Abstract

This study examined the rates of turnover, work-related accidents, and unauthorized absence among two contrasted groups of employees in a mid-sized manufacturing environment. For the calendar year 1989, comparative rates on each variable were obtained for a group hired prior to the inclusion of a pre-employment inventory in the Company's selection process and a group hired subsequently. Results indicate that rates of turnover, accidents, and unauthorized absence were all significantly lower in the group hired subsequent to inclusion of the pre-employment screening inventory. Some possible design artifacts and cost-benefit implications are discussed.
