TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Reductions in turnover, accidents, and absenteeism: the contribution of a pre-employment screening inventory JO - Journal of clinical psychology (Hoboken) A1 - Borofsky, G. L. A1 - Smith, Marjorie SP - 109 EP - 116 VL - 49 IS - 1 N2 - 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.
