Description

This is the second of three volumes that, taken together, aim to provide a comprehensive treatment of both selection and classification processes in personnel testing. The authors summarize the major theories and research findings in both areas and discuss the central topics involved in the practical prediction of job performance, including the validity and utility models, and research strategies and designs. Based on their analysis, they introduce a new theory, the differential assignment theory, and explain its contribution to the efficient operation of selection and classification procedures.
