The validation of a psychological assessment battery for the selection of customer service agents in a South African commercial airline company

The purpose of the research was to determine whether measures of ability,
personality and behaviour would significantly predict job performance of customer
service agents in a South African commercial airline company. The Verbal
Interpretation Test (VCC1), Numerical Reasoning Test (NP6.1), Basic Checking Test
(CP7.1C), Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ32) and a competency
based interview were completed by job applicants. Customer Contact Competency
(CCC) scores and a Person Job Match (PJM) score were derived from the OPQ32
and ability measures to ensure job relevance during selection assessment. Job
performance statistics in the form of training scores and supervisor ratings (from
performance appraisals and criterion questionnaires) were obtained for the sample
as criterion data. Correlations revealed statistically significant small to moderate
correlations between the predictors and the criterion data / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.Com. (Industrial & Organisational Psychology)
