EBOOK Oxford Handbook of Personnel Assessment and Selection

Employee selection remains an integral role of industrial/organizational        psychology. Modern demands on organizations have required adaptations on the part of        those responsible for selection programs, and researchers in evaluating the impact        of these adaptations as well as their implications for how we view human potential.          Many of these developments (web-based assessments, social networking, globalization        of organizations, for example) determine in great part the content and focus of many        of the chapters in this book.The Oxford Handbook of Personnel Assessment and        Selection is organized into seven parts: (1) historical and social context of the        field of assessment and selection; (2) research strategies; (3) individual        difference constructs that underlie effective performance; (4) measures of predictor        constructs; (5) employee performance and outcome assessment; (6) societal and        organizational constraints on selection practice; and (7) implementation and        sustainability of selection systems. While providing a comprehensive review of        current research and practice, the purpose of the volume is to provide an up-to-date        profile of each of the areas addressed and highlight current questions that deserve        additional attention from researchers and practitioners. This compendium is        essential reading for industrial/organizational psychologists and human resource        managers.
