The impetus for this volume came from the editors' belief that most
current research and thinking about personnel selection and
assessment in organizations considered only the perspective of the
employer. The job applicant seeking to join the organization or the
employee being considered for promotion or reassignment was
typically given little attention from the designers of employment
or assessment systems. They believed that this imbalance had
several negative implications: 1. Organizational selection and
assessment appeared to be the principal area within work and
organizational psychology that had forgotten a basic tenet of the
profession of psychology, namely, that the welfare of the
individual is paramount. 2. A lack of concern for the individuals
who were being assessed could result in additional criticisms of
psychological assessment in employment settings. 3. The
acceptability of selection and assessment devices and systems may
impact in (largely) unknown ways on the decisions of individuals to
apply for jobs or transfers, thus affecting the selection ratio and
potential utility of such systems. 4. Individual reactions to the
characteristics of assessment and selection devices could affect
the accuracy of the information obtained about those individuals,
adversely affecting the reliability and validity of resulting
personnel decisions. Informally discussing these concerns with
their professional colleagues, the editors found that others were
similarly troubled. Their next response was to organize a three day
conference bringing together a number of researchers in applied
psychology to present papers and participate in discussions related
to balancing individual and organizational needs in selection and
assessment. Revisions of the papers presented at this conference
form the core of this volume.
