Currently. most personnel psychologists view job performance as multidimensional<br />

construct. For example, using data obtained from the Project A study, Campell,<br />

McHenry. and Wise (1990) have developed a model of Army job performance that<br />

has five factors: core technical proficiency, general soldier proficiency, effort and<br />

leadership, personal discipline, and physical fitness and military bearing. Clearly,<br />

performance on system performance tasks is closely related to one of these<br />

components--technical proficiency. As Sadacca, Campell. Difazio. Schultz, and<br />

White (1990) have pointed out the utility of the different job components may vary<br />

across jobs. The need to raise a particular MOS ASVAB cut-off will depend on how<br />

much importance Army decision makers attach to technical proficiency vice the<br />

other job components for the particular MOS being investigated.<br />
