ABSTRACT
This chapter is about how staffing researchers demonstrate the potential meaningfulness and usefulness of the procedures we can develop to assist in making staffing decisions. We cover the following topics: (a) the ways people who do staffing research and practice have come to understand the relationship between performance on a selection procedure and performance on the job-generically called validity; (b) ways to summarize the vast number of attempts to show the relationship between selection procedures and job performance; and (c) approaches for demonstrating the monetary utility of selection procedures.
