Pay for Performance is the best resource to date on the issues of whether these concepts work and how they can be applied most effectively in the workplace.

It focuses on the needs of the federal government, exploring how the federal pay system evolved; available evidence on federal employee attitudes toward their work, their pay, and their reputation with the public; and the complicating and pervasive factor of politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only complete, well-organized, practical and fully-indexed course book and reference guide to personal property appraising. Written with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) as its foundation, this book is unique. No other book provides such a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of personal property appraising.This new 2nd edition incorporates many important improvements and additions - perhaps the most significant of which were brought about by The Appraisal Foundation Appraisal Standards Board's recent biennial update to USPAP. The resulting changes that were incorporated into the 2008-2009 edition of USPAP are mirrored throughout the book. Other improvements include additional topics and enhanced discussions on a host of subjects including when appraisers should comply with USPAP, appraisal updates, intended use and intended user, value types and definitions, using more than one appraiser, scope of work, use of photographs in lieu of a personal inspection, disclosure statements, significant personal property appraisal assistance, workfiles and more."Maloney's guide to proper personal property appraisal methodology is so thorough that it can truly be called the only complete source on the subject. This essential guide to the preparation of ethical and professional appraisal reports should not only be a required addition to any appraiser's library but should be on the shelves of every public library as well. Owners of the book even have the ability to obtain updates online at no cost ? an especially useful feature in a field where USPAP and IRS regulations can go through periodic modifications," said Peter Hastings Falk.

Download or read book Essentials of Personnel Assessment and Selection written by Scott Highhouse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition provides managers and students the nuts and bolts of assessment processes and selection techniques. With this knowledge, managers learn to make informed personnel decisions based on the results of tests and assessments. The book emphasizes that employee performance predictions require well-formed hypotheses about personal characteristics that may be related to valued behavior at work. It also stresses the need for developing a theory of the attribute one hypothesizes as a predictor—a thought process too often missing from work on selection procedures. Topics such as team-member selection, situational judgment tests, nontraditional tests, individual assessment, and testing for diversity are explored. The book covers both basic and advanced concepts in personnel selection in a straightforward, readable style intended to be used in both undergraduate and graduate courses in Personnel Selection and Assessment.
