Fifteen candidates applied for the position of Executive Manager in a private company. The candidates were called individually for a conversation in the first round of recruitment. In the second round, they were given a list of statements on personality factors that they had to rate a scale value for. The final round consisted of a group task in which the candidates were divided into three groups. Each group had to overcome a problem situation given to them. |
- Describe the types of behavioural analysis that were conducted on the candidates in the first and second rounds. (4)
- In your opinion, which type of behavioural analysis would help the directors select the suitable candidate? Justify your answer by giving two reasons. (3)
उत्तर
- First round: An interview is a commonly used method for assessing personality. This involves talking to the person being assessed and asking specific questions.
- Second round: Behavioural rating scales are frequently used for assessments of personality in educational and industrial settings. A behavioural rating scale is an assessment instrument completed by a clinician or a third party (e.g., a significant other, teacher, parent, or peer) that includes items that assess one or more targeted client behaviours.
- Assessment of Real-Life Situations: Behavioural interviews allow directors to understand how candidates have handled past situations similar to those they might encounter in the role of Executive Manager. This method helps in evaluating the candidate’s problem-solving abilities, leadership skills, and how they perform under pressure, providing insights into their practical experience and competence.
- Consistency and Predictive Validity: By asking all candidates similar behavioural questions and evaluating their responses against the same criteria, directors can ensure a more consistent and objective selection process. This approach has higher predictive validity for future job performance compared to other types of interviews, making it easier to identify the candidate who best fits the role based on their demonstrated past behaviour.
These reasons support the use of behavioural analysis in selecting the most suitable candidate for the executive position.

It seemed as if my hard work had paid off and my dreams were realised. However, within two weeks thereafter, I was unable to complete my work in a timely fashion.
