Despite the popularity of the employment interview in the employee selection literature and organizational talent selection process, few have examined the comments interviewers give after each interview. This study investigated the predictability of the match between interviewer post-interview notes and radar charts from job analysis on the candidate’s later career performance using text mining techniques and data from one of the largest internet-based technology companies in China. A large sample of 7,650 interview candidates who passed the interviews and joined the company was obtained to show that the number of job-related capabilities interviewers mentioned in their notes was positively related to candidate’s job performance, the number of promotions, and negatively related to turnover. Moreover, the dimensions of the radar chart from job analysis covered in the interview moderated the predictability of interview post-interview notes. Our results indicated that a smaller number of radar chart dimensions by which interviewers assessed the candidates in the interview positively moderated candidates’ promotion for product development jobs, and negatively moderated turnover for technical jobs. The implications of these results for structured interview research in both theory and practice are discussed.

Overall Reliability

Abstract Background Although never directly compared, structured interviews are reported as being more reliable than unstructured interviews. This study compared the reliability of both types of interview when applied to a common pool of applicants for positions in an emergency medicine residency program. Methods In 2008, one structured interview was added to the two unstructured interviews traditionally used in our resident selection process. A formal job analysis using the critical incident technique guided the development of the structured interview tool. This tool consisted of 7 scenarios assessing 4 of the domains deemed essential for success as a resident in this program. The traditional interview tool assessed 5 general criteria. In addition to these criteria, the unstructured panel members were asked to rate each candidate on the same 4 essential domains rated by the structured panel members. All 3 panels interviewed all candidates. Main outcomes were the overall, interitem, and interrater reliabilities, the correlations between interview panels, and the dimensionality of each interview tool. Results Thirty candidates were interviewed. The overall reliability reached 0.43 for the structured interview, and 0.81 and 0.71 for the unstructured interviews. Analyses of the variance components showed a high interrater, low interitem reliability for the structured interview, and a high interrater, high interitem reliability for the unstructured interviews. The summary measures from the 2 unstructured interviews were significantly correlated, but neither was correlated with the structured interview. Only the structured interview was multidimensional. Conclusions A structured interview did not yield a higher overall reliability than both unstructured interviews. The lower reliability is explained by a lower interitem reliability, which in turn is due to the multidimensionality of the interview tool. Both unstructured panels consistently rated a single dimension, even when prompted to assess the 4 specific domains established as essential to succeed in this residency program.

The face of the employment interview has been gradually transforming over the past fifty years with the culmination of new research, theory, and practices. Now more than ever, researchers and human resource professionals are demanding interview formats that accurately and reliably predict a plethora of criteria in addition to the job candidate's skill set. No longer is the implementation of the traditional structured interview format sufficient for screening applicants. The effective interview is on its way to being transformed into a multifaceted instrument that aims to surpass the predictive precision of standardized selection tests. This article outlines the impetus of research, theory, and practice that spurred on the interview's transformation and the long-term payoff which employers are receiving from the changes. It gives a glimpse of where the employment interview is headed in the upcoming decade and the factors that make today's employment interview so effective.

This study investigated the degree to which employment interview performance was associated with the time of day at which the interviews were conducted. Interview time included the actual time of day in which the interview was conducted, as well as the relative order in which applicants were scheduled (e.g., first interview in the morning, last interview prior to lunch, etc.). The data were based upon records of 818 actual interviews conducted between September, 1988 and December, 1990 for a wide range of job classifications in a large West Coast electric utility. The comprehensive structured interview format was used for all interviews included in the study. Interview questions were developed on the basis of a detailed job analysis, and a three-member panel of interviewers rated the applicants using a 7-point or 9-point Likert-type scale tied to benchmark answers. Results indicated that the time of day had no appreciable effect on interview ratings.

Purpose: This study aims to theorize new conceptual linkages between two popular paradigms of management research personality (Big Five Trait) and ethics (Ethical Ideology). Big Five personality traits and ethical ideology dimensions (idealism and relativism) relationship with job outcomes such as interpersonal conflict, workplace deviance, and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) were proposed. Methodology: This study adopted a longitudinal field survey design. Data analysis for descriptive, regression, and correlation techniques, was done using SPSS v 17 whereas conduct Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) of study variables was done using AMOS v 16. Main Findings: Results revealed significant association of i) extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness with OCB, ii) Agreeableness and neuroticism with workplace deviance and iii) agreeableness, openness to experience, neuroticism with interpersonal conflict. Moreover, agreeableness was a significant predictor of idealism ethical ideology, neuroticism and openness to experience were significant predictors of relativism ethical ideology. Idealism significantly predicted interpersonal conflict and OCB and relativism significantly predicted workplace deviance and interpersonal conflict. Idealism ethical ideology mediated between extraversion and interpersonal conflict, agreeableness and interpersonal conflict as well as OCB. On the other hand, relativism ethical ideology mediated between openness to experience and interpersonal conflict. Similarly, relativism also mediated between neuroticism and two job outcomes (interpersonal conflict, workplace deviance). Limitations/ Applications: Future research directions and implications for theory and practice are suggested. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study explained the conceptual mechanism that individual outcomes of the Big Five traits are determined through the ethical ideology of the respective personality trait; moreover, this study also added empirical evidence in existing OB literature from a unique cultural context i.e., Pakistan.

This article, developed at the regional campus of a university, located 200 miles south from Santiago de Chile, shows how 185 students of preschool, elementary and middle education, experience and perceive the relationship theory-practice from their insertion in the school environment. The mixed approach adopted relies on an opinion questionnaire and a semi-structured interview administered in the tutoring spaces. The results show that 39% of the teaching students believe that theory and practice are opposite realities, while 31% say that the theory depends on practice. In that scenario, the initial teaching training faces the challenge to create spaces and devices that allow the teaching student to get familiar with a few sets of flexible and changing rules to understand the specificity of the teaching process, from a proper theory-practice relationship.

AbstractThe aims of this study were: i) to analyze whether relative age effect occurs in the athletes of the junior national teams and professional athletes in Spain in general and in soccer and basketball, and ii) to compare the long-term success of the players selected for the junior national team between these sports. The samples for this study were Spanish professional soccer (n = 461) and basketball (n = 250) players in the 2013-2014 premier league and players from the junior Spanish soccer (i.e., n = 273; U-17: n = 107; U-19: n = 166) and basketball (i.e., n = 240; U-18: n = 120, U-16: n = 120) teams that classified to play in the European Championships (from 2004 to 2013). Junior players (42.3%) were more frequently born in the 1st quarter of the year than the professional players (30.7%) (χ2(3) = 30.07; p = .001; Vc = .157). This was found in both basketball (χ2(3) = 12.2.; p = .007; Vc = .158) and soccer (χ2(3) = 20.13; p < .001; Vc = .166). Long-term success is more frequent in soccer, where 59.9% of the juniors selected for the national team played later in the premier league, while in basketball that percentage was 39.6% (χ2(1) = 14.64; p < .001; Vc = .201). On the other hand, 79.4% and 39.8% of the professional soccer and basketball players had been previously selected for junior national teams (χ2(1) = 60.2; p < .001; Vc = .386), respectively. The talent selection process should be reviewed as players born in the second half of the year have fewer opportunities to stand out.

The purpose of this study was to determine the talent selection methods applied to athletes involved in different sports branches in Turkey. The research population consisted of 724 volunteer athletes who were active in sports clubs in thirty seven different cities of Turkey. Semi-structured interview form was used as data collection tool. It was determined that no talent test was applied to 512 (70.72%) of 724 athletes who participated in the study and 212 (29.28%) were put to talent test methods by their coaches. Of 212 athletes who were put to talent test, 41 (5.66%) were observed for their physical characteristics, 59 (8.14%) for their competitions, 75 (10.35%) for their basic motor skills (speed, strength, endurance, coordination, balance, flexibility and agility) and 37 (5.11%) for their technical capacities in competitions. As a result; it is estimated that the application of physical, mental, physiological, body composition and genetic tests all together while determining the talent selection in sports will be the most effective method to detect talented athletes.

Objetivo: averiguar as ações pedagógicas adotadas por docentes de um curso de Licenciatura em Educação Física para abordar a escola no decorrer das aulas. Métodos: participaram da pesquisa 41 acadêmicos do último ano e 18 professores permanentes de um curso de Licenciatura em Educação Física, os quais participaram de entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram tratados por meio de análise de conteúdo, com a utilização do software de análise qualitativa NVivo 10. Resultados: Os resultados demonstram que os professores, de modo geral, estabelecem relações entre os conteúdos e a escola por meio de discussões nas salas de aula na universidade, ou ainda promovem aulas simuladas, nas quais os acadêmicos planejam e ensinam conteúdos para a própria turma no ambiente universitário. No entanto, constatou-se que são raras as ações que oportunizam a aproximação entre teoria e prática, por meio de encontros, visitas, aulas e demais práticas de ensino no contexto escolar da Educação Básica. Conclusão: reforça-se a necessidade de possibilitar ao futuro professor de Educação Física a sua imersão na realidade da escola, como forma de vivenciar in loco os elementos básicos e aplicados do ser professor.ABSTRACT.  Pedagogical actions linked to school in the physical education initial training. Objective: to investigate the pedagogical actions adopted by professors of a degree in Physical Education to approach the school in the course of the classes. Methods: thirty-one students of a last year course and eighteen permanent professors from a Physical Education degree participated in the study, by a semi-structured interview. The results were treated through content analysis using the NVivo 10 qualitative analysis software. Results: the results demonstrate that professors, in general, establish relationships between content and school through discussions in the classroom university, or they promote simulated classes in which students plan and teach content for their own class in the university environment. However, it has been observed that there are few opportunities in which the approach between theory and practice is approached through meetings, visits, classes and other teaching practices in the school context of Basic Education. Conclusion:  the need to enable the future Physical Education teacher to be immersed in the reality of the school is reinforced as a way of experiencing in practice the basic and applied elements of being a teacher.

The research examines the determinants of job analysis and competency models affecting employee’s motivation and competencies in a manufacturing firm. Data were obtained from a readymade garments based on structured questionnaire. Results show that competency has no relationship with rewards, motivation, and job description. Conversely, competency is positively related with performance appraisal, motivation, training, and selection process. The study also reports that rewards and job specifications are futile to leverage employee’s competencies. It further suggests that harnessing these variables might contribute the firm with potential to enhance motivation and competency level to a greater extent.

O aumento da violência urbana reflete diretamente na complexidade do atendimento em emergências, tornando-se imprescindível o atendimento ágil, realizado por profissionais capacitados. Este estudo teve por objetivo conhecer a assistência prestada por enfermeiros a pacientes com Traumatismo Cranioencefálico (TCE), em um serviço de emergência hospitalar. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados nesta pesquisa são do tipo exploratório e descritivo e se encontram estruturados, a partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa, desenvolvida no Pronto Socorro Adulto de um Hospital de referência da região central do Rio Grande do Sul e teve dez enfermeiros como participantes. . Os dados foram coletados entre março e junho de 2010, por meio de observação e entrevista semiestruturada, com questões fechadas e abertas. Constatou-se que em parte a assistência é adequada, porém se evidencia um leve distanciamento entre a teoria e a prática no atendimento. Acredita-se que a implantação de protocolo para atendimentos facilitaria as ações de enfermagem e, ainda, se ressalta que a busca contínua pelo conhecimento proporciona uma melhor atuação e implementação do cuidado. A limitação do estudo se deve a não implantação de uma sistematização, por meio de protocolos neste serviço, o que dificulta a atuação mais padronizada pelos Enfermeiros participantes. Sugere-se que novos estudos sejam realizados, em diferentes serviços, a fim de aperfeiçoar os elementos encontrados nesta pesquisa e identificar aspectos relevantes para outros serviços e regiões.Palavras-chave: Enfermagem em Emergência.

Data were collected between March and June 2010, through observation and semi-structured interview with closed and open questions. It was found that to some extent, assistance is adequate, however, there is evidence of a slight gap between theory and practice in the service provided. It is believed that the protocol implementation to facilitate care nursing actions, and it is still noteworthy that the continuous search for knowledge provides better performance and care implementation. The limitation of the study is due to not implementing a systematization using protocols in this service, which makes it more difficult a more standardized action by nurses participants. It is suggested that further studies be carried out in different services in order to improve the elements found in this research and identify relevant aspects to other services and regionsKeywords: Emergency Nursing.
