Project description
Project: Leveraging the potential of job knowledge to fit individuals to jobs: Studies in Personnel Selection
The project will contribute to our understanding of how intelligent algorithms may identify (mis)matches between person’s job knowledge and job demands. Furthermore we foresee close collaboration with ESR#2. Methods include (Quantitative) literature review and practitioner interviews to identify best practices in the validation of job knowledge tests.
Collection of qualitative job knowledge data for a particular job through interviews with job incumbents (N>50) and HR managers (N>20); additional qualitative data from job requirements obtained from vacancies and job related documentation. Data will be analysed in order to yield the job knowledge dimensions that are critical to job performance in this job. Multisource surveys (N>500) will finally be employed for psychometric validation and to establish a relationship between job knowledge and job performance. Nature of data collection: Interviews, surveys, desk research.
