Situational judgement tests for selection
When situational judgement tests (SJTs) began to regain popularity among the scientific
community in the 1990s, there was an implicit notion that they captured contextdependent
knowledge. In fact, the term âsituational judgementâ carries the connotation of
testâtakersâ responses being more effective when they consider the specifics of the situation.
In recent years another perspective has emerged, which views SJTs as capturing relatively
contextâindependent knowledge (or general domain knowledge; Motowidlo, Crook, Kell
& Naemi, 2009; Motowidlo, Hooper & Jackson, 2006a). Although SJTs and their items
will often fall somewhere between these two perspectives, we posit in this chapter that it
might be useful to distinguish between them. So far, there has been no review of the SJT
literature in terms of these two approaches. This is understandable, as over the years the
two perspectives have emerged alongside each other. Therefore, the aim of this chapter is
to review SJT research according to these two approaches
Narcissism: An Integrative Synthesis and Dominance Complementarity Model
Narcissism has become an increasingly popular research topic in recent years. We describe why it is beneficial for organizational researchers to study narcissism due to its two strongest organizational correlates: counterproductive work behavior and leadership. We explore why narcissists perform counterproductive work behavior and offer advice on what organizations can do to prevent narcissistsâ counterproductivity. Subsequently, we discuss narcissismâs relationship with leadership effectiveness, and propose a Narcissistic Leaders and Dominance Complementarity Model, which examines the dynamic interaction of narcissistic leadersâ characteristics with those of their followers to predict leadership effectiveness. Finally, we suggest four areas of management that may benefit from incorporating narcissism as a determinant of their respective organizational outcomes of interest: international management, social issues in management/corporate social responsibility, entrepreneurship, and negotiation
