SIMULATION‐BASED ASSESSMENT OF MANAGERIAL COMPETENCE: RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY
评估了一种准实验模拟技术在测量多种管理风格（包括认知复杂性）对高管绩效影响方面的信度和效度，发现该技术能捕捉其他方法无法测量的管理风格。
Prior work based on complexity theory has attempted, with some success, to predict general and managerial performance in complex, uncertain, and fluid task settings. The present paper evaluates a quasi‐experimental simulation technique that was specifically designed to measure the impact of individual differences in a number of managerial styles (including a style reflecting cognitive complexity) on executive performance. Twenty simulation‐based measures were tested for reliability and validity. On the basis of the data obtained from two separate samples, it was concluded that this quasi‐experimental simulation technology may be useful for assessing a number of managerial styles that are not currently tapped by other measurement methods. Research results reported in this paper, as well as results obtained in other concurrent efforts, are summarized.
