Document Summary
Leads to work environments where individuals are highly similar. Interviews are typically less predictive of future performance. Interviews don"t always get an on-the-job performance and interviewers have biases and may not remember all relevant information. List and describe three hiring biases: contrast effects: the effect of the previous applicant on your evaluation, attractiveness bias: attractive people are typically viewed as more competent, prejudice. Prejudice-related biases can also create a: behavioral confirmation effect. Leaders are an example of: someone influencing/persuading on the group. Clarify workers" responsibilities, monitor their work and correct mistakes, reward them for meeting objectives, punish them for not. Take little responsibility for managing, lay out ground rules, let people function on their own. Develop a trusting relationship, encourage individualized employee development (mentoring), emphasize higher- order contributions to organization, society, etc. Motivate employees by providing opportunities to reach their fullest potential.
