CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN ESTIMATES OF CONTENT AND CRITERION‐RELATED VALIDITY VALUES
研究了在保险代理人选拔中，内容效度与效标关联效度两种验证策略推断的一致性，发现对有经验申请者的面试指南存在显著但微弱的相关，而对无经验者则不成立。
The correspondence between inferences made using two validation strategies–content and criterion‐related–were examined in a specific personnel selection application. Empirical validity values and Law‐she's (1975) content validity ratios (CVR) were obtained for items from three structured interview guides used in the selection of insurance agents. Ratings of each item by over 300 field managers were used to calculate the CVR values. Statistically significant, yet modest correlations were found between empirical item validities and content validities for an interview guide used to select applicants with prior insurance sales experience. No significant differences were found among these correlations by comparing job experts of different levels of managerial experience and experience in selection. Data for the interview guide used to select experienced applicants also indicated that a content validity approach can be useful in developing a selection instrument with an empirically valid composite rating. The hypotheses were not confirmed for interview guides used to select applicants with no prior insurance sales experience. The practical importance of these results are discussed, as are plans for future research.
