Problem Early identification of people who will perform reliably during their Navy career would be a useful selection and assignment tool. Validated tools currently are not available. Objectives Recent meta-analyses indicate that standard personality measures predict organizational performance variables, particularly organizational delinquency behaviors, such as absenteeism, drug abuse, and alcohol problems. This study was undertaken to evaluate the potential for developing screening/selection tools to predict these behavioral components of unreliability in U.S. Navy personnel.
