Overview
"Psychological Assessment in the Workplace is a complete guide for managers and HR professionals to use in their everyday work when selecting, promoting and assessing people in their organisations. Each chapter covers a specific assessment practice and provides workable examples, case studies and ideas for test selection." Authoritative, reliable and, above all, practical, this book offers the immediate solutions that busy managers and HR professionals need. Its foundation in solid theory and research will also interest occupational psychologists, occupational practitioners in training, and students of psychology and business.Synopsis
Occupational psychologists Cook (Swansea U.) and Cripps (an independent UK consultant) separate the valid and reliable from the questionable in describing psychological tests and other techniques for assessing employees. Based on real world-based research rather than studies with college students, they discuss the why, what, and how of performance appraisal-related assessment. The last chapter treats professional and ethical issues. Chapters include recommendations, case studies, and discussion points. They do not address US unions' concerns over assessments for the "right personality" for a job. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
