EAWOP Congress 2019. State of Art in Personnel Selection

09.01.2019

EAWOP Congress 2019

State of Art: Personnel selection
During the EAWOP 2019 Congress a State of the Art speech on personnel selection will be given by Professor Dragos Iliescu. He gives us a short introduction to it:

"Fairness in personnel selection is an important category of research drawing both from fundamental assessment literature, and from labor relations and personnel psychology. When drawing from assessment literature, research and practice tends to follow the precepts of the AERA-APA-NCME Standards for Educational and Psychological Assessment, focusing on the quality of measures (reliability, validity, equivalence etc.) and of the assessment process. When drawing from personnel psychology and labor relations, research and practice tends to focus rather on the legal implications and protection against liability in the selection process. These two lines of research will be discussed, as well as a number of outcomes related to fairness in the personnel selection process, such as test-taker mood and future
attitudes, with an impact on longer-term phenomena such as employer branding, population attitude towards testing and more generally towards employment selection".
