Overview: Schmitt and Landy (1993), from Week 5 readings, pointed out that the utility (value of a selection system to the organization) has been a concern since Munsterberg's early selection validation research. More recently, researchers have evaluated and argued about the factors that will influence the utility of selection systems, including comparisons with other predictors, applicant and managerial reactions, adverse impact, and the use of multiple predictors, among other things. In this module, the readings will better acquaint you with these issues. Important terms from the readings: utility analysis, hiring success & economic gain, selection ratio, base rate, compensatory models, multiple hurdles model, cut scores, innovative, quality enhancement, and cost reduction strategies, standard deviation in dollars of performance, dollar metrics, managerial decision making QUESTION: Please answer two of the following questions. You must answer Question 1. Then choose any one of the other questions. The first question is worth 10 points, the second question you choose is worth 5 points. What is the goal of utility analysis? Why do recent models of utility fail to accomplish this goal?  (REQUIRED) What do Whyte & Latham mean by “the futility of utility”? What is banding? Discuss the pros and cons of banding, including the legal implications. What are the positive consequences associated with a high predictor cutoff score? What are the negative consequences? Under what circumstances should a compensatory model be used? When should a multiple hurdles model be used?

Data analytics is expected to radically change the way we live and do business in the future. Already today we use the analytics in our technology devices, for many decisions in our lives. ... Expectations are that data analytics will make the impossible possible, but we are still in the early stages of the data era.For this discussion board, find an article about the future of technology.Please provide a media link (article, video, blog, etc.) and lead the discussion on that topic.For the discussion, tell us at least the following four things:What is the discussion about?What caught your attention about this?Why is it important to us?What are the ethical ramifications of this new technology?You will be the facilitator and draw people in. Make it lively and vibrant, but keep it professional.

Assignment 4: Application of Theory to Practice: Presentation of Community Health Promotion Plan ProposalHide Assignment InformationInstructionsIn this assignment, you will be presenting your community health promotion/risk reduction plan in-person to the agency contact that you interviewed earlier in the semester.The presentation should include your findings from your agency visit, as well as your proposed community health promotion plan. You should prepare this in a concisely worded PowerPoint to be delivered in person or virtually (i.e. Zoom or Skype). If you are unable to meet with the agency, please contact your instructor for alternate arrangements.The agency representative will be evaluating your presentation. The tool that the agency will use to conduct your evaluation can be found here, or in the Course Resources section of the class.Presentations should be no longer than 10 minutes.

Instructions on how to create a voice-over PowerPoint for Windows can be found here, and for MAC users can be found here. These instructions can also be found in the course resources area.Your presentation should include the following:Identification of the community including demographics and geographic informationDescribe the economic conditions, health resources, and environmental conditionsDescription of the agency including purpose and fundingIdentification of the community health need.Recommended intervention – that is evidence-basedPlan for implementation to meet the identified needResources needed to implement the planExpected outcomesOrganization/PresentationSpelling grammar and referencesA reference list of research used to develop the planYour presentation can be given as a PowerPoint with explanations in the notes section or you can use voice-over software.
