Handbook of Employee Selection - Tapa blanda

'It is great to see the new and state-of-the-art edition of James Farr and Nancy Tippins’s Handbook of Employee Selection. This is a ‘must read’ for anybody involved in selection and assessment at work.' – Sir Cary Cooper, 50th Anniversary Professor of Organizational Psychology and Health, Manchester Business School, University of Manchester UK, and President of the CIPD

'Jim Farr and Nancy Tippins are the ideal co-editors to provide "The" book on selection/staffing. Jim has spent his academic career studying the science of selection and shaping practice; Nancy has spent her entire career as a scientist who puts into practice the science of staffing. Both individuals are seasoned professionals to whom SIOP, the courts, and practitioners turn to for their expertise in this domain.' – Gary Latham, Secretary of State Chair of Organizational Effectiveness, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, Canada

This second edition of the Handbook of Employee Selection has been revised and updated throughout to reflect current thinking on the state of science and practice in employee selection. In this volume, a diverse group of recognized scholars inside and outside the United States balance theory, research, and practice, often taking a global perspective.

Divided into eight parts, chapters cover issues associated with measurement, such as validity and reliability, as well as practical concerns around the development of appropriate selection procedures and implementation of selection programs. Several chapters discuss the measurement of various constructs commonly used as predictors, and other chapters confront criterion measures that are used in test validation. Additional sections include chapters that focus on ethical and legal concerns and testing for certain types of jobs (e.g., blue collar jobs). The second edition features a new section on technology and employee selection.

The Handbook of Employee Selection, Second Edition provides an indispensable reference for scholars, researchers, graduate students, and professionals in industrial and organizational psychology, human resource management, and related fields.
