Criterion models and construct validity for criteria.

Reviews methods for measuring criteria and ascertaining underlying criterion constructs. 3 criterion measurement models (the ultimate criterion model, the multiple criterion model, and a "general" criterion model) for the determinants of managerial effectiveness were examined and attempts made toward integration. The 3 models were than compared to a formal construct validation model. Strengths and weaknesses in both the constructs provided by each of the criterion models and the construct validation procedures are discussed. It is recommended that future criterion research utilize an integrated multiple and general criterion model, and construct validation procedures more extensive than the multitrait-multimethod matrix.
