Validity of Promotion Decisions

  • 1.  Validity of Promotion Decisions

    Posted 09-03-2008 20:35
    I am working on a computer simulation involving protected group status and
    organizational mobility. (I have published two such studies). For this
    project, I need an estimate of the validity of promotion procedures used to
    select managers for advancement. Or even simply the validity of promotion
    decisions apart from any particular method. Somehow I should know this but
    I can't put a finger on a particular study that provides such an estimate. I
    would be grateful for any guidance on this matter.
