Empirical Transsituational Moderators.

Abstract

This study deals with the selection of moderator variables. The term 'moderator' is defined by the author as referring to any variable, quantitative or qualitative, which improves the usefulness of a predictor by isolating subgroups of individuals for whom a predictor or set of predictors is especially appropriate. A method is described for selecting moderator variables for use with predictors of performance in three groups--clerical, skilled, nonskilled--first, when predictors specific to the groups are employed, and second, when a more general predictor is used with all three groups.
