| Abstract: | This study investigates the applicability of the Schmidt-Hunter global estimation method of assessing utility across a broad range of jobs. Industrial/organizational psychologists estimated the utility of performance in carefully selected jobs. The utility estimates were compared to the Data, People and Things worker function parameters from the Dictionary of Occupation Titles. The majority of jobs produced significantly positively skewed distributions of dollar-valued job performance. The Data, People and Things parameters accounted for 46% of the variance in the non-symmetry of the utility distributions and 33% of the variance in the inter-rater reliability of the utility estimates. |
