A company conducts a predictive validation study, and finds that scores on a test of interpersonal skills correlate with supervisory ratings of job performance at r = .30. This would be considered a _effect, and indicates that the test scores explain of the variability in performance ratings. Select one: O a. medium; 9% O b. large; 50% O c. medium; 30% O d. large; 30% O e. small; 1% Meta-analytic research on the relationship between "g" and job performance has indicated that: Select one: O a. as the complexity of the job increases, so does the predictive ability of "g". O b. self-efficacy is more predictive than "g". O c. "g" is generally not predictive of job performance across a variety of occupations. O d. vocational interests tend to have superior prediction over "g". O e. "g" is only predictive of job performance for managerial occupations. Research by Huselid and colleagues (1997; 1998) examined whether there was any evidence of a relationship between HRM practices and company performance. What did the researchers find regarding the use of "high performance work practices" (HPWP)? Select one: O a. Companies that engaged in HPWPs to a greater extent had increased cash flow, decreased turnover, and increased sales, profits, and stock market value per employee. b. Companies that engaged in HPWPs to a greater extent did not seem to benefit financially, but tended to have happier, more satisfied employees. c. Companies that engaged in HPWPs did not seem to have direct financial benefits, but did experience decreased turnover. O d. There was no evidence of an association between engaging in HPWPs and company performance. O e. None of the above Acme Corp. has a valid selection test used for hiring their accounting staff. If the company raised the cut score on the test (assuming there is a positive relationship between test scores and job performance), which of the following could they expect: Select one: O a. fewer candidates would need to be assessed. O b. more poorly performing employees. O c. more false positives, but fewer false negatives. O d. more false negatives, but fewer false positives. O e. None of the above
