5028.85 Managerial competence oriented situational judgment tests and construct validation,
Yanghua Jin, Zhongming Wang, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China
Using 2 different samples, this study tested the construct validity and criteria-related validity of
construct-oriented situational judgment test. Confirmatory factor analysis results demonstrated
that 3-dimension structure fitted the data significantly better than single-dimension solution. The
Situational judgment test was a valid predicator in both samples. Concurrent validity was .43 to
self-reported performance measures, and .18 to objective performance criteria. Research evidence
suggested that situational judgment test was effective method to evaluate managerial competence.
Construct-oriented situational judgment test development approach was also supported.
5028.86 A empirically research on the taxonomy of job performance, Zhiyi Wen, Dejun Guo,
Department of Psychology, Capital Normal University, Beijing, China
The purpose of the present research was to explore and confirm a taxonomy of job performance.
Two studies were conducted to address this issue. In Study 1, a job-performance-rating-scale was
developed, and exploratory-factor-analysis (N=145) yielded a four-factor solution, named Task,
Interpersonal, Adaptive and Dedicative Performance (the four factors’ Alphas were all above .91,
and multiple linear regression’s R=.86). Study 2 compared the four-factor-model with the other
four models derived from W. C. Borman & S. J. Motowidlo (1993), B. Allworth & E. Hesketh
(1997), etc. Confirmatory-factor-analysis (N=327) indicated a best fit for the four-factor-model
(X2/df=2.97, GFI=.95, AGFI=.90, CFI=.99). Results and implications for the taxonomy of job
performance were also discussed.
5028.87 The research of human resource strategies base on cluster theory, Li Jiang, Psychology
Department of South China Normal University, China
Clusters is an economic phenomenon whereby large numbers of companies in related industries
together in a small area. It is not only an effective method to raise the area economy, but also one
of the most important patterns of the world's economy development. This article studied the
distinct Human Resource strategies that brought by the Clusters, including drawing up strategies,
recruiting, learning, performance appraisal, culture of corporation. Then, We compared the
differences in human Resource strategies of high level clusters with the low one and finally
advanced some suggestion on the issue how to develop our own Clusters better.
5028.88 Role stress, organisational commitment and turnover intention among Singapore’s social
workers, David Wan, Tak Kee Hui, Eddie Lim, Business School, National University of
Singapore, Singapore
This study examines the relationship between role stressors, organisational commitment and
turnover intention among social workers in Singapore. Social support from their supervisors and
optimism are introduced as potential moderators for the effects of stress on commitment. Using a
sample of 132 social workers from randomly selected social service agencies, our results show
that role stressors have a significant effect on the level of organisational commmitment. In turn,
commitment mediates the relationship between stress and turnover intention. Finally, social
support moderates the effects of role stress on commmitment while optimism does not.
