Are We Helping Workers Reskill for the Future of Work? Using AI to Explore the Alignment of Online Course Offerings and Job Skill Requirements
Millions of workers and job seekers turn to online platforms to gain work-relevant skills to remain competitive for the future of work. However, little is known about whether the skills acquired in work-relevant online courses align with the skills required for 21st-century jobs. Drawing on literature on job and skill matching, this exploratory study examines the alignment between available online training and learning content and the skills dema…
Integrating Ensemble Clustering and Text Embeddings for Estimating the Factor Loadings of Self-Report Scales
Advances in large language models can provide opportunities to evaluate the characteristics of scales prior to data collection. In this study, we explore if item text can be used to predict a scale’s psychometric properties. Specifically, we examine if clustering consensus (i.e., the frequency by which items are grouped with other items from the same underlying factor across multiple clustering algorithms), and a cosine similarity metric (i.e., t…
The utility of culturally responsive assessment for organizational science
Purpose As the global labor force becomes increasingly diverse, assessments must be culturally responsive to different demographic groups and their intersections. While culturally responsive assessment (CRA) has gained traction in education, it remains underexplored in organizational research. This study aims to examine how organizations can integrate CRA principles into employee selection, training and performance management. Design/methodology/…
To Test or Not to Test? The Graduate Record Examinations
Graduate admissions committees in Europe have a challenging task of selecting students from an increasingly large pool of candidates with diverse application files. Graduate standardized testing can ease the comparison of application files. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) is predictive of several dimensions of graduate success on English-taught research masters’ programs in science, technolo…
Method considerations for school psychology from longitudinal research on gifted students
Noncognitive skills and critical thinking predict undergraduate academic performance
We investigated the predictive value of four noncognitive skills (academic skills [e.g. meeting class expectations], commitment [e.g. to the institution], self-management [e.g. academic self-efficacy] and social support [e.g. social connectedness]), and critical thinking for predicting undergraduate academic performance in multiple institutions using multi-level modeling. Results show that in addition to traditional predictors such as high school…
Who Sends Scores to GRE-Optional Graduate Programs? A Case Study Investigating the Association between Latent Profiles of Applicants’ Undergraduate Institutional Characteristics and Propensity to Subm…
Many programs have made the submission of GRE scores optional. Little research examines differences in propensity to submit scores according to applicants’ characteristics, however, including the type of undergraduate institution they attended. This study’s purpose was to examine the degree to which the type of undergraduate institution applicants attended predicted score submission to GRE-optional programs, including when controlling for covaria…
Wrecked by Success? Not to Worry
We examined the wrecked-by-success hypothesis. Initially formalized by Sigmund Freud, this hypothesis has become pervasive throughout the humanities, popular press, and modern scientific literature. The hypothesis implies that truly outstanding occupational success often exacts a heavy toll on psychological, interpersonal, and physical well-being. Study 1 tested this hypothesis in three cohorts of 1,826 high-potential, intellectually gifted indiv…
The criterion problem in cross-cultural performance research
The criterion problem is a serious conceptual and methodological challenge that has confronted investigators and managers in the organizational sciences for over 100 years. This paper is an introduction to the criterion problem and some of the complex, multifaceted issues it encompasses. It defines and discusses important concepts (e.g. the problem itself, conceptual criteria, operational criteria). It explores broad dilemmas that afflict all typ…
Speaking without words
What candidates say in an interview is important—but so is how they say it. We draw on dual‐process theory to explain why interviewers rely on individuals' dynamic and static nonverbal cues to evaluate performance with quick, implicit inferences (System 1 processing). Yet, it remains unclear which cues most influence interviewers' judgments and whether moderators affecting interviewers' reliance on System 1 thinking (e.g., interview structure, mo…
The Role of Situation Perception in Teaching
Background/Context Rich classroom discussions are thought to provide several benefits to students, including improved connections to course content and general literacy development, and they provide a rich evidence stream from which teachers can make inferences about student learning to contribute to decisions about next teaching and learning steps. However, the way in which teachers perceive complex social situations characterized by student beh…
Implicit Trait Policies About Prosocial Professionalism
Prosocial elements of organizational citizenship behavior, contextual performance, citizenship performance, extra-role behavior, and organizational spontaneity are driven largely by beliefs about the importance of prosocial behavior for work effectiveness. These beliefs are a person’s prosocial implicit trait policy (ITP). We discuss recent theoretical and empirical work that develops the concept of prosocial ITP and tests hypotheses about relati…
Job Performance
This chapter presents an overview of job performance as it is conceptualized in the industrial–organizational psychology literature. It includes a definition of job performance that emphasizes the behavioral, episodic, and aggregate nature of the construct. The chapter reviews and discusses several well-established multidimensional models of job performance, along with emerging theories of performance such as adaptive performance and trait activa…
