Abstract

A survey of more than 2100 references on employee selection in industry revealed that 427 contain sufficient information to permit evaluation of the study. Of the 2100 references 4% met the requirements of the author (annual volume, jobs most frequently investigated, statistics used in presentation of validity, number of subjects, and general adequacy of design). Recommendations for items to be included in reports of employee selection programs are presented. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
