Validity of personality measures in personnel selection

The desirability of incorporative environmental variation into research designs has often been pointed out, but few procedures for doing so have been developed. Attempts to operationalize the concept of «organizational climate» in studies of organizational behavior provide a number of methods for assessing environmental variation, and yield data relevant to hypotheses regarding the interaction of persons and environments. Methods for observing climate variation include field studies, assessments of participant’s perceptions, observations of objective indices, and experimental control of organizational variables. Conditions may affect behavior by determining stimuli, by restraining freedom of response, and by rewarding and punishing bebavior. Illustrative of the organizational properties meriting further study are size, structure, systems complexity, leadership pattern, and goal directions. Selected bibliography of 104 titles indicates how studies of organizations make possibie the variation of both person and climate variables.

The energies of men: a study of the fundamentals of dynamic psychology

Mentoring is an approach to business management which facilitates the utilization of human resources in the enterprise efficiently. Mentoring can be found in all shapes and sizes – ranging from formalized structures to loosely formed relationships – resulting in the retention of the most valuable employees within the firm, and providing the transfer of knowledge, skills and experience among employees. The mentoring process achieved results mainly by appointing competent, well-selected mentors. The aim of this paper is to present the role of the mentor in the enterprise. The results of a good mentor competence study are discussed and an analysis of mentor competencies – with particular emphasis on the age, gender and professional experience (measured by years of employment) – are presented. The author attempts to ascertain which competencies make the mentor fulfill his or her role in the company well. The article consists of an introduction, a brief literature review, a presentation of research results and conclusions. The conclusions of the presented analysis provide a basis for further research and the development of practical recommendations for HR managers.

Who is the best judge of personality: Investigating the role of relationship depth and observational breadth on the accuracy of third-party ratings

Usability evaluation has received extensive attention in both academic and applied arenas. Despite this, there have been few formal attempts to integrate past research and best practices in an effort to develop a newly updated and adaptable approach. This poster provides an overview of the types of results yielded by a novel usability assessment approach (i.e., Experienced-based Questionnaire for Usability Assessments Targeting Elaborations [EQUATE]) when applied to a post mission reporting tool. The goal of this study was to develop software to automate performance tracking for anti-submarine aircraft, digitize performance and training information, and automate the display of post mission summaries. Although some of these technologies exist, the prototype tested during this research was the first, of which the authors are aware, to provide a single point of access for data entry, analysis and reporting. Due to the potential benefits across a variety of naval aviation platforms, the program’s usability goals focused on identifying means to optimize the tool by gathering novice user feedback. Traditional methods for end-user feedback have tended to focus on user performance and satisfaction, rather than providing prescriptive inputs to identifying and rectifying issues. The results of this study provided usability input for post mission reporting, as well as identified and narrowed the heuristic dimensions used for final validation.

Assessing Usability of a Post-Mission Reporting Technology

Heuristic-based usability assessment is a popular approach to assessing system usability in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) [1] Despite the benefits of the approach (eg, flexibility across time and platform, efficiency, utility of feedback) [1], it is also associated with sub-par reliability, validity, and comprehensiveness and requires a Human Factors (HF) expert for the analysis and interpretation of subjective feedback While this approach has a place in the usability lifecycle of a project, tight budgets and schedule constraints can limit the variety of usability approaches that teams can implement The purpose of the current effort is to develop a validated heuristic approach based on a review of past literature and practice and integrate this information to inform an improved system Leveraging previous efforts as a baseline (ie, [2] ), this approach extends previous work by improving the comprehensiveness of the system by broadening the scope of past usability research and providing end-users with specific practical examples of do’s and don’ts to better define broad heuristic-based categories for non-expert end-users The logic is that broad heuristic categories have little practical meaning to end-users not familiar or educated in HF/HCI The provision of practical examples should improve their ability to identify important usability issues while helping them communicate this information in language that is understandable to system designers The result of this research is presented in this poster, and provides a method for the assessment of system usability that is more flexible, efficient, comprehensive and useful than past approaches

Validated Usability Heuristics: Defining Categories and Design Guidance

The cost to train a basic qualified U.S. Navy fighter aircraft pilot is nearly USD 10 M. The training includes primary, intermediate, and advanced stages, with the advanced stage involving extensive flight training, and, thus, is very expensive as a result. Despite the screening tests in place and early-stage attrition, 4.5% of aviators undergo attrition in this most expensive stage. Key reasons for aviator attrition include poor flight performance, voluntary withdrawals, and medical reasons. The reduction in late-stage attrition offers several financial and operational benefits to the U.S. Navy. To that end, this research leverages feature extraction and machine learning techniques on the very sparse flight test grades of student aviators to identify those with a high risk of attrition early in training. Using about 10 years of historical U.S. Navy pilot training data, trained models accurately predicted 50% of attrition with a 4% false positive rate. Such models could help the U.S. Navy save nearly USD 20 M a year in attrition costs. In addition, machine learning models were trained to recommend a suitable training aircraft type for each student aviator. These capabilities could help better answer the need for pilots and reduce the time and cost to train them.
