Predicting Performance Ratings Using Motivational Antecedents

Category : Motivation (Psychology)

Pages : 77
Book Description
This research examined the role of motivation in predicting peer and trainer ratings of student performance and contrasted the relative importance of various antecedents for peer and trainer ratings. Ability, experience, and self- report personality and belief measures were collected from 239 enlisted male Army soldiers attending training for special Forces. At the conclusion of the first phase of the training, performance ratings were obtained from peers and trainers. LISREL8 was used to test a path model predicting performance ratings. Results showed observer ratings of effort and self-reported task sell-efficacy played a role in predicting ratings of task-specific performance. Self-report measures of mastery beliefs, achievement orientation, and locus of control were not significant contributors to the performance rating models, while the soldier's prior experience had both direct effects on performance as well as indirect effects through self-efficacy and effort. The lack of importance of the personality measures is discussed with respect to the high level of variation among the students on level of prior experience. Finally, analyses indicated that peer raters included more information about interpersonal skills in their rating of overall performance than did trainers. Utilization of these findings with regard to performance evaluation systems is discussed.

Book Description
"The Special Operations Proponency Office (SOPO) at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Warfare Warfare Center and School (USAJFKSWCS) requested help from the U.S. Army Special Operations Command Psychological Application Directorate (PAD) and the U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) in identifying prescreening tools that could be used to identify which soldiers have the greatest chance for success in the Special Forces (SF) selection and tralning pipeline. This information would allow SOPO to minimize recruitment of soldiers with little chance of completing Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS), and allow slots to be filled by soldiers who have a greater probability of success."-- Stinet.
Self-assessment Based Mini-after Action Review (SAMAAR) Methodology

Pages : 78
Book Description
"This research was conducted as a pilot effort in proparation for anticipated future research applications of the self assessment based mini-AAR (SAMAAR) approach. The approach combines the Army's Socratic based after action review with the Delphi technique. Delphi elicits independent judgments from experts before bringing them together to solve problems as a group. In the SAMAAR approach, trainees, at the end of an excerise day or shift fill out rating forms to assess the units training progress and then convine with their completed forms to participate in a mini-AAR. The mini-AAR is preliminary training review carried out by small groups prior to an end of exercise after action review. SAMAAR was developmentally applied to Division Artillery Staff training at Fort Hood. The approach was judged by training participants to be a feasible and timely way to support training feedback."--DTIC.

Author: Underemployment
Author: Douglas C. MaynardPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441994130
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
Underemployment – when people are employed in some way that is insufficient, such as being overqualified or working part-time when one desires full-time employment – is a challenge faced by all industrialized nations and their organizations and individuals. Just like unemployment, some level of underemployment exists even in the best of times, but it becomes more pervasive when the job market is weak. Given the current economic climate in North America and abroad, researchers and scholars in various disciplines (psychology, business, sociology, economics) are becoming more interested in investigating the effects of underemployment and identifying possible practical solutions. Underemployment synthesizes the current understanding of the phenomenon by bringing together scholars with diverse perspectives and expertise with the aim of informing and guiding the next generation of underemployment research.
