Two concurrent criterion-related validity studies were conducted with blue-collar workers employed in Australia. The first sample consisted of 77 unskilled and semi-skilled manufacturing employees. The second sample consisted of 243 stockpeople who worked in piggeries. A range of work-related criteria was used, and this range differed across the two studies. The results showed that Employment Inventory-Performance was a reasonable predictor of some aspects of supervisor ratings of work performance but unrelated to other aspects. A similar pattern of findings emerged with self-ratings of work performance. Employment Inventory-Tenure was weakly related to turnover intentions and actual turnover.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
