was suggested that adequacy of coverage of the out come domain rather than list length or outcome specificity, was the critical issue in improving predictability.

AB - Asserts that as a result of psychologists' rejection of the erroneous law of small numbers and of their adoption of correct inferential procedures, the future of criterion-related validity promises to be bright. Probable developments include the following: (a) widespread appreciation of the low statistical power characteristic of small samples, (b) rejection of the traditional belief that validities are situationally specific, (c) widespread validity generalization based on new methods, (d) research demonstrations that rational estimates of validity are often superior in accuracy to empirical estimates, (e) widespread acceptance of research findings showing that single-group and differential validity by race are artifactual rather than substantive in origin and that test unfairness by race is a nonproblem, (f) increased application of decision-theoretic dollar utility analyses to selection programs, and (g) progress in the establishment of general principles and theories about trait-performance relations in the world of work.

AB - Presents tables that contain the required ns to test for the significance of the difference between correlations (Fisher zs) at power equal to .5, .8, and .9 and alpha levels of .01 and .05. The relevance of the tables for controversies dealing with the existence of differential validity is discussed. The typical differential validity study contains inadequate sample sizes in the 2 groups to test for the existence of the concept at a respectable level of statistical power. This results in a lessened probability of detecting significant differences in validity. Differential validity studies are technically feasible much less frequently than commonly assumed, since they are very likely to produce inconclusive results.

AB - Self-assessments combined with other evidence such as achievements and test scores lead to increased accuracy and fairness in examining. The use of self-ratings to evaluate an applicant requires adjustments for degree of understanding of the element to be rated and for applicant's subjective base for rating. However, raw ratings may be used for psychometric analysis. Since minorities are usually represented in significant numbers among applicants but not in employed groups, this kind of analysis appears promising for studies designed to reduce adverse impact of tests and other measuring devices. An exploratory example of such analysis is described.

Issue Publication Date: Jun, 1980. AB - Previous research done at the Universities of Maryland, Michigan, and Minnesota has disagreed concerning the relationship between goal difficulty, expectancy, and performance. It was hypothesized that these disagreements may have been caused by various flaws in experimental design. Two experiments, designed to avoid these problems, examined the independent effects of goal difficulty and subjective probability (expectancy) on effort and performance. 602 university students participated. Goal difficulty was positively and linearly related to effort and performance. Subjective probability and valence affected the degree or probability of acceptance of an assigned goal, but had no effect on effort or performance when other factors (e.g., ability), were controlled. Results allowed for a partial integration of goal theory with valence–instrumentality–expectancy theory. An interesting finding of the 2nd study, which replicated an earlier finding of S. J. Motowidlo (1976), was that perceived task ability had a significant effect on performance even after controlling all other variables.

This procedure was applied to 56 distributions of validity coefficients drawn from 698 published and unpublished studies representing 5 clerical job families, 10 test types, and 2 classes of criteria—job proficiency and training success. Results show that most of the between-study variation in empirical validity results is accounted for by 4 statistical artifacts, thus casting doubt on the belief that employment test validities are situationally specific. In most cases, generalization of validity to similar clerical jobs or new settings appears to be justified, even where the hypothesis of situational specificity can not be rejected with certainty. The correlation between mean test type validities for proficiency and training criteria was high, indicating that, contrary to previous belief, similar ability measures are predictive of both criterion types.

Schmidt et al (see record [rid]1980-24541-001[/rid]) and a second, recently developed Bayesian procedure, this study shows that most of the between-study variance in 4 distributions of observed validity coefficients of the Programmer Aptitude Test for measures of proficiency on the job is artifactual. The average percentage of variance accounted for by artifacts was 69 using the Schmidt et al procedure (without the Fisher's z transformation) and 65 using the new procedure. These figures were lower (39 and 41%, respectively) for the single distribution of training criterion validities. Results for both procedures indicate that validities were generalizable to new settings in 4 of 5 cases. Further analyses indicated that corrections for sampling error alone were sufficient to support the conclusions of validity generalizability.

Issue Publication Date: Mar, 1981. AB - Analyzes the contributions of the amygdala, hippocampus, and septum to human and animal behavior, focusing primarily on learning and motivational variables. The amygdala is assumed to be part of a stimulus-analyzing system involved in the processing of reinforcers and salient cues. This system contributes to the formation of conditioned reinforcers and, thus, to the ability of arbitrary cues to control species specific behavior. The hippocampus is assumed to be part of a different stimulus-analyzing system that processes nonsalient stimuli. It habituates all stimuli not associated with reinforcement, this process occurring on any nonreinforced presentation. However, those nonsalient stimuli followed by reinforcement are registered as secondary cues. These cues are devoid of conditioned reinforcing properties. The septum is viewed as a coordinating structure that handles the flow of information between these two systems. The principles of operation of these structures are based on neurological and behavioral data from both animals and humans.

Copyright Statement: American Psychological Association. 1981. AB - Claims that cognitive ability tests of the kind generally used in personnel selection are valid predictors of successful performance for jobs in all settings. This controversial stance is supported by analyses that recast findings of invalid tests as instances of Type I error. Ideally, if an employer has large enough samples, perfectly reliable tests, and an unrestricted range of ability in the applicant pool, the most widely used types of standardized tests should be valid in all job situations, and the notion of job-specific validity would no longer hold. The authors argue against previous reservations about the suitability of cognitive ability tests for employee selection that were made on the basis of their supposed limited applicability, their bias, and their ultimate contribution to workforce productivity.

Data compression techniques have the potential to emerge from obscurity and serve as a remedy to counter recent tariff escalations. To make data compression viable, standards covering both compression algorithms and encoding techniques are a necessity in the author's opinion. This paper covers the rationale behind this opinion and proposes several data compression standards for consideration.

AB - Presents a historical overview of inductive logic and discusses the logic of enumerative induction in its 2 generalized forms: rule-derivative and event-predictive (EPI). The psychometric tradition and experimental studies in induction are briefly recapitulated to indicate that they have not included EPI, that probabilities have not been prevalently included in rule-generative induction, and that the linguistic medium might be utilized more fully in the inductive area. An experimental test model designed to address these considerations is discussed. This test model of EPI in the linguistic medium was admininstered to a large sample of college graduates. Characteristics of the tests and items were satisfactory when compared to operational subtests.

AB - Describes the adaptation of the linear-regression-based decision-theoretic equations used to estimate the dollar impact of valid selection procedures on workforce productivity to the evaluation of intervention programs designed to improve job performance. The appropriate equations are derived and explained, methods for estimating equation parameters are discussed, and the use of these equations is illustrated. It is concluded that in the future these methods and equations will allow psychologists to make more accurate assessments of the impact of intervention programs on workforce productivity than has heretofore been the case.

A recently developed estimation procedure involves supervisors' point estimates of 50th and 85th percentiles on an assumed underlying normal distribution of performance (Schmidt, Hunter, McKenzie, & Muldrow, 1979). Using archival data from a large insurance company, it is demonstrated that this estimation procedure is quite accurate in reproducing actual standard deviations and that the assumption of underlying normality is justified. It is concluded that estimates of utility do not suffer from a lack of direct knowledge of variation in performance.

In the present study, the authors discuss this flaw in more detail and show that its solution would make the BOS indistinguishable from other methods already in existence. Appraisal methods are evaluated, and problems of error capitalization that arise in the use of item analysis in the development of multi-item rating scales are discussed. The correct approach to removing the effects of error capitalization in the evaluation of the psychometric properties of such rating scales is described.

Callender and Osburn admitted that our validity generalization equations are just as accurate as theirs but still argued that our derivation is faulty. We show the error in their argument and present an example showing that in realistic situations, our noninteractive equation will be more accurate than their equation (though by a trivial amount). Callender and Osburn confused two different issues in comparing three- and four-artifact validity generalization equations. We spell out the aesthetic issue of presenting four-artifact validity generalization results with either complete correction for attenuation due to error in the predictor or correction to the average reliability of the predictor in the validation study set. We relate this to the separate issue of the difference between validity generalization values characterizing the findings of the field and the validity generalization values to be used in a specific application. The four- artifact equations are shown to be superior in either context.

Osburn (see record [rid]1981-27033-001[/rid]) aimed at determining the relative accuracy of equations used in validity generalization (transportability) research to estimate the variance of true validities. Certain incorrect statements about equations derived and used by the present authors and their associates (1980, 1981) shown to be predicated on the mistaken impression that their derivational assumptions were the same as those of Callender and Osburn. The following conclusions are made: There is only 1 model for validity generalization, although there are different equations for estimating its parameters. There are now 3 accurate equations available for estimating the variance of true validities: All 3 equations are correctly derived and are of necessity approximations rather than perfect reflections of reality, although for different reasons. Validity generalization is such a robust phenomenon that it is possible based on only corrections for simple sampling error.

The importance of goal setting stems from the opportunity it gives employees to clarify their performance and responsibilities. As a trainer, the manager may model, demonstrate, or suggest approaches to problems; but as a mentor, the manager should encourage employees to devise their own plans for self-improvement. In decision making, the manager should realize the importance that appropriate action for good or poor performance has on the motivation of all employees.

AB - Constructed a theory of cross-cultural transportability of measurement on a logico-mathematical basis regarding the deductive measures and on the basis of syntactic reduction and Latin-based vocabulary regarding the linguistic measuring medium. A deductive test was constructed according to this theory. The workability of the theory was tested through a pilot study that included experimental administrations of the deductive test in 3 highly industrialized countries in which the languages spoken were either derived from Latin or contained a large number of Latin-derived words: Spain, France, and the US. Ss were 14–20 yrs old. While the mean scores revealed different ability levels in the 3 groups, examination of the Country-by-Item interaction and the comparison of the rank order of the items by difficulty level for the 3 groups indicated that the items were performing equivalently across groups.

The Productivity Research Division has undertaken studies to determine if incentive pay and quality circles are controls which improve performance under certain highly specified conditions that can be generalized to similar government settings. If successful, products from these studies will provide specific guides to managers about how to implement these control mechanisms and how to apply them to achieve perceptions of equity among organizational members. It is already clear that incentive pay should only be used in a work environment where performance can be assessed with accuracy. It is also strongly suspected that quality circles will operate at their maximum potential in a work environment where there is sufficient job autonomy to allow changes in procedures/methods. Finally, a third study has the potential for identifying ways in which employees' performance is influenced by sources and mechanisms other than formal managers. The purpose is to provide managers with an understanding of how these substitutes may enhance managerial effectiveness or, on the other hand, reduce a manager's ability to influence subordinates' performance.

Many entrants into the Senior Executive Service (SES) will have to deal with a set of external issues and concerns with which they have had little or no previous experience, suggesting that executive development programs for SES candidates should pay particular attention to providing participant exposure to relevant external issues and dealing with an expanded array of job-related contacts. Further, given that SES managers are at the top of the career hierarchy and will be most directly responsible for carrying out the policies and priorities of the elected leaders and their appointees, it is desirable that SES incumbents be provided with opportunities for updating and further developing their competence in external relations management activities. In view of the differences between government and private sector decision-making and environment, this may be particularly important for those SES members with little or no previous federal experience.

The study was based on Navy data with samples of over 3,000 for each of nine jobs, with validity results on six tests for each job. Twenty experienced psychologists estimated the observed validity for each of the 54 test-job combinations. Both the random and systematic error in the expert judgments were evaluated. Psychologists typically underestimated the validity by a small amount (an average systematic error of .019). On the average, in order to equal the accuracy of a single judge, the sample size of a criterion-related validation study would have to be 92. To match the accuracy of an average across four judges, the sample size must be 326. The sample size must be 1,164 to match the accuracy of the pooled judgment of 30 judges. These results indicate that, given highly trained and experienced judges, expert judgment may provide more accurate estimates of validity for cognitive tests than do local criterion-related validation studies.

The smallest pay differential between the earnings of men and women often appears among lower-paying jobs held predominantly by women, younger workers, and public sector employees. The application of job evaluation methods and the results of reconciliation between job-worth points and prevailing rates of pay are also important contributors to the earnings gap. It is suggested that interdisciplinary research is needed to understand the role of background and historical contributors to the earnings gap. New psychometric tools such as multidimensional scaling procedures might be used in studying the cognitive processes involved in making judgments of the similarities between jobs and establishing their relative worth. The author concludes that existing job analysis methods should be used to obtain comprehensive information on the worth of jobs held predominantly by members of one sex and occupations traditionally covered by different pay plans.

Writers on the subject of med-arb have identified certain factors that, they submit, must be present in negotiations for med-arb to work. These factors are discussed and a brief background of the legal framework for federal sector negotiations and of the labor-management relationship between the parties is provided. Next, the SSA-AFGE med-arb experience is analyzed to determine whether these factors were present and the extent to which they determined the success of the med-arb technique at SSA.

One approach was an elaborate quantitative procedure that involved a lengthy job inventory and a multivariate item analysis. This approach was shown to be highly successful when applied to the responses from 1179 job inventories collected in 54 petroleum-petrochemical plants from 30 different companies. The other procedure involved simple job classification judgments by supervisors and incumbents. This latter approach was shown to be as effective, but was much less time consuming and costly. Professional and legal implications of these findings are discussed.

AB - The situational specificity hypothesis of selection procedure validity makes 2 predictions: (1) Variation in observed validities across settings is caused by real differences in what constitutes job performance; and (2) If the situation (e.g., the organization) is held constant, then validity findings will not vary from study to study. Validity generalization studies to date have provided disconfirming evidence for the 1st prediction by showing that the observed variation is due to statistical and measurement artifacts. The present authors tested the 2nd prediction empirically using data from a series of studies reported by W. R. Bender and H. F. Loveless (see record [rid]1960-02143-001[/rid]). The results are contrary to the situational specificity hypothesis and consistent with the hypothesis that variation in observed validities is due to statistical and measurement artifacts that are unrelated to situations and settings. It is concluded that both major predictions of the situational specificity hypothesis have now been empirically disconfirmed.

AB - Presents an analysis of the selection-utility implications of employing a valid test as opposed to a structured employment interview in the selection of park rangers in the US Park Service. Values of the standard deviation of job performance in dollars (SD–By–b) were estimated using the method presented by the 1st author and colleagues (see record [rid]1981-02231-001[/rid]). The impact on employee output of 3 modes of selection test use was examined: (a) top–down selection, (b) minimum required test scores equal to the mean, and (c) minimum score at 1 standard deviation (SD) below the mean. Top–down selection produced an increase in average productivity of about 13%. This 13% increase translated into large savings in dollar terms. Where the minimum required score was set at the mean, dollar value of output gains was only 45% as large as dollar value for top-down selection. The percentage increase in output was 5.9%. When the cutoff score was 1 SD below the mean, dollar value of output gains was only 16% of the top–down figure, and the percentage increase in output was only 2.1%. It is concluded that employers using the minimum test score cutoff method of test use are doing so at substantial economic cost.

AB - Explored the relationship between certain formal (logical) properties of syllogistic items and the psychometric properties of the items. Properties of negation mode, syllogistic invalidity, and linguistic medium (symbol vs verbal) were varied in 16 syllogistic tests and administered to 1,500 college-educated adults. Results show that tests in verbal language were less difficult than corresponding tests expressed in symbols and that the variable of negation mode had the greatest effect on the test means (correct response choices were only half as large as those in the affirmative mode). Results also show positive correlations between performance on valid and invalid syllogisms when response choices were affirmative. It is also suggested that the pluralism of deductive schemata lays the foundation for desirable psychometric distinctions between types of deductive reasoning, although all these types share the same logico-mathematical definition of inferring necessary conclusions.

AB - Describes the problems that arise in the administration and content of standardized employment testing, especially for visually impaired and hearing impaired persons. It is suggested that for visually impaired persons, the majority of the problems arise from the need to present test questions in an appropriate medium (e.g., braille) and to adjust time limits accordingly. Among hearing impaired persons, those who are profoundly, prelingually deaf tend to perform poorly on verbal tests. Considerations for testing persons with motor handicaps and with specific learning disabilities are also presented. It is concluded that research in the area of these problems may enable psychometricians to design appropriate measures of the abilities of handicapped individuals.

The Management Excellence Inventory (MEl) is a management strengths and needs assessment instrument developed by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management for use by federal agencies in their management development systems. It is based on a comprehensive, competencies-based model or framework of effective management. This model consists of broad functions and effectiveness characteristics common in varying degrees to management at all levels and across organizations. However, the MEl uses a process that tailors the model to reflect differences in individual positions and organizations. This feature, in conjunction with findings from research on nonfederal managers, suggests that the MEl can be adapted for use in other organizational settings, particularly in state and local governments.

A new European Economic Community directive was adopted in late 1984 and will take effect in 1986. Although each EEC nation finds advertising regulations a complex challenge, the challenge multiplies when standardization and harmonization are set as a goal. The politics, economics, and cultures of the member countries are all involved. Two simultaneous motivations are 1) to remove and prevent distortions of competition in the common market and assure the free flow of goods and services and 2) to protect and inform consumers. The legislative history and development of this historic breakthrough are examined.

AB - Defines logic-based measurement as a method of measurement in which all measures (test items) are constructed according to the applicable inferential formula of logic. Such a method of test construction brings into verbal reasoning tests the inferential objectivity of numerical reasoning tests. It is contended that the availability of such a technology has powerful implications in personnel selection regarding real-life prediction of inferential performance; the legal defensibility of personnel selection tests; the design of economical, inferentially nonredundant tests; and the design of test taxonomies in which basic inferential processes can be thoroughly sampled. The linkage of logic-based measurement with other recently developed technologies such as validity generalization and computer-tailored testing is discussed.

AB - Tested the situational specificity hypothesis in personnel selection, which holds that variation in observed validity coefficient across studies for the same test and job is due to subtle variations from setting to setting in what constitutes job performance. Using data from a single large-sample validity study conducted by the US Postal Service (1981) to validate a paper-and-pencil test with 1,455 Ss, the present research generated numerous small-sample studies for which the setting (organization, job, test, criterion measure, applicant pool, time period, and sample size) was held constant. It was found that even under the circumstances there was substantial variability across studies in (a) observed validity coefficients, (b) significance levels, and (c) conclusions about the presence or absence of validity (using traditional data analytic methods). These findings disconfirm the situational specificity hypothesis and argue strongly against traditional data-analytic procedures and the practice of reliance on single small-sample studies. Meta-analytic methods correctly estimated the population observed validity at .22 and correctly indicated that all between-study variance in observed validities was due to sampling error alone.

Data from the Professional and Administrative Career Examination corroborate the logical foundations of deduction and induction as convergent models. Factor analysis of the items demonstrated factorial convergence, which lends additional support to the postulate of convergence. Implications for the understanding of cognitive processes and for psychometric practice are discussed in relation to such issues as the use of verbal and nonverbal test media, redundancy of measurement, and problem-solving strategies.

JO - Personnel Psychology JF - Personnel Psychology Y1 - 1986///Spring86 VL - 39 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 29 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00315826 AB - In this study, job performance increases resulting from improved selection validity were measured empirically rather than estimated from the standard linear regression utility equations. Selection utility analyses based on these empirical measurements were carried out for most white-collar jobs in the federal government. Results indicate that selection of a one-year cohort based on valid measures of cognitive ability, rather than on non-test procedures (mostly evaluations of education and experience), produces increases in output worth up to $600 million for each year that the new employees remain employed by the government. Newly hired federal employees remain with the government an average of approximately 13 years, resulting in a total gain in output of almost $8 billion over this period. This gain represents a 9.7% increase in output among new hires. If total output is held constant rather than increased, new hiring can be reduced by up to 20,044 per year (a 9% decrease), resulting in payroll savings of $272 million for every year the new cohort of employees remains on the job. The percentage of new hires in the bottom decile of the non-test-selected job performance distribution would be expected to decline from 10% to about 4%. The utility estimates derived from empirical measurements were 19% to 21% smaller than theoretical predictions from the standard linear utility equations. Such a difference was expected and predicted from known conditions tending to bias the empirical estimates downward in these data. In light of these conditions, the agreement between empirical and theoretical figures was quite close. This correspondence of empirical and theoretical figures lends support both to this study and to the use of the theoretical utility equations in selection utility analyses.

The present study examined whether less experienced judges could also produce accurate estimates. Twenty-eight recent Ph.D.'s in I/O Psychology estimated observed validities for the same 54 job-test combinations used by Schmidt et al. (1983). The estimates of these judges contained about twice as much random error as the experts' estimates. Systematic error of the less experienced judges was also greater than that of the experts (.0732 vs. .019). The systematic errors of the two sets of judges were in opposite directions: less experienced judges overestimated validities, on average, while experts underestimated them. The results show that the estimates of less experienced judges contain less information than those of experts, but also that averages of estimates of several less experienced judges are as accurate as those obtained from small-sample empirical studies.

Both assumed artifact distributions, and distributions of artifacts constructed from information contained in the current sample of studies were used to test the hypothesis of situational specificity and to estimate validity generalizability. Results for studies using a criterion of performance in training programs showed that validities ranged from .41 to .71, and for four test types the hypothesis of situational specificity could be rejected using the 75% decision rule. For the remaining test types, validity was generalizable, based on 90% credibility values ranging from .37 to .71. Results for studies using a criterion of performance on the job indicated that the hypothesis of situational specificity was not tenable for three test types, which had validities between .17 and .31. For the remaining test types, estimated mean true validities ranged from .10 to .26 and were generalizable to a majority of situations. Results for both groups of studies were essentially identical for the two types of artifact distribution. Possible reasons for the apparently lower validities and lesser generalizability for job performance criteria are discussed, including possible low validity of the criterion (due to lack of opportunity by supervisors to observe behavior) and the potential role of noncognitive factors in the determination of law enforcement job success. Suggestions for specifically targeted additional research are made.

Findings support the conclusion that when (a) mean job experience is in the neighboorhood of 2 to 3 years, (b) there is substantial variance in job experience, and (c) the jobs are of an intermediate complexity level, job experience has a substantial direct impact on job knowledge and a smaller `direct impact on performance capabilities as assessed by job sample measures. Job experience also has a substantial indirect effect on work sample performance through its effect on job knowledge, which, in turn, was found to be the strongest determinant of work sample performance. The pattern and magnitude of causal effects of general mental ability was found to be similar to those of job experience. The effect of job knowledge on supervisory ratings was found to be several times stronger than the effect of job sample performance, confirming the findings of Hunter (1983). When job experience was held constant, the direct impact of ability on the acquisition of job knowledge increased substantially, and this, in turn, increased the indirect effect of ability on job sample performance. Implications of these findings are discussed.

AB - Reviews the development of applied psychology and psychological testing and the impact of computers on society. Achievements, potentials, and limitations of current computer-based test interpretations (CBTIs) in psychological testing are examined. Applications in clinical, counseling, and school psychology that are discussed include computerized psychological testing, computer-assisted diagnostic interventions, and computerized adaptive testing. Limitations of present CBTIs are especially evident in applications such as clinical assessment, where human senses are still the prime purveyors of information.

AB - Discusses ethical and professional concerns regarding US providers and users of computerized psychological test interpretation services for interpreting complex diagnostic and pre-employment tests of a clinical nature. Despite the advantages of automated test scoring and interpretation, there is a potential for misuse by unqualified personnel. Test standards and ethical principles developed by the American Psychological Association are reviewed, and implications for interprofessional relations are discussed. The authors suggest that the time has come to develop tests to assess user qualifications and procedures to certify users, thereby ensuring professional self-regulation to strengthen the gatekeeper function of controlling access to clinical assessment tools.

The divergence hypothesis predicts an increasing difference and the convergence hypothesis predicts a decreasing difference in the job performance of high- and low-mental-ability employees as employees gain increasing experience on the job. The noninteractive hypothesis, by contrast, predicts that the performance difference will be constant over time. For all three measures of job performance, results supported the noninteractive hypothesis. Also, consistent with the noninteractive hypothesis, correlational analyses showed essentially constant validities for general mental ability (measured earlier) out to 5 years of experience on the job. In addition to their theoretical implications, these findings have an important practical implication: They indicate that the concerns that employment test validities may decrease over time, complicating estimates of selection utility, are probably unwarranted.

Copyright Statement: Public Domain AB - We explore ethical concerns in personnel psychology. We review the relationship of ethics to changes in the dominant views in the philosophy of science, especially the movement from a logical positivist view of ethics to a normative one. We highlight Kantian ethics as the integrating principle relating to five seemingly disparate ethical principles of the American Psychological Association (APA). These five ethical principles are presented in the context of five ethics cases. In addition to the applicability of the APA ethical code, the need for personnel psychologists to be more attentive to their ethical responsibilities as psychologists is discussed, along with the need to raise ethical consciousness among all personnel psychologists.

AB - Reviews the book, Computerized Psychological Assessment: A Practitioner's Guide by James N. Butcher (Ed.) (see record [rid]1987-97380-000[/rid]). This volume is designed to address critical and controversial issues related to the delivery of mental health services, in the form of descriptions and interpretations of human behavior, which have been generated by a computer. The book, especially if accompanied by hands-on experience in computer use, should help to reduce the computer phobia experienced by some clinicans. On the negative side, there is little cross-referencing from chapter to chapter. Comments on test taker attitudes are scattered throughout the book. In spite of limitations, this book should be of considerable value to clinicians, counselors, educators, and others who wish to incorporate these technological developments and products into their professional and scientific work.

Although collective bargaining for federal employees is a relatively recent development, federal employee unions have been around for a long time, well back into the 19th century, especially in the Post Office and naval shipyards. In many respects, the developments over the last three decades have been healthy and positive. On the other hand, there is a widespread belief that many of the objectives of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute have not been achieved. On the positive side, the creation of independent third-party dispute resolution mechanisms has increased employee belief in the possibility of a fair resolution of grievances. The management of federal programs is under ever-increasing pressures to effectively use new technology in the workplace, meet the challenge of work force diversity, address work and family issues, face private sector competition, take advantage of total quality management and similar initiatives that place a premium on employee involvement and cope with limited resources combined with an insatiable public demand for government services. In the final analysis, of course, the labor-management relationship exists at the individual worksite. The responsibility for sound worksite relationships is shared by labor and management. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the agencies have a responsibility to ensure that supervisors and managers have the necessary skills for managing employees, recognizing and dealing with problems at an early stage, and fulfilling collective bargaining obligations. The OPM is committed to ensuring that agencies and unions will have the wherewithal to achieve this goal.

AB - This casebook was designed to emphasize important areas for professional training, raise questions about test use, instruct students in proper use, and stimulate students and teachers to explore issues beyond the boundaries of specific cases. Cases may be interpreted in numerous ways. The casebook is designed to encourage testing professionals to expand the opportunities of their clients, rather than restrict opportunities. Test misuse, where it exists, can be overcome. This casebook is based on the assumption that proper test use requires important knowledges, skills, abilities, and other personal characteristics that can be learned through formal education or training or by self-instruction. Test use guidelines, textbooks, conferences, Test User Qualifications Working Group, case development, comprehensive case coverage, actual behavior being described and casebook caveats are discussed.

Methodology: Nonclinical Case Study. Page Count: 8. AB - The casebook was developed to extend the application of principles of proper test interpretation and use learned in the classroom to the real world, where tests are used daily in a variety of settings to make vital decisions affecting the lives of individuals. Thus, the goal of the Test User Training Work Group (TUTWoG) was to provide a collection of case studies based on actual incidents of proper and improper test use that could be used to supplement the basic textbooks used in testing and assessment courses. Much of the material taught in introductory measurement courses is, of necessity, abstract and often linked rather indirectly to the actual use of tests in applied settings. The casebook gives students and instructors that link to the real world of test use. Its organization facilitates its use in both traditional academic settings as well as in training programs, workshops on test interpretation and use, and in various types of continuing education courses. The casebook will also help individuals engaged in self-study improve their use and interpretation of tests. Practitioners will find the various case studies of value for reviewing basic principles of test use as well as extending their understanding of testing in applied settings. These cases may be used also by state licensing boards in examining licensure candidates for responsible test use. The casebook's major emphasis is on the application of basic principles of sound test selection, use, and interpretation across seven settings or areas of application within which tests are used: Counseling/Training, Education, Employment, General, Mental Health, Neuropsychology, and Speech-Language-Hearing. Flexibility and ease of use in a variety of instructional settings have remained guiding principles in developing and organizing the casebook. This chapter describes the organization, classification, and structure of the case studies presented.

AB - The casebook was developed to extend the application of principles of proper test interpretation and use learned in the classroom to the real world. The goal . . . was to provide a collection of [78] case studies based on actual incidents of proper and improper test use that could be used to supplement the basic textbooks used in testing and assessment courses. . . . Its organization facilitates its use in both traditional academic settings as well as in training programs, workshops on test interpretation and use, and in various types of continuing education courses. The casebook will also help individuals engaged in self-study improve their use and interpretation of tests. Practitioners will find the various case studies of value for reviewing basic principles of test use as well as extending their understanding of testing in applied settings. The casebook's major emphasis is on the application of basic principles of sound test selection, use, and interpretation across seven settings or areas of application within which tests are used: Counseling/Training, Education, Employment, General, Mental Health, Neuropsychology, and Speech-Language-Hearing.

AB - Addresses the legal and psychometric issues related to nondiscrimination in employment testing for persons who have disabilities. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; and psychometric literature on nondiscriminatory testing have introduced and extended the concept from the federal government to the private sector. The comparability of results on the Scholastic Aptitude Test and Graduate Record Examinations, when accommodations are made in the testing process for persons with hearing, vision, and physical impairments and learning disabilities, were examined by the Educational Testing Service and reported by W. W. Willingham et al (1988). Test timing appears to be the critical accommodation for these tests. Testing accommodations are discussed in terms of testing medium, time limits, and test content.

AB - The validity of written job knowledge tests as predictors of job performance and training success was examined. Based on a sample of 363,528 persons and 502 coefficients, meta-analyses were performed to investigate the extent of validity generalization and the effects of two hypothesized moderator variables: content similarity and job complexity. Corrected mean validities were 0.45 for studies predicting job performance and 0.47 for studies of training success. Support was found for both moderators since validities were higher for high complexity jobs and when job-test content similarity was high. The implications of this study for personnel selection and research in the area of work performance are discussed.

Results are presented from 3 alternative performance management systems tested in governmentwide demonstration projects (China Lake, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and Pacer Share), authorized by the US Office of Personnel Management. Two different pay-for-performance systems were found to be effective, while the 3rd system tested under Pacer Share, which eliminated performance appraisal consistent with W. E. Deming's (1985) total quality management philosophy, produced some undesirable results.

AB - This article summarizes the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) report 'Revisiting Civil Service 2000: New Policy Direction Needed,' published in September 1993. The OPM report revisits the widely circulated 1988 publication, Civil Service 2000, which predicted the future employment needs of the federal workforce. The report analyzes the assumptions made in Civil Service 2000 to determine if the directions it set are still valid guides for future federal human resources management policies. It argues that a shift in focus is now needed, moving from recruitment and retention issues as highlighted in Civil Service 2000 to a new emphasis on effective management of the existing workforce.

We present the conclusions of several surveys of selection practices including those conducted by the International Personnel Management Association and the American Management Association. We summarize the literature on assessment centers, biodata, computerized assessment, education and experience criteria, individual assessment, education and experience criteria, individual assessment, integrity testing, interviews, job knowledge tests, physical and psychomotor tests and written tests. We also describe selection procedures being used for a variety of occupations from Air Traffic Controller to Telephone Operator. We conclude by describing future trends in personnel assessment in North America and predict greater collaborative research efforts between our two countries.

At 3M, informal meetings are held by employees from different departments to discuss new-product ideas and problems. A striking amount of cooperation can be observed among the employees. In effect, 3M management has created and maintained a climate that fosters innovation, customer service and voluntarism. Certain perceptions play heavily in the climate perceived by employees, including practices and procedures that encourage innovation. The actions of senior managers strongly influence the culture of a company. Culture stems from employees' interpretations of the assumptions, values and philosophies that produce the climates they experience. The more employees talk about management's qualities, the more the qualities become organization characteristics. Several requirements are suggested for fostering climates and employee attributions that create culture. There are several challenges in changing the climate and culture of an organization. One of these is the difficulty in changing the behavior of employees. Several areas must be considered by management in creating a framework for organization change, including employee recruitment, orientation and training.

Copyright Statement: American Psychological Association. 1998. AB - Spatial–semantic displays, such as knowledge maps, are becoming more prevalent in educational settings (D. R. Dansereau & D. Newbern, 1997). In particular, knowledge maps have been found to be effective communication aids and study devices. Although explicit use of these displays can be effective, it has not been clear whether or not experience with these displays improves the manner in which people interact with other information formats. These experiments were designed to investigate whether mapping training helped people learn from text when not explicitly using a mapping strategy. In Experiment 1, college students trained with knowledge maps recalled more macro-level ideas from two text passages compared with participants who were not given the training. In Experiment 2, training facilitated recall of both macro- and micro-level ideas.

These faculty members had a wide range of interests but only 21% listed assessment as a primary or secondary interest area. They have considerable postgraduate experience (M = 17 years) and include accomplished psychologists (14% are APA Fellows) and accomplished practitioners (11% hold American Board of Professional Psychology Diplomates). Those who taught in PsyD and PhD/PsyD programs were less likely than those teaching in PhD programs to hold an academic position as principal employment but more likely to belong to state psychological associations.

AB - This study assumed that low munificence and high dynamism of an industry's environment and high local area unemployment rates indicate uncertainty and influence retirement. It was hypothesized that, while controlling for personal variables, (1) rates of retirement would vary across industries, (2) munificence would have a negative relationship with retirement, (3) industry dynamism will have a positive relationship with retirement, and (4) unemployment rate would have a positive relationship with retirement. The hypotheses included 2,020, 353, 353, and 2,002 women, respectively, with a mean age of 57.96 yrs. The study relies on 4 waves (from 1986 to 1992) of data from the National Longitudinal Survey's Mature Women Cohort, and logistic regression was used to examine the extent of the proposed relationships. Results show that retirement rate varied across industries and had a positive relationship with munificent environments, but retirement was not related to dynamism or unemployment rates. The results suggest that environmental factors may influence retirement timing. Additional theoretical and empirical work is suggested to help sort out direct environmental effects and possible moderating third variables.

Test item reviewers not only examine the targeted content of a test but also remove inappropriate content and balance various types of incidental content. Describes how an automated content analysis implementation of Hiller's verbal ambiguity scales and Laffal's 'General Concept Dictionary of English' was used to examine 576 multiple-choice test items before and after test item review and revision by experienced item editors. Results show that Hiller's scales detected some problems with item clarity and that Laffal's categories detected content imbalance between test forms but not inappropriate item content.

JO - Personnel Psychology JF - Personnel Psychology Y1 - 2001///Summer2001 VL - 54 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 451 EP - 492 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00315826 AB - The Occupational Information Network (O*NET) has recently been developed as a replacement for the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. As a comprehensive system designed to describe occupations, the O*NET incorporates the last 60 years of knowledge about the nature of jobs and work. This article summarizes its development and validation by first discussing how the O*NET used multiple descriptors to provide "multiple windows" on the world of work, utilized cross-job descriptors to provide a common language to describe different jobs, and used a hierarchical taxonomic approach to occupational descriptors. Second, we provide an overview of the O*NET's Content Model of descriptor domains (i.e., worker characteristics, worker requirements, occupational requirements, experience requirements, occupation characteristics, and occupation-specific requirements) and their potential uses. Third, we discuss some of the technical issues surrounding the O*NET. Finally, we discuss some of the implications for research and theory, as well as some limitations of the O*NET system.

AB - Assessed the incremental validity of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; P. T. Costa and R. R. McCrae, 1992b) domain scales over the MMPI-2 Personality Psychopathology Five (MMPI-2 PSY-5; A. R. Harkness et al, 1995) scales for predicting aggression using a sample of 234 introductory psychology students (155 females, 79 males). Results indicate that the NEO-PI-R domain scales were able to add significantly to the prediction of several facets of aggression over and above the PSY-5 scales, providing evidence for the incremental validity of the instrument. However, the practical importance of the findings remain open to debate. Implications of the present findings for the use of normal-range personality instruments in clinical settings are discussed.

However, what the programs teach and how they teach it vary widely. So, also, do beliefs about what should be taught. In this study, program descriptive materials and course syllabi from 84 programs were analyzed. Findings highlight commonalities in basic course content and supervised practice in administering, scoring, and interpreting assessment instruments as well as differences in coverage of psychometric and other assessment-related topics and in the extent to which lectures, labs, and practica are integrated.

Whether driven by the need to improve efficiency, productivity, or profitability, or by the desire to provide world-class customer service, the combination of two components is critical. Human resource management professionals can contribute to the organizations' achievement of their missions and goals by providing managers and employees with information and tools to meet these challenges by maximizing human capital. Competencies provide the foundation through which human resource professionals can contribute to the success of their organization. The use of competencies to identify high-performing people, or outstanding employees, has gradually become widespread in human resource management. As the use of competencies has grown, the number and variety of competency models and methods for developing competencies have also continued to increase. There are two primary levels for use of competency models. The first uses competency models for specific occupations to facilitate human resource activities. The second level uses competency models of occupational groups to maximize use of resources. Once developed, these models can then be applied as is or tailored to facilitate the accomplishment of organizational objectives.

JO - Human Resource Management JF - Human Resource Management Y1 - 2002///Fall2002 VL - 41 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 355 SN - 00904848 AB - The article proposes the use of standardized balanced measures for assessing the performance and results of the U.S. federal agencies. Since most federal agencies do not have an easily identifiable bottom line, use of balanced measures provides more realistic information on agency effectiveness, especially when linked to the strategic plans required by the U.S. Government Performance and Results Act. Since government is funded mostly on a program-by-program basis, cost-benefit analysis is frequently used to determine a program's viability. Cost-benefit analysis enumerates all costs and benefits of a specific project and evaluates them in dollar terms. Return on Investment analysis is a more sophisticated version of cost-benefit analysis and takes into account a program's costs and benefits and calculates the amount of return that the program produces. It also considers intangibles produced as a result of the program. The Balanced Scorecard method of measuring organizational effectiveness provides an alternative to more research-oriented approaches, which often include cumbersome models with multiple intervening variables split between a macro-and micro focus.

Also, the study examined the effects of conscientiousness and cognitive ability on adverse impact. Participants were cashiers under 40 years of age. Results indicated that conscientiousness provided incremental validity over cognitive ability in the prediction of several performance criteria. Specifically, conscientiousness had the highest increases in validity over cognitive ability in the prediction of contextual performance factors (e.g., contextual performance, customer service orientation, dealing with others). However, the addition of conscientiousness failed to ameliorate the adverse impact associated with cognitive ability. In addition, limitations of the study and future directions of research are addressed.

AB - The current study investigated the hypothesis that groups scoring High, Medium, and Low on Environmental Responsibility would have significantly different materialism profiles using the Materialism Values Scale and the Possession Satisfaction Inventory. 271 undergraduate students (aged 18-50 yrs) completed the ECOSCALE and the measures of materialism for partial course credit. The results indicate that the 3 groups had significantly different materialism profiles. More specifically, the High Environmental Responsibility group scored significantly lower than the Low Environmental Responsibility group on the 3 subscales of the MVS and the PSI, and significantly lower than the Medium Environmental Responsibility group on 2 of the MVS subscales and the PSI. These results provide further support for the contention that the groups scoring differently on Environmental Responsibility differ in the way they view others and the environment as evidenced by the differences in their personality, values, and materialism profiles.

(The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2001-00159-003[/rid].) This article summarizes evidence and issues associated with psychological assessment. Data from more than 125 meta-analyses on test validity and 800 samples examining multimethod assessment suggest 4 general conclusions: (a) Psychological test validity is strong and compelling, (b) psychological test validity is comparable to medical test validity, (c) distinct assessment methods provide unique sources of information, and (d) clinicians who rely exclusively on interviews are prone to incomplete understandings. Following principles for optimal nomothetic research, the authors suggest that a multimethod assessment battery provides a structured means for skilled clinicians to maximize the validity of individualized assessments. Future investigations should move beyond an examination of test scales to focus more on the role of psychologists who use tests as helpful tools to furnish patients and referral sources with professional consultation.

AB - This study examined the effect of applicants' reactions to selection measures on complaint intentions and perceptions of organizational attractiveness. Despite recent challenges to selection tests for invasion of privacy, limited research has examined the link between specific reactions and potential legal challenges. As predicted, perceived invasiveness was significantly related to perceived likelihood of complaints for three selection measures. Further, perceived job relatedness was negatively related to likelihood of complaints for a test battery and a math test, but not for an integrity test. On the other hand, neither job relatedness nor invasiveness was significantly related to organizational attractiveness for any of the tests. Limitations and implications for future research are discussed.

Survey data from 2032 nurses in 19 hospitals were obtained. External locus of control positively related to job stress, and this relationship was different across countries. Type A was positively related to stress in Italy, Israel, and USA, though the correlations were not significantly different from each other across countries. Nurses in nations endorsing hierarchy (e.g., USA) had greater Internal control, but nurses in nations that had a low endorsement for Intellectual autonomy reported higher Type A behavior. Finally, being Type A and having external locus of control was the most common and detrimental personality combination affecting job stress, though it was worse in cultures not endorsing external control.

AB - In this study we tested for a nonlinear relation between Conscientiousness and job performance using two independent samples of clerical employees (N=192, and N=203, respectively). Based on several characteristics of clerical positions, we expected that Conscientiousness would be asymptotically related to job performance. In Study 1, we found evidence of a nonlinear relation using biodata and situational judgment items to measure Conscientiousness. In Study 2, we found similar results using a traditional Conscientiousness measure and controlling for cognitive ability. We discuss the implications for using Conscientiousness to select clerical employees.

Employment commitment, job-search self-efficacy, and motivational control were hypothesized to moderate the procedural fairness– job-pursuit intentions relationship while controlling for pretest attitudes and perceived performance. Applicants ( N=291) for entry-level clerical jobs with large federal agencies completed pretest and posttest surveys. Results suggested that only job-search self-efficacy and motivational control moderated the relationship between perceived procedural fairness and job-pursuit intentions. The relationship was stronger for applicants with higher levels of job-search self-efficacy and lower levels of motivational control.

AB - Federal Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) have a long history of intervention in emergency situations, and their role has expanded since September 11, 2001. There is considerable evidence on the importance of organizational factors such as social support in protecting disaster victims from the psychological effects of trauma. The authors recommend that EAPs become integrally involved in organizations' emergency planning processes, so that such supports can be built into all aspects of plans. EA professionals should function as organizational consultants, not simply as helpers who will eventually care for those affected. Two federally based case studies provide examples of EA professionals who have successfully used such an approach in their respective organizations.

AB - We develop a framework of service-unit behavior that begins with a unit's leader's service-focused behavior and progresses through intermediate links (service climate and customer-focused organizational citizenship behavior) to customer satisfaction and then unit sales. Data from a sample of 56 supermarket departments provide at least moderate support for our mediational hypotheses. We discuss findings with a particular focus on the relationship between internal organization functioning and external effectiveness in service settings. In addition, several issues related to testing for mediation using quantitative analysis are identified and discussed.

AB - Because we are practitioner members on the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations (CREIO), other practitioners frequently seek our guidance when a CEO or agency head determines that emotional intelligence (EI) should be integrated into the leadership selection and development programs for their organizations. Earlier chapters of this book have addressed this issue and others; however, in this chapter, we intend to provide practitioners with guidance on what steps need to be taken to bring emotional intelligence into their organizations. We provide descriptions of a series of real-world applications and the resulting business issues that emerged. In each case, let us be clear, that although our focus is on application (i.e., how you do it), there is always an underlying research foundation. We conclude this chapter by providing some recommendations regarding future directions for a practitioner's research agenda.

AB - The Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program represents one of many examples of the Federal Government's ability to develop and implement long-term, wide-ranging human resources initiatives. Originally called the Presidential Management Intern Program, this program has been in existence for approximately 25 years with over 3500 alumni. Annually, PMF represents a major undertaking for the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which closely coordinates with many other Federal agencies who assist in the assessment center portion of the selection process. PMF is intended to attract and select graduate-level students to the Federal Government. It uses a multiple-hurdle selection strategy that includes a nomination process, an accomplishment record, and an assessment center. The program is wide-reaching in that it addresses many aspects of the human resources management process including recruitment, selection, career development and training, and succession planning. This article presents a brief overview of the evolution of the PMF Program and its legislative history, a description of Program recruitment and branding efforts, the selection process, and career development initiatives associated with the PMF Program.

AB - This study uses implementation research and case study methodologies to evaluate the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service's Youth Initiative in four communities. In each location, information technology was used to involve stakeholders in developing solutions to the youth violence problem. The purpose of this article is to document the different approaches to program development and implementation across cases and provide feedback to policy makers and program stakeholders that can be used to make future improvements. The programs are assessed using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Best Practices of Youth Violence Prevention, and feedback for improvement is provided. The biggest successes include assessing the nature and extent of youth violence in local communities, identifying those who would benefit from intervention, and deciding how to reach out to participants. Establishing clear goals proved to be the biggest challenge.

AB - Reviews the book, Creating a mentoring culture: The organization's guide by Lois Zachary (2005). This book addresses the need for organizations to take action toward creating environments that foster and support mentoring. She describes this work as 'a pragmatic guide for assisting organizations and individuals as they implement the work of creating a mentoring culture'. Thus, this work will have its greatest impact on leaders, human capital officers, human resource specialists, and consultants-individuals whose positions empower them to influence the culture of their organization. The author's insight on what it means for an organization to embrace a mentoring culture provides a lively read. However, those who take this book from their nightstand into the workplace-those who truly use it as guidebook-should come to realize its full value. This is an engaging, motivating, and practical guide that holds promise for impacting organizations as few books can. The author provides tools for identifying hidden values and deeply imbedded processes that affect mentoring cultures.

AB - This study used a fairness theory approach to examine a link between applicants' perceptions and their actual reapplication behavior. We suggested that applicants who do not receive job offers form 'Would' counterfactuals based on perceived performance and 'Should' counterfactuals based on two procedural justice rules (job relatedness and opportunity to perform). Participants (N = 542) were applicants for a United States federal government position. After not being hired in the initial selection process, 9% of the applicants reapplied for the job the following year. We found some support for the hypothesized interactions. The job relatedness-perceived performance interaction was not significant, but the opportunity to perform-perceived performance interaction was. Opportunity to perform had a stronger influence when perceived performance was higher.

Issue Publication Date: Aut 2009. AB - Reviews the book The perils of accentuating the positive by Robert B. Kaiser (Editor, 2009). The strengths-only approach was revolutionary 20 years ago when the psychology of development and the nature of business were less sophisticated. Kudos to the strengths pioneers. Coaching changed too, from 'fixing toxic behaviors' 10 years ago to developing interpersonal competencies aligned with business needs today. Kudos to the Perils authors for advancing professional practice beyond outdated all-or-nothing marketing claims. After Perils, consulting’s 'best practice' answer for management is build competencies and rehabilitate weaknesses, as neither approach alone suffices. Perils is necessary reading to align the consulting process, the actual 'truth about you,' and business and personal goals. Change is difficult, success more elusive still. Only those committed to self-awareness, rehabilitation, and building will continue along that path toward what they seek.

AB - This casebook is designed for use in various types of instructional applications, such as a supplementary text in undergraduate and graduate measurement courses in various disciplines using assessment instruments; as a source of actual test use vignettes for inservice training and continuing education programs in institutions, schools, and businesses, and as a resource in other individual and group education or training programs in which there is a need for actual instances, or examples, of good and poor test use. Instructors may use Table 1.1, which is designed to cross-reference the case studies to topics typically covered in various types of measurement courses. Table 1.1 may also be used to identify case studies that correspond to continuing education unit course topics or in-service training sessions. Likewise, individuals preparing for certification and licensure examinations may find Table 1.1a good entry point for study. The case studies are particularly well suited to the study of issues of professional responsibility and ethical conduct. Cases may be selected to illustrate various ethical principles by the members of various organizations involved in professional training. Certain of the case studies lend themselves well to the development of organizational and policy statements to prevent the recurrence of various test misuses, and individuals who are studying these ethical principles may be asked to draft policy statements for discussion with other colleagues participating in ethics training. Individuals preparing for the oral portion of certification and licensure exams may find that the focus questions in each case study provide valuable practice.

Increased use of tests has almost certainly resulted in increased test misuse that adversely affects the lives of test takers. Here, we present two brief examples of such misuse that have come about in the past decade. Next, we review several professional organizations' ethical guidelines on test use to show how each has attempted to address improper test use. Finally, we present the elements and competencies of good test use, which constitute an important taxonomy of the behaviors required in the knowledgeable use of tests, and a summary of the research used to develop them.

Test misuse can be substantially reduced through training in test policy, selection, administration, scoring, interpretation, and reporting. Responsible Test Use: Case Studies for Assessing Human Behavior, Second Edition, is an interdisciplinary reference source for promoting quality assurance in testing. It consists of 85 training cases that illustrate a variety of problems related to test use. Twenty-eight of the cases in this edition are new. Each case is drawn from real life and includes (a) a description of the incident, (b) focus questions to encourage active involvement with issues raised by the case, (c) an analysis of the problems posed plus possible ways of better handling the situation, and (d) a listing of empirically derived dimensions of test misuse that are likely to generalize to new testing situations. Cases developed for this edition represent three test settings that were not covered in the previous edition: computer and Internet testing formats, forensic, and cross-cultural-English language learners. In addition, revised cases cover counseling and training, education, employment, mental health, neuropsychology, and speech-language-hearing settings. This book is intended for use as a supplementary textbook in undergraduate and graduate measurement courses and for trainers of specialized assessment practitioners, such as school psychologists and educational diagnosticians. It can also serve as a valuable tool for in-service training or continuing education, for licensing exam preparation, and as a resource for other individuals committed to improving assessment practices.

AB - Counterproductive work behavior (CWB) has been a problem since organizations have hired employees. Recently, there has been increasing interest in explaining and addressing deviant behavior in the workplace. Our review of the research on CWBs shows a gap between theory development and the development of procedures to address deviant behavior. Moreover, studies in, for example, clinical psychology, have relevance for understanding CWBs, but cross-fertilization with other relevant literatures is not in evidence. We summarize the contributions of three relatively distinct lines of research. We contend that current dimensional personality theories should guide the implementation of interventions seeking to reduce CWBs. We describe validity studies that incorporate the development of employee selection procedures based on the assumption that CWBs should be anchored within a dimensional model and we present empirical results that support the utility of that model.

The article raises serious challenges for cross-discipline work between judgment and decision-making (JDM) researchers and industrial-organizational and organizational behavior (IOOB) scientist-practitioners. In our opinion, the focal article falls short of its goal to educate and influence IOOB scientist-practitioners for three reasons: It does not give due credence to the knowledge base of IOOB, it overlooks several blind spots of JDM, and IOOB has already absorbed many JDM concepts. We spend the balance of this response indicating six serious challenges to IOOB-JDM collaboration.

AB - [Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 29(1) of Journal of Business and Psychology (see record [rid]2014-05840-011[/rid]). In the original article, there was an error in the standard error formula for the significance test for a₄ (the surface that represents the curvature of the X = –Y as related to Z line). The corrected formula is present in the erratum.] Polynomial regression with response surface analysis is a sophisticated statistical approach that has become increasingly popular in multisource feedback research (e.g., self-observer rating discrepancy). The approach allows researchers to examine the extent to which combinations of two predictor variables relate to an outcome variable, particularly in the case when the discrepancy (difference) between the two predictor variables is a central consideration. We believe this approach has potential for application to a wide variety of research questions. To enhance interest and use of this technique, we provide ideas for future research directions that might benefit from the application of this analytic tool. We also walk through a step-by-step example of how to conduct polynomial regression and response surface analysis and provide all the tools you will need to do the analyses and graph the results (including SPSS syntax, formulas, and a downloadable Excel spreadsheet). Our example involves how discrepancies in perceived supervisor and organizational support relate to affective commitment. Finally, we discuss how this approach is a better, more informative alternative to difference scores and can be applied to the examination of two-way interactions in moderated regression.

Matthews (see record [rid]2011-19614-014[/rid]). In a timely challenge to the work-family research community, Kossek, Baltes, and Matthews have urged us to support work-family policy implementation through research with a purpose. The question raised by the authors is increasingly critical: With so many people in the workforce struggling to integrate often conflicting life roles, why are work-family programs under utilized, and what can be done to change this situation? This commentary is meant to expand upon some of the crucial points made by Kossek and her colleagues and to address practical issues surrounding the implementation and utilization of work-life programs: building cultures of support, addressing management resistance, ensuring sufficiently broad research frames, and demonstrating the organizational return on investment in work-family programs.

Data from five samples were collected (Total N = 4332) using three different measures of optimism and five different measures of the Big Five. Results indicated strong positive relationships between optimism and four of the Big Five factors: Emotional Stability, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness. Agreeableness and Conscientiousness explained additional variance in dispositional optimism over and above Neuroticism and Extraversion, providing evidence for the complexity of optimism. The position of optimism in the larger web of human personality constructs is discussed.

AB - Reviews the book, What's Next, Gen X? Keeping Up, Moving Ahead, and Getting the Career You Want by Tamara Erickson (2010). It is as difficult for demographers to discuss individual psychology as it is for psychologists to discuss population demographics. Erickson attempts to cast her sociology at both levels. Unfortunately, her macro approach meshes poorly with her career development advice. 'Gen X' is marketing category terminology that describes the people within its purview about as well as 'IQ' describes intelligence or the 'Big Five' describes personality or a well-known pseudo-Jungian typology describes anything. Much of the book’s demographic-level material uses this fortune cookie imperative voice that is meant to educate 'us' as to what defines 'us' as a generation. The defining leitmotifs of Gen X, according to Erickson, include self-reliance, accumulating money, being good parents, having friends, and a desire for balanced work/personal life. Erickson improves when she focuses on specifics of career development advice for those who happen to be somewhere between several years out of college to midcareer professionals. Because one of Erickson's strengths as an author is aggregation of other people's ideas, chapters on personal development, changing organizational models, and career options are not new but are conveniently collated here and should provide those in the target audience some good perspectives on career strategy. There are three reasons why one would read this book. First, this is the type of B-school pulp factoid gumbo that becomes the basis for what managers 'know.' Twenty percent of these books are really good, 80% are not. The value of books such as What's Next? is to help consultants anticipate and reeducate the management corps. In addition, according to the book's page on Amazon.com, Erickson has authored comparable books on Baby Boomers and Millennials and is apparently regarded as a 'Top 50 Thinker' by people who create such lists. Finally, human history has at its core the tensions arising from generations rubbing against each other, so gaining insight even from What's Next? assists one in being more articulate about human nature at work; as the French say, si jeunesse savait, si vieillesse puvait ('if the young only knew, if the old only could,' Estienne, late 1500s).

AB - The purpose of this study was to investigate whether worker-oriented job analysis importance ratings were influenced by subject matter experts’ (SME) standing (as measured by self-rated performance) on a competency. This type of relationship (whereby SMEs indicate that the traits they have are important for successful job performance) is an example of the self-serving bias (which is widely described in the social cognition literature and rarely described in the industrial/organizational psychology literature). An archival dataset covering 57 clerical and technical occupations with 26,682 participants was used. Support was found for the relationship between self-rated performance and importance ratings. Significant relationships (typically in the .30s) were observed for all 31 competencies that were studied. Controls were taken to account for common method bias and differences in the competencies required for each of the 57 occupations. Past research has demonstrated the effects of the self-serving bias on personality-based job analysis ratings. This study was the first to extend these findings to traditional job analysis, which covers other competencies in addition to personality. In addition, this study is the first to use operational field data instead of laboratory data.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - The relationship between affect and job performance has been the topic of previous meta-analytic investigations. However, these studies have been limited by their focus on only one form of affect, trait dimensional affect, or failure to differentiate between various forms of affect, such as state affect and emotions. The present study extends past research by meta-analytically examining the association between state dimensional affect and discrete emotions and three dimensions of job performance, task performance, organizational citizenship behavior, and counterproductive work behavior. In addition, we examined subgroup differences according to the temporal consistency of performance and affect measurement, and we reviewed studies that assessed the affect–performance link using within-person analyses in the context of experience sampling designs.

AB - Description: The Cognitions about Rewards, Recognition and Promotion Measure (Kaplan, Luchman, & Mock, 2013) was developed within the context of a large-scale survey of the factors that impact the subjective quality of life of recruiters in the United States Military. Cognitions about rewards, recognition and promotion are widely accepted as a specific facet or aspect of job satisfaction. As such, the measure consisted of a set of 4 items that assessed the extent to which success or high performance at recruiting is rewarded and recognized. Items (e.g., 'I have the opportunity for an award for production') were rated on a 5-point scale, with a not applicable option. The measure was administered in 2005 and 2008 to a sample of recruiters. The coefficient alphas were .62 for 2005 and .69 for 2008.

This study explored how 1 such event, the 2009/2010 influenza (H1N1) pandemic, impacted health care utilization and associated costs in the Military Health System. Methods: Data from the Military Data Repository were used to examine diagnoses, claims data, and dates of services with respect to military or civilian care during 2004-2009/2010 influenza seasons. Comparison analysis was conducted through two-tailed t-tests and regression models. Results: There was a significant increase in inpatient and outpatient health care utilization during the 2009/2010 H1N1 pandemic year, most markedly for emergency department visits. The 2009/2010 H1N1 pandemic cost the Department of Defense $100 million compared to influenza-related health care costs incurred in previous influenza seasons. Highest health care utilization costs were found in children less than age 5. The greatest cost burden was attributed to immunizations for active duty personnel delivered at military facilities. Conclusion: Annual trend analysis of costs and health care utilization would be helpful to plan and resource emerging influenza pandemics and to identify subgroups at greatest risk for contracting influenza.

AB - The federal government has successfully experimented with a variety of performance- based pay (PBP) systems for more than 30 years. However, the first large-scale expansion of PBP to civilians in the Department of Defense, through the National Security Personnel System (NSPS) and its subsequent repeal by Congress, have resulted in a setback for PBP and renewed debate over the merits of merit pay in the federal government. This article reviews theory related to PBP and documents historical results of PFP projects in the federal government. Longitudinal survey results from five major PBP demonstration projects and NSPS are compared on key concepts and analyzed by demographic subgroups. Hofstede's cultural dimension of individualism-collectivism is used to explain reasons for ongoing resistance to PBP, especially from labor unions.

The authors agree with Hays-Thomas and Bendick that industrial–organizational (I–O) psychologists can provide valuable insight for professional standards on diversity and inclusion (D & I) practice in organizations. As Hays-Thomas and Bendick note, D & I is a newly emerging field that has not yet developed formal undergraduate and graduate programs of study, as have other fields. This is seen in academic settings when students create customized programs of study using resources from multiple departments within a university or when new programs of study are created using faculty and courses from multiple departments. Regardless of one’s stance on the concept of race, it is evident that sociologists have a richer literature on the topic, as do the other disciplines. Therefore, authors recommend that D & I efforts emphasize the inclusion of experts from diverse academic disciplines.

AB - The federal government has successfully experimented with a variety of performance-based pay (PBP) systems for more than 30 years. However, the first large-scale expansion of PBP to civilians in the Department of Defense, through the National Security Personnel System (NSPS) and its subsequent repeal by Congress, have resulted in a setback for PBP and renewed debate over the merits of merit pay in the federal government. This article reviews theory related to PBP and documents historical results of PFP projects in the federal government. Longitudinal survey results from five major PBP demonstration projects and NSPS are compared on key concepts and analyzed by demographic subgroups. Hofstede's cultural dimension of individualism–collectivism is used to explain reasons for ongoing resistance to PBP, especially from labor unions.

The 19 chapters in this book version of two 2006 symposia at Educational Testing Service, which also spawned a special issue in 2011 of the journal Human Performance, attempt with mixed success to assess the nature of faking on self-report measures of personality. Researchers seem drawn to the subject of faking in self-report because faking technology, such as social desirability scales, generate data that allow for a bit of moralizing. Faking can also be reliably manipulated in psychology research labs under instructions to 'fake good.' The title of the book unintentionally hints at the problems with which the authors wrestle. Specifically, the most disappointing aspect of this book is that the authors rely on a presumed common understanding about what faking and personality are. In short, a theory of personality is necessary before faking can be properly understood. One closes New Perspectives on Faking in Personality Assessment wiser but still unsure whether Nessie is out there or what to do about her.

AB - Researchers investigate relationships between well-being variables and the antecedents to well-being by examining statistical results from survey data. A common measurement approach in survey designs is to include measures of more specific aspects (i.e., facets) and more global assessments of well-being in the same survey. Research shows, however, that the sequence of specific and general measures within the survey affects the magnitude of relationships between specific and general measures. In the current study, we extend such general-specific sequence research by offering an alternative explanation for the occurrence of such sequence effects. Specifically, we propose that having the specific measure before the more general one can shift the mean-level of the specific measure toward the extremes, thereby yielding restricted variance and, ultimately, attenuated correlations between the two measures. We test our proposal on two separate samples examining job-related well-being. Our findings show that the general-specific measure relationship is stronger and the mean-level of satisfaction is lower when the general measure is read first. Our findings suggest important theoretical implications for the study and measurement of well-being. Most importantly, our study suggests that placing general measures before specific measures could avoid sequence-related bias.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Attention in the personality test faking literature has been directed toward research designs in which job applicants complete a personality test, fail to get the job, and subsequently retest. This article highlights the extent to which inferences drawn from studies using the retest-after-failure research design address the extent and prevalence of applicant faking. Results from several studies using this design are reviewed, revealing an enormous range of findings. We simulate two aspects of the assessment context that can explain the discrepancy in previous results. The simulation systematically varies the weight given to personality in the assessment battery and the selection ratio to investigate their effects on personality retest scores. Results are useful for interpreting previous findings and understanding settings in which retest improvement occurs.

(see record [rid]2013-40988-018[/rid]). Lindsey, King, Dunleavy, McCausland, and Jones (2013) describe several individual and organizational strategies for eliminating workplace discrimination. Although these are important and valuable suggestions, the author would argue that their list should be improved with an important extension: Organizations should be encouraged to focus their attention on the organization’s strategic approach to diversity management. Macrolevel forces of strategy occupy a critical role for supporting diversity beyond implementing policies at the organizational level such as diversity training programs, compensation packages, and career development programs. Organizations are more likely to effectively eliminate discrimination when they incorporate macrolevel factors in conjunction with the strategies mentioned by Lindsey et al. At the same time, practitioners must recognize that an organization’s strategic stance toward diversity can promote discrimination through a variety of manifestations depending on the organization’s strategic model of diversity, often derived from an overall cultural ideology (e.g., colorblindness or multiculturalism). It is not the purpose of this commentary to advocate for a particular ideological approach but rather point out the importance of adopting a strategic management approach and the pitfalls of failing to consider how grounding diversity models in particular cultural ideologies might also lead to unintended negative consequences, including perceptions of exclusion, diversity resistance, and discrimination. Organizations often are not aware of the potential negative consequences they may be imposing on their workforce when creating their strategies around diversity, despite having good intentions of supporting diversity in the workplace. This commentary serves as a call to action for scholars and practitioners to develop and test strategic models of diversity.

Results-based management approaches point to the goal alignment’s importance in performance management programs for meeting organizational goals. This research examines the extent to which federal agency organizational factors allow for performance appraisal goal alignment. Goal alignment is operationalized in two ways: embedding of strategic plan goals into employee performance plans and employee knowledge of how their work relates to the agency’s goals and priorities. Using data from U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s evaluation of federal agency appraisal programs, results indicate leadership support of the program is a determining factor of plan alignment. Communication of the organization’s goals, the climate fit for achieving results, and whether the strategic plan was written for the agency program level tend to predict employee alignment. Strategic plan level is particularly important for strategic management literature, which has limited empirical evidence for the effectiveness of program-level strategic plans.

AB - Reports an error in 'Polynomial regression with response surface analysis: A powerful approach for examining moderation and overcoming limitations of difference scores' by Linda Rhoades Shanock, Benjamin E. Baran, William A. Gentry, Stacy Clever Pattison and Eric D. Heggestad (Journal of Business and Psychology, 2010[Dec], Vol 25[4], 543-554). In the original article, there was an error in the standard error formula for the significance test for a₄ (the surface that represents the curvature of the X = –Y as related to Z line). The corrected formula is present in the erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2010-23008-001[/rid]). Polynomial regression with response surface analysis is a sophisticated statistical approach that has become increasingly popular in multisource feedback research (e.g., self-observer rating discrepancy). The approach allows researchers to examine the extent to which combinations of two predictor variables relate to an outcome variable, particularly in the case when the discrepancy (difference) between the two predictor variables is a central consideration. We believe this approach has potential for application to a wide variety of research questions. To enhance interest and use of this technique, we provide ideas for future research directions that might benefit from the application of this analytic tool. We also walk through a step-by-step example of how to conduct polynomial regression and response surface analysis and provide all the tools you will need to do the analyses and graph the results (including SPSS syntax, formulas, and a downloadable Excel spreadsheet). Our example involves how discrepancies in perceived supervisor and organizational support relate to affective commitment. Finally, we discuss how this approach is a better, more informative alternative to difference scores and can be applied to the examination of two-way interactions in moderated regression.

The magnitude and scope of their responsibilities and obligations under GPRMA have led some agencies either to create senior performance councils or to modify the role of existing councils to manage more effectively their goals and objectives, within the cultural constraints and unique leadership styles of each agency. This study analyzes a select number of agency senior performance councils, focusing on how they help agencies to accomplish the requirements of GPRMA, achieve goals and objectives, and address an array of emerging organizational performance needs. The experience of these agencies provides several recommendations and promising practices that other agencies could replicate or modify to fit their unique organizational structures and operations.

Using data from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's 2011 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, we investigate whether early responding employees differ from later responding employees. Specifically, we examine differences in item and index scores related to employee engagement and global satisfaction. Our findings show that early responders tend to be less positive, even after adjusting their weights for nonresponse. Agencies vary in their prevalence of late responders, and score differences become magnified as this proportion increases. We also examine the extent to which early versus late responders differ on demographic characteristics such as grade level, supervisory status, gender, tenure with agency, and intention to leave, noting that nonminorities and females are the two demographic characteristics most associated with responding early.

AB - Comments on the article 'Corrections for criterion reliability in validity generalization: A false prophet in a land of suspended judgment' by J. M. LeBreton, K. T. Scherer, & L. R. James (see record [rid]2014-57725-002[/rid]). In this commentary we answer three questions that are often posed when debating the usefulness and accuracy of correcting criterion-related validity coefficients for unreliability: (a) Is .52 an inaccurate estimate? (b) Do corrections for criterion unreliability lead us to choose different selection tools? (c) Is too much variance explained? LeBreton, Scherer, and James (2014) argue that the statistical value our field typically uses for corrections for attenuation of performance ratings appears to be 'too low' (p. 497). However, as with any empirical finding, Viswesvaran, Ones, and Schmidt’s (1996) meta-analytic estimate of .52 (k =40, N=14,650) to represent the interrater reliability for a single supervisor’s rating of job performance is both testable and falsifiable. Accordingly, we are unaware of any evidence that directly contradicts this estimate. In fact, .52 is consistent with previous estimates, including Conway and Huffcutt’s (1997) separate meta-analytic estimate of .50 (k =69, N=10,369); Rothstein’s (1990) asymptotic estimate of .55 (for duty ratings); Hunter’s (1983) estimate of .60; King, Hunter, and Schmidt’s (1980) estimate of .60; and Scullen, Mount, and Sytsma’s (1996) estimate of .45. Given that LeBreton et al. do not appear to take issue with the use of interrater reliability (rather than intrarater reliability) as the conceptually appropriate estimate for unreliability corrections for performance ratings (we refer interested readers to the exchange between Murphy & DeShon, 2000 and Schmidt, Viswesvaran, & Ones, 2000 for more information on this issue), the current evidence is robust regarding the accuracy of the .52 estimate.

This research examines the extent to which goal alignment in federal agency performance appraisal programs enhances organizational performance. Two aspects of goal alignment are explored: actual embedding of organizational goals in performance plans (plan alignment) and employees’ knowledge of how their work relates to the agency’s goals and priorities (employee alignment). Results indicate employee alignment increases organizational performance whereas plan alignment does not. Strategic management proponents should take note of this outcome. Furthermore, the overall quality of a performance appraisal program moderates the alignment and organizational performance relationship. Under conditions of high- and low-performance appraisal program expectations, employee alignment can influence organizational performance, but not as expected.

AB - Little is known about the reliability of college grades relative to how prominently they are used in educational research, and the results to date tend to be based on small sample studies or are decades old. This study uses two large databases (N > 800,000) from over 200 educational institutions spanning 13 years and finds that both first‐year and overall college GPA can be expected to be highly reliable measures of academic performance, with reliability estimated at .86 for first‐year GPA and .93 for overall GPA. Additionally, reliabilities vary moderately by academic discipline, and within‐school grade intercorrelations are highly stable over time. These findings are consistent with a hierarchical structure of academic ability. Practical implications for decision making and measurement using GPA are discussed.
