This assignment will require you to consider essentially all aspects

This assignment will require you to consider essentially all aspects of personnel psychology.

1. Create a job description (JOB: LICENSED MEDICAL ASSISTANT)

There are 5 parts to a job description (see slides 11 and 12 of the “Job Analysis” powerpoint).
You may find O*Net useful for this part of the assignment in particular!
2. Describe the relevant criteria for the job analyzed in Step 1.

How will you measure performance for the job?
Will you use a single global criterion, a composite criterion, multiple criteria, etc.
If using performance ratings, describe who will be rating.
If using multiple or composite criteria, be sure to list all the different parts being used or factored in.
Are there any other criteria you might look at? (OCBs, CWBs, absenteeism, etc.)
3.What screening and selection tools will you use?

Think carefully here—don’t just list all the tools we went over in class!
Describe how each screening/selection tool is related to the job; be specific
For example, if you’re using a personality inventory as a selection tool, describe which traits will predict which aspects of performance (e.g., “the Agreeableness factor of personality will be related to the individual’s ability to work well with their coworkers”)
How will applicants be processed through the selection system?
Will there be multiple hurdles? If so, what tools will you use at each phase?
Will you combine various predictors (i.e., multiple regression), use cutoffs for each predictor (i.e., multiple cutoff), etc.

This project will need you to think about almost every facet of personnel psychology.

1. Homework help – Write a job description for yourself (JOB: LICENSED MEDICAL ASSISTANT)

You might find O*Net very beneficial for this part of the homework!
