Developing a Procedure to Correct for Range Restriction That Involves Both Institutional Selection and Applicants’ Rejection of Job Offers
开发了一种校正范围限制的新程序，适用于机构选择和求职者拒绝工作邀请同时存在的实际验证场景，并讨论了该程序所需的数据条件。
A common research problem in validation studies is the estimation of the population correlation between predictor X and performanceY from a non–randomly selected sample. Procedures for getting unbiased estimates of population correlations in a limited set of conditions in which no rejection of job offers is assumed have been developed. However, in applied selection settings, it is very likely that some of the candidates who have received job offers reject them through a selfselection process. If an estimation model based on the assumption that there is no rejection of job offers via self-selection is used, estimates of population parameters may be biased due to model misspecification. In the current study, a procedure is developed that is applicable to a variety of realistic validation settings, including a setting in which both institutional selection and applicant’s rejection of job offers are involved. Data requirements of the procedure are also discussed.
