Construction et validation d’une épreuve de groupe élaborée dans le cadre d’un « assessment center » pour des officiers de marine

Si les études antérieures ont établi la validité prédictive des Assessment Center (A.C.) dans le domaine de l’évaluation du personnel et du recrutement, leur validité de construit n’a pas été démontrée. Dans le cadre d’un travail plus large visant à construire et valider un « Assessment Center » destiné à des officiers de la marine nationale française, nous avons élaboré une épreuve de groupe (discussion sans leader assigné), dont nous présenterons ici la construction et la validation (validité de contenu, de construit et validité prédictive) ; ces validités ont été testées sur un échantillon de 125 officiers de marine. Nous décrirons ici la construction de grilles d’observation « comportementales » et la formation des observateurs. Tout d’abord, des analyses factorielles exploratoires ont été menées sur les données collectées et trois dimensions furent identifiées (prise d’initiatives efficaces, travail en équipe, autoritarisme). Ensuite, des régressions linéaires multiples ont été calculées entre ces trois facteurs et un critère ultérieur de réussite professionnelle. Ces dimensions ont avec le critère un coefficient de régression multiple significatif (R2 = .43). Les mises en situation apportent des informations complémentaires précieuses que les tests psychométriques classiques ne permettent pas de capturer, soit les interactions entre individus et situations professionnelles.If past research has established the predictive validity of Assessment Centers (A.C.) in the field of personnel assessment and recruitment, their construct validity has not been demonstrated. Within the framework of a larger study aiming to construct and validate an Assessment Center for French Navy officers, we elaborated a group situation (leaderless group discussion), whose construction and validation (content, construct and predictive validity) will be presented here. The validities were tested on a sample of 125 navy officers. We describe here the construction of behavioral checklists and the training of the observers. First, exploratory factor analyses were conducted on the data gathered, and three factors were identified (initiative, teamwork, authoritarianism). Then, linear multiple regressions were calculated between these three factors and a criterion of further professional performance. These factors have a significant multiple regression coefficient with the criterion (R2 = .43). The situational tests bring us precious complementary information that classical psychometrical tests cannot capture, e.g. the interactions between individuals and professional situations

The dark triad personality traits and work behaviors: A person-centered approach

To date, research on the dark triad has mainly adopted a variable-centered perspective to investigate work-related outcomes of each dimension of the dark triad, thus not considering their potential combined effects. To overcome this issue, authors have begun to examine the dimensions of the dark triad by adopting a person-centered approach. Because the existing literature on this topic is still scarce, more person-centered studies are needed. Accordingly, by relying on a person-centered approach, we explored the latent profiles of 447 French employees' dark triad traits, characterized by their levels of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. This research also investigated the associations between these profiles and work behaviors (i.e., job performance and counterproductive work behaviors). Latent profile analysis identified four latent profiles (i.e., benevolent, high Machiavellianism, high psychopathy, and malevolent), which differentially predicted individuals' work behaviors. More interestingly, the results showed that the malevolent profile was associated with the highest job performance. Overall, our findings provide important contributions to the literature on the dark triad and pave the way for future research

Psychometric Properties of the French Adaptation of the Multidimensional Body Self Relations Questionnaire–Appearance Scales

International audienceThe present study investigated the psychometric properties of the French adaptation of the Multidimensional Body Self Relations Questionnaire–Appearance Scales, a widely used instrument in body image research. The questionnaire is composed of five subscales: Appearance Orientation, Appearance Evaluation, Overweight Preoccupation, Self-classified Weight, and the Body Areas Satisfaction Scale. Exploratory factor analyses were conducted on a sample of 765 subjects for the first two subscales. As expected, the analyses yielded two factors: Appearance Orientation and Appearance Evaluation. Internal consistencies ranged between .66 and .88 and test-retest reliabilities ranged between .78 and .85 for the five subscales. Appearance evaluation and the Body Areas Satisfaction Scale showed good convergent validity with the Body Image Questionnaire. Validity was supported by comparing scores for sex, for groups according to body mass index (underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese), and by exploring the influence of social desirability
