Personnel Assessment and Decisions

Personnel Assessment and Decisions is the official journal of the International Personnel Assessment Council (IPAC). The journal welcomes any studies or reviews related to staffing organizations and assessing its members. This might include (but is not limited to) research on: - applicant recruitment and assessment - selection tools (e.g., interviews, tests, work samples) - selection decisions - on-boarding and training - job search and choice - performance assessment and employee development - job analysis and competency modeling Considerable emphasis will be placed on applied research that is novel, accessible, important, and newsworthy (think Psychological Science for personnel psychology). Articles should have practical relevance and be of broad interest. PAD's open-access format means all content is freely available without charge to the user or his/her institution. Practitioners and international scholars are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. PAD's open access format also eliminates the prohibitive costs associated with traditional journals.
