The purpose of the books in the Foundations for Organizational Science series is to describe what is known in a subject area, what we need to know to substantially increase our knowledge and practice, and ideas about how to go about obtaining this knowledge. The books are also targeted to graduate students in the organizational sciences. Personnel Selection offers a comprehensive, state-of-the-art look at the field of personnel selection. This book also emphasizes the role of theory in the personnel selection research, an area of organizational science that is often characterized as lacking in theoretical bases. Traditional topics, such as job analysis, performance measurement, the measurement of individual difference characteristics, the design of validation research, and the evaluation of validation data, are covered. In addition, novel ideas concerning levels of analysis issues, examinee reactions to tests, the impact of changing technology and means of communication, and globalization are also discussed. Each chapter provides detailed access to current knowledge, identifies sources that can provide further detail, and ends with a summary of the major research questions that should be addressed to advance understanding of the issues described in that chapter.
"Staffing Organizations: Contemporary Practice and Theory," the new
third edition of a classic in the field, shows how organizations of
all sizes can use effective staffing procedures as a source of
sustained competitive advantage. Practically, the book shows how to
choose, develop, and administer effective staffing procedures,
including conducting job analyses, defining and measuring job
performance, identifying predictors of performance that are both
valid and legally defensible, and using this information to make
sound hiring decisions. All three authors are active practitioners
and recommendations based on their experiences are interwoven
throughout the chapters. The authors are also grounded in a
scientific, conceptual perspective that informs what they say and
do in the staffing area. They review cutting-edge theory and
research in diverse areas of importance to the practice of
staffing, and identify scientific advances as well as areas that
should be informed by additional research.

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.
Employee selection has long stood at the practical forefront of industrial/organizational psychology. Today's social, business, and economic climates require ongoing adaptations by those who select organizations' personnel, and research on the topic helps gauge the impact of these adaptations and their implications for human performance and potential. The Oxford Handbook of Personnel Assessment and Selection codifies the wealth of new research surrounding employee selection (web-based assessments, social networking, globalization of organizations), situating them alongside more traditional practices to establish the best and most relevant research for both professionals and academics. Comprising chapters from authors in both the private sector and academia, this volume 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.
