Organizational Entry:
Finding the right degree of challenge then, is a major aspect of your own
organizational entry. It is vital that the amount of challenge offered by your first job live
up to your expectations and preferences.
Employee Preferences:
After the recruiting process, when applicants and organizations have each
decided that the other seems to match their expectancies, the actual selection process
begins.
An Overview of the selection process:
These selection procedures are complex and costly, but, in the long run, they
are less complex and costly than selecting the wrong person for the job.
Job Analysis:
1. Application blanks: Can provide much useful information about job candidates
that can be directly related to the probability of success on the job.
2. Interview: As a selection device, despite consistently unfavorable research
findings, continues to be relied on by employing organizations.
3. Letter of Recommendation: despite the recognized tendency of letter writers to
be overly kind, are part of selection programs.
4. Assessment Center: A selection technique used primarily for selecting managers
and excutives.
5. Job samples and miniature training and evaluation: Both of which provide a
sample of the job for which the person is applying. Job samples are used for
applicants who have had some experience with the job in question, while,
miniature training, and evaluation, is used for those who have no experience in
miniature training and evaluation.
Polygraphs and voices stress analyzers (so-called lie detectors) are widely used
in selection. However, neither device is an accurate measure of deception.
