Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find a pool of cheap, pliable workers and give them jobs—and soon they cease to be as cheap or as pliable. What is an employer to do then? Why, find another poor community desperate for work. This route—one taken time and again by major American manufacturers—is vividly chronicled in this fascinating account of RCA's half century-long search for desirable sources of labor. Capital Moves introduces us to the people most affected by the migration of industry and, most importantly, recounts how they came to fight against the idea that they were simply "cheap labor." Jefferson Cowie tells the dramatic story of four communities, each irrevocably transformed by the opening of an industrial plant. From the manufacturer's first factory in Camden, New Jersey, where it employed large numbers of southern and eastern European immigrants, RCA moved to rural Indiana in 1940, hiring Americans of Scotch-Irish descent for its plant in Bloomington. Then, in the volatile 1960s, the company relocated to Memphis where African Americans made up the core of the labor pool. Finally, the company landed in northern Mexico in the 1970s—a region rapidly becoming one of the most industrialized on the continent.

This book was released on 2013-09-18 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an all-volunteer service accepting applications from nearly 400,000 potential recruits annually from across the U.S. population, the U.S. military must accurately and efficiently assess the individual capability of each recruit for the purposes of selection, job classification, and unit assignment. New Directions for Assessing Performance Potential of Individuals and Groups is the summary of a workshop held April 3-4, 2013 to examine the future of military entrance assessments. This workshop was a part of the first phase of a larger study that will investigate cutting-edge research into the measurement of both individual capabilities and group composition in order to identify future research directions that may lead to improved assessment and selection of enlisted personnel for the U.S. Army. The workshop brought together scientists from a variety of relevant areas to focus on cognitive and noncognitive attributes that can be used in the initial testing and assignment of enlisted personnel. This report discusses the evolving goals of candidate testing, emerging constructs and theory, and ethical implications of testing methods.

Download or read book AN EVALUATION OF TEST TAKING PERFORMANCE IN A SELECTION CONTEXT THROUGH MOTIVATIONAL MECHANISMS AND JOB RELATEDNESS PERCEPTIONS written by Shelby Wise and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applicant reactions researchers have posited that perceptions of test fairness may have a direct affect on applicant motivation and test performance thus diminishing test validity as was proposed in the Justice Theory Framework Perspective. The Justice Theory Framework Perspective describes how situational characteristics inform perceptions of ten procedural justice rules which, in turn, contribute to fairness perceptions and more distally reactions during hiring, reactions after hiring, and applicant self-perceptions. Despite the commentary pertaining to this potential model, at this time, few researchers have empirically tested the aforementioned proposition regarding applicant reactions and test validity. To address this gap, this study nvestigated the relationship between the perceived job-relatedness of selection assessments and test performance through changes in test-taking self-efficacy and test motivation. Additionally, this model was tested while controlling for individual differences related to achievement (i.e. Conscientiousness and generalized self-efficacy). Results of this study indicate that perceptions of job-relatedness vary by selection test used (i.e. personality test, cognitive ability test, and situational judgment test) and that job-relatedness is significantly related to perceptions of overall process fairness. The model evaluated was also supported wherein job-relatedness predicted test performance through changes in self-efficacy and more distally test motivation. The findings suggest that the applicant reactions-performance relationship may be important in terms of testing proficiency and selection outcomes. Implications of these findings and recommendations for future research are further described.
