Significant Performance

The present study (N = 844) examined the predictive validity and fairness of the assessment center (AC) and the general mental ability (GMA) test used to select officers for the Swiss Armed Forces. We found that both selection methods predicted candidates’ academic and military performance at the end of their officer training. Furthermore, the AC had incremental validity beyond GMA, meaning that it cannot be replaced by the GMA test. Concerning the fairness of the selection methods, no significant performance differences were found between candidates from the different Swiss language regions. With one exception, no evidence for differential prediction was found, and for the single exception, the selection procedure used was not the source of the differential prediction. Thus, the AC and the GMA test were generally equally predictive for candidates from the German-speaking region as well as from the two other language regions of Switzerland. Taken together, the present study attests to the good predictive validity and fairness of the methods used to select officers.

High Attrition Rate

Job embeddedness (JE) is an emerging concept in the field of employee turnover research and suggests some novel and stimulating ways to think about employee retention globally. Although research implications of JE are encouraging, there is a paucity of research on the topic domestically, which limits the practical efficacy of the same. Indian organizations, therefore, being bitten by high attrition rate, need a better understanding of the concept of JE. The present paper, based on the literature review, thus discusses the following aspects related to job embeddedness specifically: the concept of job embeddedness, dimensions and measurement of job embeddedness, the predictive validity of job embeddedness and promising expansions of the same across nations and organizations. At the end, we embed our suggestions as to how organizations can implement a sound retention management program incorporating job embeddedness.
