Guides - Non-Classroom
Descriptors: Adults; Competitive Selection; Compliance (Legal); Employment Qualifications; Evaluation Methods; Glossaries; Human Resources; Job Performance; Merit Rating; Occupational Tests; Performance Based Assessment; Personnel Directors; Personnel Evaluation; Personnel Management; Personnel Policy; Personnel Selection
Abstract: This guide was developed to help managers and human resource (HR) professionals use assessment practices that are the right choices for reaching their organizations' HR goals. It provides information about assessment practices so that managers and HR professionals can evaluate and select assessment tools and procedures that maximize chances for getting the right fit between jobs and employees; administer and score assessment tools that are the most efficient and effective for their needs; interpret assessment results accurately; and understand the professional and legal standards to be followed when conducting personnel assessment. The guide is structured around a set of 13 assessment principles and their applications. Each of the nine chapters covers one of these critical aspects of the assessment process: (1) personnel assessment; (2) understanding the legal context of assessment--employment laws and regulations with implications for assessment; (3) understanding test quality--concepts of reliability and validity; (4) assessment tools and their uses; (5) how to select tests--standards for evaluating tests; (6) administering assessment instruments; (7) using, scoring, and interpreting assessment instruments; (8) issues and concerns with assessment; and (9) a review of principles of assessment. Two appendixes offer a list of 24 resource materials and a glossary of 44 terms and concepts. (KC) Note:The following two links are not-applicable for text-based browsers or screen-reading software.

7. Development and Validation of a Personnel Assessment System for Selection of Tufting Machine Operators. (ED415285)
Bobrow, Warren
1997-12-00
Reports - Evaluative
Descriptors: Aptitude Tests; Decision Making; Employment Qualifications; Job Skills; Machine Tool Operators; Mathematical Aptitude; Mechanical Skills; Occupational Tests; Personality Assessment; Personality Traits; Personnel Selection; Predictive Measurement; Sex Differences; Sex Discrimination; Test Construction; Test Use; Test Validity; Thinking Skills; Visual Acuity; Vocational Evaluation
Abstract: This paper outlines the results of a test validation project for entry-level positions in the tufting areas in a carpet factory. Carpet factory administrators thought that new methods of hiring associates would help improve overall system productivity. A job analysis was conducted through review of job materials and focus groups with employees and supervisors. Critical knowledge, skills, and abilities were identified for the job at present and in the future. The following dimensions were found to be critical to job performance: (1) decision making ability; (2) arithmetic ability; (3) conscientiousness; (4) visual acuity; (5) mechanical aptitude; and (6) agreeableness. Instruments, which included tests of abstract reasoning, the ability to spot flaws in a series of pictures, a mathematics test, a visual speed and acuity test, a test of mechanical aptitude (with little or no gender bias), and an attitude questionnaire were used in pilot testing with 96 current employees, whose productivity was assessed to provide a measure of criterion validity. Pilot testing indicated that the assembled test battery was valid for the selection of tufting machine operators without adverse impact against women. The test construction and validation procedures outlined in this project are comparable and could easily be transferred to those used in educational assessment.

Speeches/Meeting Papers; Reports - Research
Descriptors: Adult Education; Adult Programs; Career Development; County Programs; Labor Force Development; Law Enforcement; Police; Program Design; Program Evaluation; Systems Approach; Workshops
Abstract: The Collier Country (Florida) Sheriff's Office has initiated a voluntary career development program for law enforcement and corrections officers holding ranks of lieutenant and below. The career development program is implemented through a systems approach that integrates career planning and individual assessment with performance evaluation, training, education, and compensation. The program's desired outcomes are to increase job satisfaction, improve levels of performance, and promote a healthier organizational climate. All program participants receive individual and group counseling, and all participating supervisors attend 2-day career development and performance evaluation workshops that emphasize supervisors' roles/responsibilities in providing technical and career information and serving as mentors. Participants also undergo an extensive assessment program that includes batteries of tests and self- and peer assessments. The curriculum consists of four core components: academic endeavors; community service; physical fitness; and firearms proficiency. The fifth component, job rotation/special assignment, may also be offered by special arrangement. A system of monetary rewards that is distinct from the agency's eight-step salary schedule is used to reward officers for participating in the program. To date, interest in the career development program has been highest among younger deputies with fewer than 5 years at the agency.
