Document Summary
Perceived unfair staffing strategies can lead to: initiation of lawsuits- for hiring based on discrimination, unfair treatment in workplace, etc, filing of formal grievances with company representatives, counterproductive behavior. Combining info: clinical decision making- uses judgment to combine information and make decision about relative value of different candidates, statistical decision making- combines information according to a mathematical formula, using multiple predictors to choose a candidate: Constructed from multiple hurdles so candidates who don"t exceed each of the minimum dimension scores are excluded from further consideration. Often set up sequentially, with more expensive hurdles placed later. Ex) have applicant work with pipets before centrifuge- less repercussions for breaking a pipet. Used to narrow a large applicant pool: compensatory approach. Multiple regression analysis- results in equation for combining test scores into a composite based on correlations of each test score with performance score. Look at overlap between predictor variables and criterion/performance.
