Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Job analysis is the process of identifying the knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics (KSAOs) required for successful job performance. By conducting a job analysis, the content of selection tests or test batteries can be compared to the KSAOs required for the job, establishing content validity. Correlational analysis is a statistical method used to examine the relationship between two or more variables. Job evaluation is the process of determining the relative worth of different jobs within an organization. An experiment involves manipulating one or more variables to observe the effect on another variable, but it is not commonly used for establishing content validity.
