BACKGROUND The selection methodology for UK general practice is designed to accommodate several thousand applicants per year and targets six core attributes identified in a multi-method job-analysis study AIM To evaluate the predictive validity of selection methods for entry into postgraduate training, comprising a clinical problem-solving test, a situational judgement test, and a selection c...

This paper analyses a bilateral trade problem with asymmetric information and ambiguity aversion. There is a buyer and a seller who bargain over the exchange of an indivisible good. The seller is privately informed about the quality of the good, which determines both his valuation and the buyer’s valuation. In the absence of ambiguity, the contract that maximizes the buyer’s payoff is a posted ...

The effect of job satisfaction on organisational commitment has attracted a great deal of interest in the human resource management and organizational psychology literatures. However, much of the empirical work is based on relatively small sample sizes and neglects the possibility of endogeneity of job satisfaction, potentially leading to biased estimates of the effect of job satisfaction on or...

Selection into GP speciality training is based on results of a multi-method job analysis study. Six key competency domains were identified as priorities to assess through the current national selection process, including empathy, communication, integrity, clinical expertise, problemsolving, and resilience. Each applicant is assessed using clinical problem-solving and situational judgement machi...

This paper summarizes the practical and theoretical implications of 100 years of research in personnel selection. On the basis of meta-analytic findings, this paper presents the validity of 31 procedures for predicting job performance and the validity of paired combinations of general mental ability (GMA) and the 29 other selection procedures. Similar analyses are presented for 16 predictors of...

Job scheduling is a fundamental issue in achieving a high performance on the Grids. In grid computing several applications require numerous resources for execution which are not often available for them, thus presence of a scheduling system to allocate resources to input jobs is vital. This paper introduces a model and a job scheduling algorithm in grid computing environments. Computational gri...
