Description

What makes a "successful" individual give up a coveted position While organizations fill positions with applicants who have the best potential for performance, they neglect to consider whether the applicants will find gratification in their work. The adverse consequences of faulty personnel selection are extremely costly to both the company and the individual. This book explores the notions, themes, methods, and procedures of organization staffing. It incorporates these ideas into a functional and integral conceptual framework. Written for industrial and organizational psychologists, human resource and organizational staffing personnel, the author's goal is to increase the probability of correct staffing decisions, thereby optimizing work adjustment and organizational productivity. The Work Adjustment Theory provides a theoretical framework for this discussion on matching employees to organizational jobs. The author devises approaches and techniques to measure both the "correspondence" of the individual to the requirements of the job and the "correspondence" of the job to the individual's work related needs. He describes how to change the traditional staffing process to attain these two goals concurrently.
