6. Personnel selection
• The traditional approach
Predicting job performance on the basis
of individual differences variables (such
as the Five Factor Model or General
Mental Ability GMA)
• Empirical success in showing that
predictors relate to job performance,
but WHY?
• Little is known as to why personality
and GMA predict job performance
• Black Box theories
• Knowledge has been suggested as a
mediator in the relationship between
GMA and Job performance
• Little research

Job for which lots of documentation is already available
Call center employees / police / military / sales agents
• Constructing the JR Ontology
• Customizing the test engine
• Integration with a VLE

Construct related validity evidence
According to Binning and Barrett (1989) the construct-related approach to establishing validity evidence for selection context predictors involves the identification of psychological construct domains that overlap significantly with the performance domain (Inference 7) and then developing measures that adequately sample these construct domains (Inference 6).
Criterion related validity evidence
According to Binning and Barrett (1989) the criterion-related approach involves developing some operational measure of behaviors in the performance domain (Inference 8) and then identifying or developing predictors that will relate empirically with the operational criterion measure.
Content related validity evidence
According to Binning and Barrett (1989) the content related validity evidence approach involves developing predictors that directly sample the performance domain (Inference 9).
Support for inference seven (see also binning and barrett article) is seldom generated in Personnel Selection Research
Binning and Barrett state that “To the extent that the validity of Inference 10 is questionable,
all other inferences in the system are questionable”
