Relationships-between-Employees-and-Employers

/in /by

What kind of relationship exists between employees’ scores on the manual dexterity tests and their performance rating?

•Suppose a candidate scored 44 on the manual dexterity test. The regression equation predicting job performance using the manual dexterity test is 32.465 + (1.234 x Manual Dexterity Test Score). What is the candidate’s predicted job performance?

•Assume that only candidates with predicted performance above 85 are to be hired. This translates to a score of at least 43 on the manual dexterity test. Assume only those with scores above 43 were hired (20 of the 30 people in this sample). Would the use of this test have led to evidence of adverse impact based on sex or race? The relevant data on the 20 people exceeding the cutoff are presented in the case study on page 226.

•Given the validity results you found, would you recommend use of this test as a selection device? If so, how would you use it?

take two to three pages (double-spaced, 12-point font) for your response (not including reference pages). Be sure to respond to all questions.

Cho-uses-comedy-to-discuss-serious-issues-Do-you-think-this-approach-is-effective-Why-or-why-not-

/in /by

Click the link and watch these clips on Margaret Cho and choose 2 questions to answer.

https://bb.csueastbay.edu/bbcswebdav/pid-3156779-d…

If the link does not work please let me know..

CHOOSE ONLY 2 QUESTIONS TO ANSWER

1) Cho uses comedy to discuss serious issues. Do you think this approach is effective? Why or why not?

2) Cho uses comedy to discuss culturally taboo subjects. How do you think her use of comedy allows her to approach these “unapproachable” subjects?

3) Cho talks about her own fight with acceptance by becoming someone she is not. How and why does our society create these unattainable and unrealistic ideals?

4) Cho discusses both race and gender in her comedy and the problems she has had being a Korean woman in America. How are these two issues related? How are they different?

5) Cho discusses her struggles with the demands put on her by the producers of her television show. How does this make you feel? Why have women been required to be a certain weight and body type while these same standards have not been set for men?

6) What stereotypes do we see on television (and other media) on a daily basis? What are these stereotypes telling us? How are these stereotypes creating false beliefs in our society? Relate your answer to your viewing of Cho’s work.
