| Popis: | This paper presents the results of a theory-guided validation study conducted in a large urban transit authority. Four selection predictors were evaluated: an eye–hand–foot co-ordination test, a cognitive and perceptual ability test, a work preference inventory, and a behaviour description structured interview that assessed adaptive and interpersonal skills. These predictors were evaluated against a comprehensive domain of job performance that included on-the-job observations, accidents, complaints, commendations, absences, organizational commitment, and job and work involvement. Although the results were mixed, the results generally support the use of measures of non-intellective variables (i.e., work preference inventory and interview) when predicting transit operator performance. |
