EVALUATING DEVELOPMENTAL ASSESSMENT CENTERS AS INTERVENTIONS
研究了发展性评价中心是否有效干预职业发展，发现参与者的发展活动与职业晋升相关，且评价者对职业动机的评分能预测发展活动和晋升。
This study addresses the question of whether developmental assessment centers are effective interventions. Career outcomes of assessment center participants ( n = 151) were evaluated with respect to center ratings, developmental activity, and acceptance of feedback. Although comparison between a subgroup of assessees ( n = 113) and a naturally occurring control group of non‐assessees ( n = 167) showed no differences in terms of career advancement, findings within the assessee sample did show that developmental activity related to advancement. Findings also showed that assessors' ratings of career motivation, rather than ratings of knowledge or skill (KS) dimensions, predicted both developmental activity and career advancement.
