ABSTRACT
Throughout this book, we discuss staffing principles and provide examples of how these staffing principles are applied to real work situations. For example, we present ideas about how staffing fits within the larger job and organizational design principles of an organization and then describe ways in which job analyses might be accomplished to identify the KSAOs required to do the work and perform it in an acceptable fashion. Or, consider the issue of personality at work, where we identify the ways in which personality has been conceptualized and the measures that have been developed-and then explicate the ways these personality measures might be employed to predict OCB, job satisfaction, and turnover in a real organization. So, in each previous chapter, the focus is primarily on how a particular aspect of staffing (e.g., job analysis, criterion development, predictor development) was applied in solving real world problems.
