    Improving Participants' Evaluations while Maintaining Validity by a Work Sample- Intelligence Test Hybrid (2004)

    Notes: A type of selection measure is presented which combines the psychometric characteristics of an intelligence test with the surface and content validity characteristics of a work sample for clerical occupations. Consequently, this measure – AZUBI-BK – is more positively evaluated by participants than a conventional measure of general mental ability (N=1375). Preferences for the work sample-intelligence test hybrid applied for potential applicants from different school types, for job-experienced as well as for inexperienced subjects and for members of the ethnic majority as well as for ethnic minorities. AZUBI-BK showed high correlations with total scores (uncorrected r=.77 and .73) and corresponding factors of two intelligence tests, respectively. Criterion-related validity was equal to the reference measure in predicting theoretical examinations (uncorrected r=.61) and higher in predicting supervisory ratings (uncorrected r=.43). In the latter case, the new instrument shows incremental validity over an intelligence test but not vice versa; in a regression equation, AZUBI-BK can fully account for the variance in supervisory assessment. Adverse impact of AZUBI-BK for ethnic minorities is small which, however, was also true for a conventional intelligence test.

    The Moderating Effect of Raters’ Opportunities to Observe Ratees' Job Performance on the Validity of an Assessment Centre (1999)

    Notes: Previous research has suggested that the quality of judgmental validation criteria may improve depending on the increase of opportunity for the rater to observe ratees’ job performances. This study investigated whether the validity of an assessment centre increases with opportunity to observe. Subjects were engineers and applied scientists from the Research and Development (R&D) units of seven German high-technology companies.A total of 6 personality scales, 10 cognitive ability tests and 9 work samples was administered to 155 subjects. Performance appraisals were collected from their supervisors. Assessors were trained organizational psychologists who were not members of the participating organizations. A total score (‘assessment centre score’) was computed by averaging the 25 predictors after standardization of each predictor. The (uncorrected) validity of this assessment centre was r = 0.37. In addition, opportunity to observe (i.e. amount of time the performance rater was the ratee’s supervisor) emerged as a moderator: for example validities were r = 0.09 (opportunity to observe ≤ 2 years) and r = 0.50 (opportunity to observe〉 2 years).

    Validity of Stimulus and Response Components in a Video Test of Social Competence (1998)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd
    International journal of selection and assessment 6 (1998), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1468-2389
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Various stimulus components (video, orally-presented questions) and response components (multiple-choice, written, orally-given replies) of situational judgement tests of occupational social competency were investigated as to their impact upon the validity for a behavior-oriented role playing criterion while keeping test content constant. The stimulus component video alone had no impact upon validity. The response components contributed to validity. Validity increased with improved fidelity of response components. Concerning stimulus-response-combinations, the validity of two video tests (r = 0.17 and r = 0.36) was not higher than the validity of similar oral questioning (r = 0.13 and r = 0.37) but was significantly lower than a situational interview (r = 0.59). Response fidelity proved to be a bottleneck regarding validity of video tests. As a result, it is recommended that, in order to maximize validity of video and multimedia efforts, the developers of video- and multimedia tests focus special attention on response fidelity.

    The Conceptual Basis of Assessment Centre Ratings (2001)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd
    International journal of selection and assessment 9 (2001), S. 0

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Although assessment centres exhibit good content- and satisfactory criterion-related validity results, poor outcome is derived from construct-oriented validity studies. Twenty years of research on this topic have not changed the basic results. Important for the relationship between different assessments is not whether they grasp the same managerial dimension but whether they were obtained through the same exercise. The discussion presented in this article emphasizes among other reasons the conceptual specialties of assessment centre rating dimensions. All too hastily they are given the same status as traditional personality traits. Two studies are extensively described to clarify this argument. The first study utilizes a structural equation approach to demonstrate that commonly utilized AC dimensions differ in the realized degree of trait-like consistency. The second study investigates the linkage between AC outcomes and traditional trait constructs utilizing a meta-analytical approach. The highest correlations result for intelligence scores, social competence, achievement motivation, self-confidence, and dominance measures. In the conclusion, the conceptual differences between trait (= sign-) and simulation (= sample-) oriented assessment approaches are highlighted.

    Measuring Counterproductivity: Development and Initial Validation of a German Self-Report Questionnaire (2002)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd
    International journal of selection and assessment 10 (2002), S. 0

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This article describes the development and initial construct validation of a comprehensive self-report measure of workplace counterproductivity. The instrument contains subscales for different targets of counterproductivity (organizational and interpersonal deviance, Robinson and Bennett 1995) as well as for different forms of manifestation (absenteeism, substance use, aggression, and theft, respectively) An empirical study (N = 174), conducted in one manufacturing and one retail organization, confirmed the intended internal structure by means of confirmatory factor analysis. Counterproductivity may best be described as a higher-order behavioural construct loading on subdimensions carrying unique variance. In addition, an examination of outside variables showed that the best predictor of counterproductivity was self-control, followed by integrity, whereas cognitive ability was largely unrelated to the construct. The opposite pattern of correlations occurred for productive performance behaviours, indicating that counterproductivity is a unique construct within the performance domain. Differences and similarities between the present measure and a recent independent development by Bennett and Robinson (2000) are discussed, along with conclusions for future research on the topic.
