Suitable for graduate level classes in industrial and organizational psychology, this volume surveys recent advances in the performance assessment of individuals in work settings. Thirteen contributions from internationally recognized practitioners explore critical issues relating to criterion development from a variety of perspectives and contexts. A sampling of topics includes using frequency estimation as a basis for assessment; leveraging distributed systems to enable job redesign; and understanding multi-team system functioning. Editor Bennett is a research psychologist for the Air Force Research Laboratory, Human Effectiveness Directorate. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Over the course of the past few years, teaching, research, and practice has underscored the importance of performance measurement and criterion development as topics of great interest, considerable debate, and some misunderstanding. It has also become clear that the field needs to address a compendium of research, applications, and issues. Performance Measurement: Current Perspectives and Future Challenges brings together internationally recognized leaders in the field and each examines the subject matter in a way that has never been done--focusing on the dynamic nature of work and the tremendous demands being placed on assessment and measurement as core organizational activities. It also uniquely uses their expertise to provide critical pointers to not only the practical implications of work in the field, but also to the new and continuing issues to be addressed and research to be conducted.
The book will be useful to both scientists and practitioners.
This volume is a compendium of research, applications, and issues on performance measurement and criterion development. Performance measurement plays a key role in human resource management and productivity. New technological breakthroughs are also discussed.
