Managing Selection in
Changing Organizations
Jn 1992, the Society for
Industrial and Organizational Psychology's Personnel Selection in Organizations introduced
thousands of human resource professionals to the latest research informing employee
selection in contemporary organizations. Now, Managing Selection in Changing Organizations
presents guidelines for using that research to design and manage programs that will build
high-performance workforces in today's hyper-competitive marketplace.
Designed to function as a
complete source-book for selection program managers, selection consultants, and selection
researchers and students, Managing Selection in Changing Organizations describes the
organizational, regulatory, and professional factors that impact the effectiveness of
selection programs. In eleven chapters, twenty-two contributing authors apply their
extensive experience and expertise to explaining the key success factors for corporate
selection strategies.
From an organizational
perspective, the first section of the book shows how changes in business processes and
worker demographics have affected selection programs and reviews the links between
selection and other HR systems. It offers an analysis of the effect the selection
experience has on employees, and it explores the selection issues that arise in
organizations that have union representation, work teams, and international workforces.
From a regulatory
perspective, the middle chapters analyze recent case law pertaining to employee
discrimination and the treatment of employees with disabilities. The concluding chapters
explore the link between social policy, selection research, and practice, providing a
framework for ongoing discussion and debate about the social ramifications of work within
the field.
As a whole, the book brings
together today's leading selection theorists and practitioners to help industrial
psychologists, human resource managers, and other professionals address the most important
issues facing employee selection today.
