Dear participant,
Welcome to Personnel Assessment!
This course focuses on advanced personnel assessment issues, from both theoretical and applied perspectives. The course covers biases in psychological testing and behavioral assessment. Many contemporary issues in recruitment, selection, and appraisal that offer special challenges to the personnel practitioner are also included. The focus is on theories such as social identity, social categorization, and implicit prejudice.
This is an advanced level course and it is expected that participating students have basic knowledge about recruitment, performance appraisal, diversity, social perception, and decision-making. These aspects are, for instance, covered during basic courses in Human Resource Management and Organizational Behaviour.
This course is the third in the People Management-track in Management and Organization, which consists of the following courses: 1) Leadership, 2) Workforce analytics, 3) Personnel Assessment.
A preliminary course description is available on this page. Please note that changes can still occur. The plan is to keep the course as a traditional class-based course, unless the covid-situation gets worse again. Participation in the lectures is not mandatory, although warmly recommended. The course key needed for Moodle registration will be given out during the first lecture and sent out by email afterwards.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Best regards,
Denise
