Abstract: | Ones and Viswesvaran (1996) have argued for the use of broad bandwidth, rather than narrow bandwidth, personality predictors in personnel selection research when overall job performance is the criterion of interest. The authors take the opposite position in this article - that homogeneous measures of unidimensional personality traits are always to be preferred as predictors of work (and other) criteria. The authors maintain that the use of multiple unidimensional predictors provides important advantages over the use of multidimensional aggregates of those predictors. |
