ABSTRACT
According to J. P. Campbell, the latent structure of job performance can be modeled using the following eight general factors; job-specific task proficiency; non-job-specific task proficiency; written and oral communication; demonstrating effort; maintaining personal discipline; facilitating peer and team performance; supervision/leadership, and management/administration. In Campbell's model, these eight factors represent the highest order factors that can be useful for describing performance in every job in the occupational domain, although some factors may not be relevant for all jobs. The general performance measure (GPM) is a 59-item measure of generalizable dimensions of job performance. Although attention was given to the representation of other performance models in designing the GPM, Campbell's performance model was used as the primary guiding framework because it is one of the most comprehensive and widely accepted treatments of the performance domain currently available.
