Job Knowledge

“construct validation and theory development imply the same basic process….” “If it can be shown that a test measures a specific construct … that has been determined to be critical for job performance…, then inferences about job performance from test scores are by logical implication justified” (Binning and Barrett, 1989, p.487, p. 480

Center of Job Knowledge Research

• Why CJKR? Because job knowledge…• Is among the most important yet least understood individual

level drivers of the knowledge economy• Is imperative to successfully match people to jobs but largely

neglected in personnel selection research• Is an ultimate outcome against which both education and

training must be evaluated• Is a means to ensure public spending on education enhances

graduates’ opportunities, fit, and accomplishment on the labor market

research within the personnel psychology community
