This volume explores the concepts, themes, methods, and
procedures of organization staffing. As author Aharon Tziner notes
at the outset, although organizations usually attempt to predict
the likely future performance of each applicant in terms of
productivity, rarely do they consider the likelihood of the
applicants finding gratification in their work-related needs and
aspirations. Organizations which fail to consider these needs in
the initial hiring process run the risk that extremely talented
staff may eventually abandon the organization because of a lack of
personal fulfillment. The short--and long-term consequences of
these erroneous staffing policies range from decreased staff morale
and efficiency to seriously impaired profitability. Tziner here
offers a functional and integrated conceptual framework that
enables organizations to maximize the probability that staffing
decisions will result in optimal work adjustment and the
enhancement of organizational productivity.
Tziner begins with an overview of the theoretical foundations of
organizational staffing and a discussion of some basic concepts in
the field. Subsequent chapters examine the process and methods of
job analysis, predictors and measuring tools, and the staffing
process. A separate chapter on staffing methods and instruments
covers biodata, reference checks, the interview, psychological
tests, graphological tests, situational tests, assessment centers,
and peer evaluation. The following group of chapters address the
cost of personnel programs, performance appraisal systems, work
adjustment, and work-related attitudes. In the final chapter,
Tziner shows the reader how to recognize the symptoms of work
maladjustment. Numerous figures and tables illustrate points made
in the text. Four appendices include additional helpful information
such as guidelines for a structured interview and examples of
performance appraisal rating formats. Industrial and organizational
psychologists as well as human resources professionals will find
Tziner's work an enlightening and practical guide to a
long-overlooked aspect of the organization staffing process.
