Abstract: For decades, the field of workplace selection has been dominated by evidence that cognitive ability is the most important factor in predicting performance. Meta-analyses detailing the contributions of a wide-range of factors to workplace performance show that cognitive ability’s contribution is partly mediated by the learning of task-relevant skills and job-specific declarative knowledge. Further, there is evidence to suggest that this relationship is a function of task complexity, and partially mediated by learning performance in workplace induction and training activities. Simultaneously, evidence is mounting that stable individual differences in implicit learning exist, which are at least partially independent of traditional measures of intelligence. In this article we provide an overview of recent advances in our understanding of implicit learning, outline some of the advantages offered by its measurement, and highlight some of the challenges associated with its adoption as a measure of interest.

The impact of self-directed learning on middle management job performance: mediating role of explicit knowledge internalization in Macao’s casino-integrated resorts
Jinquan Zhou,Susana Mieiro,Hong-Wai Ho +2 more
Abstract: Purpose This study aims to explore the relationships among self-directed learning (SDL), explicit knowledge internalization (EKI) and job performance in middle management within Macao’s casino-integrated resorts. It examines how SDL and EKI enhance job performance in this unique setting. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual framework was empirically tested using survey data from 380 middle managers. An exploratory single-case study approach validated the proposed relationships among SDL, EKI and job performance in Macao’s casino-integrated resorts. Findings The results indicate that both SDL and EKI significantly influence job performance. EKI also mediates the relationship between SDL and job performance, emphasizing its role in knowledge assimilation and application. Research limitations/implications The focus on Macao’s casino-integrated resorts may affect generalizability. Future research should investigate diverse contexts to further validate the results. Practical implications It offers guidance for enhancing job performance through knowledge management strategies, focusing on SDL and EKI. Human resource practitioners and leaders can use these insights to tailor learning and development programs, promoting a culture of continuous improvement and knowledge sharing. Originality/value This research highlights how SDL and EKI boost job performance in casino-integrated resorts. By framing these resorts as learning organizations, this study offers insights into the role of learning and knowledge sharing in organizational success.

The validity and utility of selection methods in personnel psychology: Practical and theoretical implications of 85 years of research findings.
Frank L. Schmidt,John E. Hunter +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the practical and theoretical implications of 85 years of research in personnel selection and concluded that the most important property of a personnel assessment method is predictive validity: the ability to predict future job performance, job related learning (such as amount of learning in training and development programs), and other criteria.

Implicit learning and tacit knowledge
Arthur S. Reber
- 01 Jan 1993
TL;DR: Implicit learning as mentioned in this paper is the process by which knowledge about the ralegoverned complexities of the stimulus environment is acquired independently of conscious attempts to do so, and it can be used implicitly to solve problems and make accurate decisions about novel stimulus circumstances.
