Briefly describe the current thoughts in the literature about the dimensionality of job performance.
What will be an ideal response?
Even the most cursory examination of HR practices reveals a great variety of predictors typically in use. Several reviews (Campbell & Wiernik, 2015; Ronan & Prien, 1966, 1971) concluded that the notion of a unidimensional measure of job performance (even for lower-level jobs) is unrealistic. Analyses of even single measures of job performance (e.g., attitude toward the company, absenteeism) have shown that they are much more complex than surface appearance would suggest. Despite the problems associated with global criteria, they seem to “work” quite well in most personnel selection situations. However, to the extent that one needs to solve a specific problem (e.g., too many customer complaints about product quality), a more specific criterion is needed. If there is more than one specific problem, then more than one specific criterion is called for (Guion, 1987).
