CASE STUDY: MEASUREMENT AND VALIDATION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

CASE STUDY: MEASUREMENT AND VALIDATION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

OVERVIEW

Case studies have a practical application in business, as many operational leaders need to practice situations that they may face. One of the most important concepts for screening in business is what is being measured, is it what was intended, and is the company realizing the impact of that intention. By reviewing the data, we can see if the screening measures are valid.

INSTRUCTIONS

You will complete the “Measurement and Validation” case in the Tanglewood Casebook (#4 on pages 29 – 34, 2018). You will write a 3 – 5-page essay (total does not include title page or reference page) that answers questions 2 – 4 on page 34. Do not simply answer the questions. This is an essay and must be written to include an introduction, body, and conclusion. It may prove helpful to use the topic of the questions (content validity, predictors, generalization) as section headers in your essay. Your response must be supported by at least 2 peer-reviewed resources. These resources must have been published within the last 5 years. Do not use other textbooks. The essay must be written in current APA format and include a title page, reference page, and in-text citations.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

The higher a score the higher the probability that there are too high a percentage of quotations included in the narrative, and/or there are passages that have not been properly cited.
