This book was released on 1991 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army's Project A developed and validated measures of abilities other than the general cognitive domain covered by the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Busciglio (1990) analyzed data from the 1985 Concurrent Validation phase of Project A and found that Project A spatial scores substantially incremented the predictive validity of ASVAB. However, a number of questions were left unanswered. How useful are spatial abilities to performance in various entry-level Army jobs? Do spatial tests remain valid predictors after the ASVAB subtests have been added to prediction equations? Busciglio's (1990) original sample of 4,039 individuals in nine entry-level MOS was again used. Predictors were the ASVAB and the Project A spatial tests. Criteria were comprehensive measures of job performance and included written and hands-on tests of common and MOS-specific tasks. Backward stepwise multiple regression analyses were performed to answer the research questions. In comparing the results with those of Busciglio (1990), it was found that the spatial tests accounted for approximately as much criterion variance as did the ASVAB tests, indicating the importance of spatial skills to the performance of many Army jobs. Also, several of the spatial tests were especially strong predictors of the criterion measures across MOS, suggesting that they would lead to improved prediction of job performance if incorporated into the Army's selection composites. A number of methodological considerations are noted as an aid to interpreting these results.

This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the early 1980s and continuing through the middle 1990s, the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) sponsored a comprehensive research and development program to evaluate and enhance the Army's personnel selection and classification procedures. This was a set of interrelated efforts, collectively known as Project A. Project A had a number of basic and applied research objectives pertaining to selection and classification decision making. It focused on the entire selection and classification system for Army enlisted personnel and addressed research questions that can be generalized to other personnel systems. It involved the development and evaluation of a comprehensive array of predictor and criterion measures using samples of tens of thousands of individuals in a broad range of jobs. The research included a longitudinal sample--from which data were collected at organizational entry--following training, after 1-2 years on the job and after 3-4 years on the job. This book provides a concise and readable description of the entire Project A research program. The editors share the problems, strategies, experiences, findings, lessons learned, and some of the excitement that resulted from conducting the type of project that comes along once in a lifetime for an industrial/organizational psychologist. This book is of interest to industrial/organizational psychologists, including experienced researchers, consultants, graduate students, and anyone interested in personnel selection and classification research.

This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although ability testing has been an American preoccupation since the 1920s, comparatively little systematic attention has been paid to understanding and measuring the kinds of human performance that tests are commonly used to predictâ€"such as success at school or work. Now, a sustained, large-scale effort has been made to develop measures that are very close to actual performance on the job. The four military services have carried out an ambitious study, called the Joint-Service Job Performance Measurement/Enlistment Standards (JPM) Project, that brings new sophistication to the measurement of performance in work settings. Volume 1 analyzes the JPM experience in the context of human resource management policy in the military. Beginning with a historical overview of the criterion problem, it looks closely at substantive and methodological issues in criterion research suggested by the project: the development of performance measures; sampling, logistical, and standardization problems; evaluating the reliability and content representativeness of performance measures; and the relationship between predictor scores and performance measuresâ€"valuable information that can also be useful in the civilian workplace.
Download or read book Examining Optoelectronics in Machine Vision and Applications in Industry 4 0 written by Sergiyenko, Oleg and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research and exploitation of optoelectronic properties in the industrial branch of electronics is becoming more popular each day due to the important role they play in the development of a large variety of sensors, devices, and systems for identifying, measuring, and constructing. While optoelectronics study the applications of electronic devices that source, detect, and transform light, machine vision generates and detects light in order to provide imaging-based automatic inspections and analysis for such applications as automatic object and environmental inspection, process control, and robot/mobile machine guidance in industry. Machine vision is less efficient without optoelectronics, and thus, it is important to investigate the theoretical approaches to different optoelectronic devices available for machine vision as well as current scanning technologies. Examining Optoelectronics in Machine Vision and Applications in Industry 4.0 focuses on the examination of emerging technologies for the design, fabrication, and implementation of optoelectronic sensors, devices, and systems in a machine vision approach to support industrial, commercial, and scientific applications. The book covers topics such as the design, fabrication, and implementation of sensors and devices as well as the development viewpoint of optoelectronic systems and artificial vision techniques using optoelectronic devices. The interaction and informational communication between all these mentioned devices in the complex solution of the same task is the subject of modern challenges in Industry 4.0. Thus, this book supports engineers, technology developers, academicians, researchers, and students who seek machine vision techniques for detection, measurement, and 3D reconstruction.

Book excerpt: An updated version of Deborah Whetzel and George Wheaton's earlier volume, this text is a well-organized sourcebook for fundamental practices in industrial psychology and human resources management. Applied Measurement describes the process of job analysis and test development with practical examples and discusses various methods for measuring job performance. Its primary purpose is to provide practical, systematic guidance on how to develop the various kinds of measurement instruments frequently used in the fields of industrial psychology and human resources management to assess personnel. With easy to follow guidance written in straightforward language, Applied Measurement contains three new chapters focusing on training and experience measures, assessment centers, and methods for defending the content validity of tests; includes contributions from many prominent researchers in the field, all of whom have had a great deal of applied experience; begins each chapter with an overview describing the job analysis or measurement method; and uses one job, that of an electrician, as an example throughout the book so that readers can easily understand how to apply job analysis data for the purposes of test development and job performance measurement. This practical, concise book is recommended for students and entry-level practitioners in the fields of industrial psychology and human resources.
