Development of a Weighted Application Blank for the Carryout Clerk Classification in a Large Retail Organization

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a Weighted Application Blank to predict turnover for use as a selection tool for a large retail organization. Utilizing the England (1971) procedure, it was hypothesized that significant derivation and cross-validities would be obtained. The hypothesis was partially supported: the derivation validity coefficient was significant (r = .28, p \u3c .01) and the resulting cross-validity coefficient was net significant (r = 19, p \u3c .05). The results and recommendations for implementation of the WAB are discussed
