 ASSESSMENT CENTRE METHOD |
| Refers to a procedure for evaluating performance where knowledge, skills and attitudes are the most important outcome of a training programme. Using this method participants are evaluated on each dimension of the job (KSAs) and individual ratings are combined to reduce subjectivity and determine a final rating for each participant. The most important feature of the assessment centre method is that it relates to future and not current job performance. By observing how a participant handles the problems and challenges of the target job or job level (as simulated in the exercises), assessors get a valid picture of how that person would perform in the target position.[1][2] |
