Book Synopsis Context Effects in Job Evaluation by : Joseph Matthew Madden
Download or read book Context Effects in Job Evaluation written by Joseph Matthew Madden and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judgments may be distorted by a variety of influences. One potent influence is the context in which the object judged is place. When a list of jobs is being evaluated in a job-evaluation program, each job is presented to the rater in the context of all the remaining jobs on the list. This study demonstrates that jobs may be listed together in such a way as to seriously bias evaluation scores. When a list is composed of all high-value jobs, the obtained evaluation scores were lower than the "true" ones. When a list was composed of all low-value jobs, the evaluation scores were higher. On lists containing a majority of high-value jobs, the low-value jobs were judged even lower; and the reverse was true when the list contained a majority of low-value jobs. Other types of context effects were also observed. Suggestions were made for the control of context effects in the Air Force job-evaluation program.

Book Synopsis Effect of Degree of Familiarity in Job Evaluation by : Raymond E. Christal
Download or read book Effect of Degree of Familiarity in Job Evaluation written by Raymond E. Christal and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant association between the familiarity of the rater with a job and the ratings he assigns to the job was found for 17 of 50 Air Force specialties. Assuming that the most valid ratings are those given by highly familiar raters, it appears that highly technical jobs tend to be under-evaluated by raters who are unfamiliar with the work performed. On the other hand, some jobs ten to be over-evaluated by raters who are unfamiliar with the work performed. These findings point to the necessity for controlling the level of familiarity when job evaluation is conducted.

Book Synopsis Pay for Performance by : National Research Council
Download or read book Pay for Performance written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pay for performance" has become a buzzword for the 1990s, as U.S. organizations seek ways to boost employee productivity. The new emphasis on performance appraisal and merit pay calls for a thorough examination of their effectiveness. Pay for Performance is the best resource to date on the issues of whether these concepts work and how they can be applied most effectively in the workplace. This important book looks at performance appraisal and pay practices in the private sector and describes whetherâ€"and howâ€"private industry experience is relevant to federal pay reform. It focuses on the needs of the federal government, exploring how the federal pay system evolved; available evidence on federal employee attitudes toward their work, their pay, and their reputation with the public; and the complicating and pervasive factor of politics.
Book Synopsis The Changing Nature of Work by : National Research Council
Download or read book The Changing Nature of Work written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-09-07 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there is great debate about how work is changing, there is a clear consensus that changes are fundamental and ongoing. The Changing Nature of Work examines the evidence for change in the world of work. The committee provides a clearly illustrated framework for understanding changes in work and these implications for analyzing the structure of occupations in both the civilian and military sectors. This volume explores the increasing demographic diversity of the workforce, the fluidity of boundaries between lines of work, the interdependent choices for how work is structured-and ultimately, the need for an integrated systematic approach to understanding how work is changing. The book offers a rich array of data and highlighted examples on: Markets, technology, and many other external conditions affecting the nature of work. Research findings on American workers and how they feel about work. Downsizing and the trend toward flatter organizational hierarchies. Autonomy, complexity, and other aspects of work structure. The committee reviews the evolution of occupational analysis and examines the effectiveness of the latest systems in characterizing current and projected changes in civilian and military work. The occupational structure and changing work requirements in the Army are presented as a case study.
Book Synopsis Familiarity Effects in Evaluative Judgments by : Joseph M. Madden
Download or read book Familiarity Effects in Evaluative Judgments written by Joseph M. Madden and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is one of a series dealing with rater bias in job evaluation. It was found that the more familiar the rater is with the job being evaluated, the higher his rating is likely to be. This effect was observed for five of the 14 job evaluation rating factors used: Adaptability, Decision-making, Managerial and Supervisory, Mental Work, and Working Conditions. Methods are suggested for controlling the familiarity effect in the Air Force job evaluation system.
Book Synopsis Reliability of Job Evaluation Ratings as a Function of Number of Raters by : Raymond E. Christal
Download or read book Reliability of Job Evaluation Ratings as a Function of Number of Raters written by Raymond E. Christal and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reliabilities of single ratings and pooled ratings of Air Force job evaluation factors were estimated from ratings on 50 Air Force specialties by student officers attending the Command and Staff School. The Spearman-Brown prophecy formula was found to produce reliability estimates which were practically identical to those obtained by randomly drawing samples and computing the reliability for each one. The inter-rater and rate-rerate reliability of the Air Force job evaluation system was found to be adequate when the composites were based upon an average of the ratings made by 10 to 15 officers at the USAF Command and Staff School. The reliability of such mean ratings did not rise appreciably as the number of raters was increased beyond 20. When the basis of rating was a full-length job description, the raters tended to assign higher values than when they based their ratings on a brief Specialty Summary. However, the rank ordering of the specialties remained essentially unchanged. Reliability of the ratings was approximately the same whether long or short job descriptions were used.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Personnel Assessment and Selection by : Neal Schmitt
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Personnel Assessment and Selection written by Neal Schmitt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-15 with total page 992 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employee selection has long stood at the practical forefront of industrial/organizational psychology. Today's social, business, and economic climates require ongoing adaptations by those who select organizations' personnel, and research on the topic helps gauge the impact of these adaptations and their implications for human performance and potential. The Oxford Handbook of Personnel Assessment and Selection codifies the wealth of new research surrounding employee selection (web-based assessments, social networking, globalization of organizations), situating them alongside more traditional practices to establish the best and most relevant research for both professionals and academics. Comprising chapters from authors in both the private sector and academia, this volume is organized into seven parts: (1) historical and social context of the field of assessment and selection; (2) research strategies; (3) individual difference constructs that underlie effective performance; (4) measures of predictor constructs; (5) employee performance and outcome assessment; (6) societal and organizational constraints on selection practice; and (7) implementation and sustainability of selection systems. While providing a comprehensive review of current research and practice, the purpose of this handbook is to provide an up-to-date profile of each of the areas addressed and highlight current questions that deserve additional attention from researchers and practitioners. This compendium is essential reading for industrial/organizational psychologists and human resource managers.
