examine a work-based assessment

Work-based assessment is a central topic in industrial and
organizational psychology. Work-based assessments are often criticized
for lack of quantitative rigor and lack of predictive nature for work
performance. However, companies and organizations that have clear
methods to describe the work, attributes needed to perform the work,
and systematic performance management systems tend to be more
successful. Work-based assessment includes both predictive-based
(e.g., ability test, work sample test) and a criterion based
assessment (e.g., work output). In this assignment you will evaluate
and find empirical support for the theoretical approach that best
describes predictive and criterion work-based assessment. What
strategies would increase rigor of work-based assessment? Identify the
unique role an industrial organizational psychologist has in an
organization for work-based assessment.
