MAN-JOB MATCHING AND PERSONNEL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT.
Abstract
The paper provides: a description of a model for the man-job matching process; a discussion of the various constraints and assumptions necessary to make the model applicable to typical operational conditions; and a discussion of the state-of-the-art in the prediction of job performance in new assignments. 'Hard' variables are defined as personal characteristics which are related to measurements of a man's current skills and knowledge -these were found to account for about half the variance in job performance in new assignments. 'Soft' variables are defined as personal characteristics related to a man's motivation or the manner in which he applies his skills and knowledge in new situations -- these were found to have only marginal utility in the prediction of performance in new assignments. The paper then describes a procedure for developing job performance indices which are required inputs to the man-job matching model described earlier. (Author)
