Summary: Deterioration in performance associated with decreased ability to sustain attention may be found in long and tedious task sessions. The necessity for assessing a number of psychological dimensions in a single session often demands “short” tests capable of assessing individual differences in abilities such as vigilance and maintenance of high performance levels. In the present paper two tasks were selected as candidates for playing this role, the Abbreviated Vigilance Task (AVT) by Temple, Warm, Dember, LaGrange and Matthews (1996) and the Continuous Attention Test (CAT) by Tiplady (1992) . However, when applied to a sample of 829 candidates in a job-selection process for air-traffic controllers, neither of them showed discriminative capacity. In a second study, an extended version of the CAT was applied to a similar sample of 667 subjects, but also proved incapable of properly detecting individual differences. In short, at least in a selection context such as that studied here, neither of the tasks appeared appropriate for playing the role of a “short” test for discriminating individual differences in performance deterioration in sustained attention.

The hotel industry is one of the most booming industry contributing tremendous growth in the global economy. It has never got affected by any kind of recession or economic turmoil, and this happens because of the fact that individuals/ families would need services of hotel industry for various reasons of human activities like business, recreation, pilgrimage educational tour, historical tours, festivals, carnivals, medical assistance trip etc. and so on. The biggest apprehension about this industry is attrition/turnover rate of employees; and to trounce this matter, selection of the right candidate at the right profile for the right post is the way to success. Selection criteria include all the essential and desirable skills, attributes, experience, and education which an organization decides is necessary for a position. Selection criteria help to select the most capable, effective, suited, experienced, qualified, the person for the job. Applicants must demonstrate and prove the ways in which they will be of valued for the job and the organization. Job selection criteria are also known as key selection criteria or KSC. They are designed to help make the most accurate match between the requirements of a position and the skills of an applicant. For selecting the right candidate, perfect for a particular job, selection has to be well planned, tactically accurate and strategically correct, as there is a huge pressure of short listing, filtering and selecting the right candidate, which makes the whole exercise lengthy as well as painstaking.

Multi criteria decision making problem was considered. Review of existing multi criteria decision making methods was presented. Methods of solving this problem can be divided into two large groups: methods using the aggregation of all alternatives according to all criteria and the solution of the obtained one-criterion problem, the second group is associated with the procedure of pairwise comparisons. Promethee method have been considered with details. This method is based on the pairwise comparison of alternatives and specific aggregation procedures. The preference function are considered for minimization and maximization cases. As practice problem the job selection is considered. Three important criteria are used: salary, time, risk. The results of all computations are presented.

Women have consistently higher levels of disgust than men. This sex difference is substantial in magnitude, highly replicable, emerges with diverse assessment methods, and affects a wide array of outcomes—including job selection, mate choice, food aversions, and psychological disorders. Despite the importance of this far-reaching sex difference, sound theoretical explanations have lagged behind the empirical discoveries. In this article, we focus on the evolutionary-functional level of analysis, outlining hypotheses capable of explaining why women have higher levels of disgust than men. We present four hypotheses for sexual disgust and six for pathogen disgust, along with testable predictions. Discussion focuses on additional new hypotheses and on future research capable of adjudicating among these competing, but not mutually exclusive, hypotheses.
