Denna uppsats görs en utvärdering av Agerus PrestationsIndex, ett verktyg för att mäta prestation i organisationer utifrån empowerment. PrestationsIndex är ett självskattningstest och bygger på en modell för empowerment med fem psykologiska rekvisit för självgående. Testet prövas psykometriskt för reliabilitet och validitet. Därutöver testas två hypoteser, dels om PrestationsIndex kan predicera prestation och dels om ojämnhet mellan de psykologiska rekvisiten kan påverka prestationen negativt. Resultaten visar starkt stöd för den första teorin när det gäller att predicera individuell prestation, men kan inte belägga PrestationsIndex som en prediktor för gruppresstation, när man har rensat för miljöfaktorer såsom trivsel och lust till arbetet. Den andra hypotesen får inget stöd i uppsatsen. Utöver de testade hypoteserna fann författaren intressanta relationer mellan stöd i arbetsgruppen, lojalitet med arbetsgivaren och den individuella prestationen.

In personnel selection, employment tests are intended to reduce selection errors and increase mean performance. The current thesis examines the impact of psychometric properties of the predictors on selection accuracy, or the consistency between selection on observed scores versus true scores. Implications for validity and subsequent levels of job performance, or prediction accuracy, are also examined in light of common top-down personnel selection procedures. Results reflect the importance of having reliable and valid predictor measures; the work also extends ideas in the area of utility analysis.
