ABSTRACT

Personnel selection research has seen an increasing interest in integrity tests. Although these tests have been found to predict a variety of workplace criteria, a long-standing criticism of integrity tests is their criterion-focussed nature. A construct-oriented approach to integrity test development involves identifying important elements of integrity and developing content to reflect those elements. Drawing upon earlier attempts to define integrity, this paper conceptualizes integrity as a behavior, and elaborates on two definitional elements, nature of standards and their referent. Undertaking a content analysis of the high-level codes of conduct of 13 military nations, this paper illustrates the application of an approach to defining integrity for use in the military context. It includes a discussion on the operationalization of integrity for assessment purposes, highlighting considerations that must be given to all aspects of the assessment development process.

摘要

人员选拔研究对诚信测试越来越感兴趣。尽管已经发现这些测试可以预测各种工作场所标准，但长期以来对完整性测试的批评是它们以标准为中心的性质。面向构造的完整性测试开发方法涉及识别完整性的重要元素并开发内容以反映这些元素。借鉴早期定义完整性的尝试，本文将完整性概念化为一种行为，并详细阐述了两个定义要素，即标准的性质及其所指对象。本文对 13 个军事国家的高级行为准则进行了内容分析，阐述了在军事环境中定义完整性的方法的应用。
