Understanding within-job title variance in job-analytic ratings

, , , and . Journal of Business and Psychology, (summer 1998)

Abstract

This study examined the correlates of within-job title variance in job-analytic ratings. Q-factor analyses of SMEs' ratings for two jobs (i.e., Sales Representative n = 26 and Felony Assistant Public Defender n = 141) yielded two and four factors, respectively. These factors represented shared views of the importance of the job tasks. Factor membership was related to sales performance for sales representatives. Previous professional experience and district of employment were related to factor membership for Felony Assistant Public Defenders. The implications of these studies of within-title variance in jobanalytic ratings for human resource programs are discussed.
