Abstract

A justice model of applicants' reactions to employment-selection systems is proposed as a basis for organizing previous findings and guiding future research. Organizational justice literature is briefly reviewed, and key findings are used to provide a framework for the proposed model and to support hypotheses. The procedural justice of selection systems is examined in terms of 10 procedural rules, wherein the satisfaction and violation of these rules provide the basis for fairness reactions. Distributive justice of hiring decisions is examined with respect to equity, equality, and needs. The model also includes the interaction of procedural and distributive justice and the relationship of fairness reactions to individual and organizational outcomes.

What are the Two types of integrity test:

What type of integrity test measures attitudes toward theft as well as self-reports of actual theft behaviors: have you stolen anything from the previous employer? is lying ever ok?

what type of integrity test involves Personality characteristics like risk-taking, dishonesty, and emotional instability are measured

what types of tests Appear valid for predicting both counterproductive (r=.47) and task behaviors (r=.34), but recent work suggests much smaller (Van Iddekinge, et al., 2012) .30 and 15.
Integrity test

_____ Measures (e.g., general cognitive, specific cognitive, and psychomotor) are among the most valid predictors of performance criteria in an employment setting

there are two types of tests which test describes this":Attempt to predict whether an employee will engage in counterproductive or dishonest behavior like stealing, sabotage ______ – measure attitudes toward theft as well as self-reports of actual theft behaviors have you stolen anything from the previous employer? is lying ever ok?

Previous predictors didn’t resemble the job Approach is to create a duplicate and then us it as a predictor Developsmallerstandardized tests of actual criterion-related behavior –replicas of the job e.g., Driving Test Have demonstrated validities in the .50’s – so very useful when available is a ____ ______ example

Internship, a portfolio of what for art, what are these examples of? and what type of validity does it show?

work sample/ Have demonstrated validities in the .50’s – so very useful when available

everyone in your workgroup has received a new computer except you what do you do? a) quit, b)assume a mistake c)take from a coworker. this is an example of what type of test? ______ _____ test

situational judgment test

Used since the 1920s r=.34 for job performance r=..38 w/ JA and .29 w/out!! Incremental validity over personality and GMA (Chan & Schmitt, 2003) are what?

work samples, situational judgment 

Multiple raters evaluate applicants or incumbents on a standardized set of predictors Team of assessors uses multiple methods to evaluate performance/potential Multiple assessors, assess, & exercises Typically take 2-3 days More than 50% of major companies use them emergency services, managerial positions All of this would take place at_____

10:00 Arrive, collect name badges, coffee   10:15 Introductions and presentation by the employer   10:45 Verbal and numerical reasoning tests   11:45 Personality questionnaire   12:30 Lunch with managers and current employees   13:30 Technical interview   14:30 Refreshments   14:45 Individual task: In-Tray exercise   16:00 Group task: Case study exercise
  17:00 Debriefing and payment of travel expenses   17:30 Depart than someone interrupted said issue raised. all diff exsersize, and judged performance and interacting with other asseses, this woule take place at _____

_____centers Began in Germany in the 1930s and developed by US during WWII Management Progress Study of AT&T, 1956 (Doug Bray) assessment ctr data collected on 300 EEs between 1956-1960; then traced for 30 years and found that assessment ctr scores … r=.37 for overall performance criteria r=.53 for identifying mgl potential

What are Two popular Assessment Center Exercises:

in basket and leaderless group discussion

Assessee required to respond to a series of job-related scenarios Is what type assessment center exercise

– Grp of EEs presented with a problem to solve; designed to tap managerial attributes from interactions in a small group observed by assessors is what type of assessment center excercise?

Premise is that past behavior is best predictor of future behavior is collected in 2 ways

application blank and BioData Questionnaire

_______very widely used and abused as companies fail to get valuable information because they use stock surveys ((biographical information))

____(BIB) – Tend to be multiple choice items asking questions about broad areas like family, hobbies, and interests – up to 150 items (biographical information)

____ are Among the most popular selection devices across all job levels – 80-90% of orgs Designed to predict future performance based on responses to a series of oral questions Used to believe not very valid, but companies kept using them – why?

realistic preview of what job is going to be like and hopefully job transparent of that is called a _____ job preview

Series of analysis- -based questions which are asked of all job candidates in the same way and scored on the same scale Increases the reliability of the process and more fair comparison of applicants Behavioral or Situational Interviewing ,what type of interview is this? ___interview

– Constructed without thought to consistancy in questioning Not as useful as Structured because they are all over the place – no consistency is what type of interview?

2 types of structured interview 

Behavioral (done in past)or Situational interviewing (what you would do in the future)

Validity of the Structured interviews 

are more valid predictors of performance (r=.44)/Incremental validity beyond GCA and Personality (Cortina et al., 2000) Potential for biases as in PA

How old are you? When were you born? Have you ever been arrested? Do you plan on having children? Are you pregnant? These are all examples of questions you shouldnt ask in a interview becuase of ____issues

legal issues, can ask ADEA does not specifically prohibit an employer from asking an applicant's age or date of birth, but… Could perhaps ask if the applicant has been convicted of a felony, but grey area! EEer cannot refuse to hire a woman because of her pregnancy-related condition as long as she is able to perform the major functions of her job

legal issue questions cant ask but what can you say?Are you a U.S. citizen? Do you have a disability? Do you have children? What daycare arrangements will be made if you are hired for this job?

May lead to National Origin discrimination; can ask if eligible to work in the U.S. EEers may not ask about the existence of a disability; may ask about ability to perform specific job functions. It is unlawful to inquire if an applicant has children

legal issues Are you actively involved in the NAACP? Have you ever been treated by a psychologist or psychiatrist? Have you ever been hospitalized? Please list any conditions or diseases for which you have been treated in the past three years. instaed use this

Solicitation of such pre‑employment race-revealing information is presumed to be used as a basis for making selection decisions All of these questions are likely illegal under ADA. It is illegal to ask any pre-employment questions about illness Monty Python

Letters of Ref/Recommendation can cause what reactions?

Companies sued by former EE for libel based on the bad things said in a letter Companies have sued other companies because the Reference said the EE was good yet they knew this wasn’t the case.

selection is importance of predictors about prediction– forecasting who is likely to succeed in jobs based on available data

If we knew who were going to be good performers, we wouldn’t need _____

In effect, predictors_____ _____since we don’t have criterion data

systematic procedure for observing behavior and describing it with the aid of numerical scales is called a

Tests = predictors = assessments =______

Speed vs power Individual vs Group Paper-and-Pencil vs. Performance Computer adaptive Testing are all

Delivery of tests via computer How you score on earlier questions affects the difficulty of subsequent sections Provides moreprecise measurement Can quickly identify the test taker’s ability level through the back-and-forth process that eventually ends at the best estimate of the individual’s ability are akk cakked cinoyter______ testing

____ test-– Composed of easier items with a short time limit in which individuals are told to do as many as they can typing Tests

____Test – No fixed time limit or lots of time, but items are more difficult Class Test

____test-Administered to one person at a time – costly in terms of time and money General Cog Ability test like the WAIS-III

____Tests –many applicants can be tested at same time Firefighter or police officer promotion tests (given at same time in same location)

Tests – Most typical kind of test where individuals are asked to respond to a series of items in a test booklet Most Cognitive Ability Tests (SATs)

Paper and pencil (P and p)

______Tests – Require the manipulation of an object or piece of equipment Flight Simulators

Within the context of predictors, ____ _____ is critical

Predictor must be related to a criterion Indicated by ______ between predictor and criterion

In selection – correlations are referred to as 

Standardized Tests Cognitive Ability General Specific Psychomotor personality Integrity

Other Predictors Work Samples Assessment centers Biographical Information Interviews References

___coefficients for personality tests are not as high as those for most of the other predictors included in our review

_____predictors (e.g., integrity tests, biodata, work samples, ACs) are consistently valid

_____ interviews > unstructured

_____measures (e.g., general cognitive, specific cognitive, and psychomotor) are among the most valid predictors of performance criteria in an employment setting

Belief that Cognitive Ability (intelligence) is important for most, if not all, jobs! Thus, among the most frequent predictors used in selection Began with Army Alpha and Beta tests Controversy: Racial Differences is ___ _____ tests

____Validity: other predictors might help account for greater percentage of criterion variance Use cog ability with conscientiousness and structured interview

Wonderlic, WAIS, Ravens Progressive Matrices Wonderlic and the NFL Wonderlic to be supplemented by new aptitude test Lets try the Wonderlic!

_____CAT's -– Predicts whether an individual will do well in a particular job given specific abilities Mechanical – Bennett Mechanical Test Spatial – Space Relations Test Clerical – Minnesota Clerical Test (typer/note) Emotional Intelligence – EQ(evaluate own and others emotions) r = .40 to .50 range (pretty high for predictor)

_____test-Measure sensory abilities – the speed and accuracy of motor and sensory coordination packer, machine operator, assembler, electrician fighter pilot, air traffic controller, baseball player Purdue Pegboard Test, hearing, vision tests r = .40 to .50 NOTE: validities for all tests differ as a function of the job back to the job analysis and identifying the appropriate KSAs

___ tests-Measure individual traits and predispositions to behave in particular ways across situations More recent research on this class of predictors than any other Usually uses the Big 5 taxonomy: Neuroticism, Extraversion, openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, and Agreeableness (OCEAN) 16 PF, NEO, Hogan Personality Inventory

____ test-Personality tests have been found to be valid predictors of job performance – add variance beyond cog ability tests (Mount et al., 2000) – incremental validity r=.20 to .30 Problem – they can be faked Griffith and colleagues (2011a;2011b) found that about 1/3 of test takers fake and they also engage in more counterproductive behaviors than nonfakers. Also, fakers rise to the top and the “wrong” people can be hired.

___ CATs-Early tests (Army Alpha and Beta) were designed to measure General Cognitive Ability General Cognitive Ability accounts for a large proportion of criterion variance (r=.53) r2=.25; lots left to account for. Can we do better than just using General CAT??

Organizations often use _________  to make employee hiring decisions ch.7

ch.7 Selection Battery for middle level managers What do we do?

JA to generate Job Specs and Job Description From these, we would generate performance criteria and predictors

ch.7 after Job anaylasist in selection battery what are the other 2 things considered?

Costs Both time and $$ are important Redundancy If predictors relate too closely, they don’t add any information – remember incremental validity

ch.7 The process of encouraging potentially qualified applicants to seek employment with a particular company is the process of....

ch.7 Efficiency of selection system is limited by effectiveness of ______

ch.7 Newspaper classifieds, Internet, newsletters, campus career centers, employee referrals are all example of __ that can be used for recruitment

ch.7 Selection should be based on valid ____

ch.7 Validation Study: Either Predictive or Concurrent Validation Designs or Validity generalization are 2 general approaches to what?

Two general approaches to demonstrating the validity of a selection battery:

ch.7  The extent to which  test scores obtained at one point in time predict criteria obtained at some future point in time is _____ validity

ch.7 1.Gather predictor data on all applicants 2.Hire applicants based on predictors that are NOT part of the newly developed selection battery 3.Gather performance data to serve as criteria for validation 4.Compute validity coefficient between predictor score and criterion score are all steps for what?

ch.7How well a test predicts a criterion that is measured at the same time as the test Often more viable than Predictive Validity studies is ____ validity

ch.7Collect data on both predictors and criteria from incumbent employees at the same time Compute validity coefficient to assess strength of relationship between predictor and criterion scores are steps for ____ validity

ch.7when does predictive and concurrent take place

ch.7more indepth-Differences Between Concurrent and Predictive Validity Studies 

Concurrent validation uses incumbents as participants rather than applicants In concurrent validation, both predictors and criteria are measured at the same time

ch.7 Challenges assumption that validities are situation specific – situational specificity Use meta-analytic techniques to weight and combine validity coefficients across situations to examine the generalizability of validity coefficients Great deal of research has supported the notion that validities do generalize are all ____ generalization

Validity (saves money, use off the shelf test)

ch.7 Challenges assumption that validities are situation specific – 

situational specifications

ch.7 what are these hang ups for? Many criticisms and concerns about the statistical methods used in VG Still limited to jobs very similar to the jobs on which the test was originally validated Courts have had some concerns with this approach (Atlas Paper Box, 1989 – Wonderlic, but no evidence), but other times the approach has held up in court when it’s done carefully and a JA was used to show jobs are the same

VG, validity generalizations

these are all examples of ____ go through for hiring, Selection Battery for Middle level Managers Use Job analysis to identify the important KSA’s for this job Develop/Select Assessments to tap these KSAs: 1) Validate the battery using Criterion-Related Strategy (Predictive or Concurrent) or 2) Do JA to show that our job is the same as other jobs in which these particular tests were used and validated, and use VG as our evidence of a valid selection battery

ch.7 We can tell our client that we have a selection battery that will result in hiring successful employees, but they want more than that:

1.Which applicants will be successful -- WHO? 2..A cost-effective selection battery

ch.7 Two major approaches to selection that help us here in practicle approaches are:

Multiple Cutoffs Multiple Regression

ch.7  this all is an example of ________Approach *Non-compensatory model of selection in which “passing scores” or cutoffs are set on each predictor Applicant must score higher than cutoff on each predictor *Strength: does not allow candidates weak in very important areas of the job to be selected despite other abilities (e.g., surgeon); easy to understand

ch.7 Non-_____ model of selection in which “passing scores” or cutoffs are set on each predictor Applicant must score higher than cutoff on each predictor

ch.7, ot hiring  like the 5 or 6 who didnt pass the cut off  and not hiring anyone lower than that score on predictor is t an example of _____

Multiple cutoff (scoring really well over all doesn't compensate for doing really well on the over all sccore)

ch.7 this is an example oSpecial rendition of multiple cutoff Predictors administered in a pre-determined order ($$) so that only those who pass a test or hurdle move on to the next phase of selection More cost effective as unqualified applicants efficiently weeded out f the _____approach:

Multiple hurdle (Not everyone take every test, instead everyone take 1 test and who ever passes that gets to move onto round 2 next test and so on and so on (less cost efficient because people weeded out) )

ch.7 this is all _____ regression,Statistical technique that allows us to estimate how well a series of predictors forecasts performance criterion Compensatory- exceptional performance on one predictor can make up for poor performance on another Steps: Validation data used to generate an equation that indicates the best prediction scheme Y = bo+b1X1+b2X2+b3X3 Apply prediction scheme to applicant data to calculate scores that enable us to make selection decisions Rank-order applicants and then select from the top until all positions are filled (

If you do well on another predictor it can compensate well on others, or all around/not weighted equally, figure out which should be the highest )

ch.7 is an example of ___ regression

ch.7 ___ __ ___ considerations: 1.May want to set a cutoff on the predicted criterion that excludes applicants if they fall below it even if our client needs more employees (e.g., score of 12.00) 2.May still want to set a minimum cutoff on each predictor hybrid_ approach: multiple cutoff/mult regression approach); e.g., Work Sample score of 4.00

ch7. these are all ____ of selection process Decision Accuracy Validity . Base Rate Selection ratio Cost

Elements of selection process that allow us to assess utility (how useful and cost efficient is it):

ch.7 this is all the _____ of selection process The answer to “Is it worth it?” often comes directly from an assessment of utility Elements of selection process that allow us to assess utility (how useful and cost efficient is it): Decision Accuracy Validity Base Rate Selection ratio Cost

Only want to hire those who will be successful and don’t want to reject those that could be good performers this pic is an example of _____ accuracy)( picture is not showing up itsar graph in 4 sections like.. a b

ch.7  this is all ___ accuracy 

Only want to hire those who will be successful and don’t want to reject those that could be good performers/ hits :select people who did well on selection battery and are actually good performers, / correct rejections based on predicters didn’t hire and wouldn’t perform wel lon job either /false alarm: people hire because test says success but when they actually work for you they are not good/misses:didn’t hire but would have been successful

ch.7 Decision Accuracy formula for _____ – percentage of hiring decisions_that are correcting Q1/(Q1+Q3) surgeons, cops, pilots, etc.

ch.7 ____ Decision Accuracy formula – maximizing number of hits and correct rejections while minimizing misses and false alarms (Q1+Q2)/(Q1+Q2+Q3+Q4)

ch.7 ___ is 1.To the extent that a selection battery is valid, hits 1and correct rejections will be maximized while misses and false alarms will be minimized 2.With larger_______ coefficients, predictors do a better job of forecasting subsequent performance

ch.7 ____Rate 1.Percentage of current employees who are successful on the job 2.Reflects the quality of previous selection batteries and provides a basis of comparison for new battery 3.Usually the organization sets this Cutoff such as schools using a 2.0 GPA

Base (If base rate is 30% it was not good, 70 % are not performing well )

ch.these are examples of ____ ratio 1.Number of job openings divided by number of applicants 2.If 20 openings and 20 applicants, then SR=1.00; If 5 openings for 20 applicants, then SR=.25 3.The smaller the SR, the greater the potential utility of a selection battery

ch.7 _____ is Associated with the development and implementation of a selection battery

ch.7 ___ is Associated with the development and implementation of a selection battery If _____ are so high that they are greater than potential increase in revenue from hiring better employees, then our client won’t be so interested in the new battery Why does NASA spend billions on selection?? How about FBI? High Stakes selection… NASA selection

ch.7 calculating _____ you need 3 pieces of info Validity of selection battery, knowledge of organizations base rate, and the Selection Ratio

ch.7 _____ utility: Need 3 pieces of information Validity of selection battery, knowledge of organizations base rate, and the Selection Ratio Can use tables that allow for estimation of improvement in the work force from a new selection battery One Version – Taylor-Russell Tables Must then also consider cost

ch.7These are all:  Prior to the 1960s it was NOT illegal to discriminate in the hiring of employees This changed dramatically with the passing of important Federal Legislation and publication of important selection guidelines Civil Rights Act of 1964, specifically also created which also created the EEOC in 1965 1978, EEOC published the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures 2003, SIOP’s principles for the Validation and Use of Selection Procedures

ch.7 whats the diff betweek Disparate Treatment and Impact (DT and DI) 

Treatment is intentional discrimination example: making one group of people take a certain group and the other not and DI is unintentional

ch.7 Dothard v Rawlinson, 1977 Women sued State of Alabama when applying for prison guard in male maximum security facility; courts said safety was an issue for the applicant who would likely be assaulted simply because she was a woman; control of the penitentiary and protection of those on site.

ch.7 Affirmative Action is no a __ stystem

ch.7 Practice employed by many organizations to increase the number of minorities or protected class members in targeted jobs Purpose is to address historical discrimination; not a quota system!
