Description

During a global career succession assessment of leadership talent pipeline, a candidate was asked to complete a personality/behavioral tendency profile. The candidate asked to speak to the program administrator about the validity of the assessment. The assessment is based on first responses to several sets of word values. The instructions were to respond with first instinct to the set of words listed in several different categories. The candidate stated that some of the words could have different interpretations based on values, beliefs, and cultural origin. Therefore, the validity of the assessment could be biased in terms of results/outcomes. The program administrator removed the weighting of the assessment (not part of the overall assessment scoring) to be used for informational and team building purposes only.

Use the above information to answer the following in 700 to 1,050 words:

  • Analyze whether the candidate has a valid discrimination concern about the assessment.
  • Determine what EEOC regulations could potentially be at risk of violation.
  • Evaluate how the assessment could be altered so that it could still be used for the program.

discrimination cases during the assessment program through differences in words interpretations
thus leading to lack of understanding between the employees due to lack of a common language
for clear understanding. Therefore, the validity of the discrimination is confirmed by the candidate.
In most cases, a candidate who experiences unfavorable treatment due to the present race with
inclusion to cultural beliefs and origin falls to be a victim of racial discrimination. Lack of word
interpretation due to the composition of the artistic language by the assessment coordinator not
only results to racial discrimination but also leads to the ineffectiveness of the assessment,
(Offermann et al., 2014).
EEOC and IRCA Regulations
