Implications of Methodological Advances for the Practice of Personnel Selection: How Practitioners Benefit from Meta-analysis
讨论元分析方法如何影响人员选拔实践，回顾过去30年专业和法律实践的变化，并评估三种常用选拔工具（一般心理能力测试、人格测试和结构化面试）的预测能力，旨在弥合学术研究与组织实践之间的差距。
We discuss how meta-analysis, a method for synthesizing research findings, can meaningfully impact personnel selection practices. Specifically, we review important changes in professional and legal practices from the past 30 years resulting from meta-analytic findings. The implications of using meta-analysis methods for evaluating utilities of selection procedures and for assessing relative predictive capabilities of three popular selection tools (general mental ability tests, personality tests, and structured interviews) are further discussed. Based on these implications, we propose that meta-analysis can play an important role in bridging the gap between academic research and organizational practices.
