Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Robert wants the assistant manager to have excellent technical skills, and work sampling is a suitable selection device to evaluate those skills. Work sampling involves observing applicants perform tasks similar to those that they would be doing in the actual job, allowing Robert to assess their technical capabilities. Ethical skills are not assessed through work sampling, and while interpersonal skills may also be observed, they are not the primary focus in this scenario. Reactive and associative skills are not relevant to this situation.
