Modeling Job Performance: Is There a General Factor?

Abstract

Virtually every measurable individual differences variable thought to be relevant to the productivity, efficiency, or profitability of the unit or organization has been used as a measure of job performance in the Industrial- Organizational psychology literature. A question that remains largely unaddressed is the extent to which the various measures correlate with one another. In this dissertation, I examined: (a) the true score intercorrelations between the various dimensions of job performance; and (b) test whether a hierarchical model explains the true score correlations between the different job performance measures.
