Personnel selection and classification

About this book

In 26 chapters by authors in the academic, private, and defense sectors of personnel research, this book combines four key elements for identifying the most promising themes for advancing inquiry in selection and classification. Foremost, is an emphasis on innovative ongoing research approaches, many of which differ with traditional approaches. Second, is the selection of authors, who are influential in the field and who communicate effectively with the reader. Third, is comprehensive coverage of selection and classification under these three headings: conceptualizing and measuring job performance; individual differences; and models for selection and classification decisions. Finally, the presentations are woven into larger integrated themes and directions for the next generation of research.
