Exam 15: Strategies for Selection Decision Making

In decision making, the term "judgmental" refers to whether the data were either collected or combined using human judgment.

Managers often feel threatened when asked to use formulas for making selection decisions rather than their own judgment.

Using other than top-down hiring based on applicants' ranked test scores has not been shown to lead to a loss of economic utility.

With the multiple regression decision making strategy, it is impossible for applicants with different individual predictor scores to have identical overall predictor scores.

A simple selection decision involves several applicants with one position.

Match each of the following statements with the appropriate selection decision making strategy. a.Multiple regression d.Combination method b.Multiple cutoffs e.profile matching c.Multiple hurdle -Most appropriate when tradeoffs among predictors do not affect overall job performance

Match each of the following statements with the appropriate selection decision making strategy. a.Multiple regression d.Combination method b.Multiple cutoffs e.profile matching c.Multiple hurdle -Appropriate when there is a clearly best type of employee for the job

A profile interpretation strategy for collecting and combining predictive information is:

Match each of the following statements with the appropriate selection decision making strategy. a.Multiple regression d.Combination method b.Multiple cutoffs e.profile matching c.Multiple hurdle -A nonsequential procedure

Match each of the following statements with the appropriate selection decision making strategy. a.Multiple regression d.Combination method b.Multiple cutoffs e.profile matching c.Multiple hurdle -Is appropriate when the applicant pool is large and when some of the selection procedures are expensive to administer

To remain a viable applicant, applicants must pass the predictors sequentially in which of the following selection strategies?

Which selection decision making model is most appropriate to use when physical abilities are essential to job performance?

Which of the following is a method in which both judgmental and mechanical data are collected and then combined judgmentally?

Match each of the following statements with the appropriate selection decision making strategy. a.Multiple regression d.Combination method b.Multiple cutoffs e.profile matching c.Multiple hurdle -Uses a d² statistic

Which of the following is a method in which data are both collected mechanically and combined mechanically?

A cutoff score represents a score on a predictor or combination of predictors below which applicants are rejected.

A double stage strategy is a variant of which of the selection decision making models?

Match each of the following statements with the appropriate selection decision making strategy. a.Multiple regression d.Combination method b.Multiple cutoffs e.profile matching c.Multiple hurdle -Sometimes referred to as a compensatory method

A simple box-score tally of a decision maker's successes and failures can improve decision making over time.
