Some "Must Read" Articles

The September 2008 edition of Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Perspectives on Science and Practice (table of contents) has two series of articles that are likely of great relevance to anyone interested in personnel selection. The first set of articles focuses what the authors see as some of the key questions facing personality researchers working on practice-related issues. The second looks at some of the factors which contribute to the resistance of hiring mangers to use empirically supported selection methods in favor of other methods, primarily unstructured interviews, which tend to have very limited predictive validity.
