| Abstract: | THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF PROJECTIVE TECHNIQUES TO ASSESSMENT-CENTER STAFF EVALUATIONS AND THE RELATIONSHIPS OF PROJECTIVE VARIABLES TO PROGRESS IN MANAGEMENT ARE PRESENTED. THE PROJECTIVE DATA WERE OBTAINED BY CODING REPORTS WRITTEN BY A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST FROM 3 PROJECTIVE INSTRUMENTS. ANALYSES OF THE DATA SHOW THAT THE PROJECTIVE REPORTS PARTICULARLY INFLUENCED THE ASSESSMENT STAFF IN RATING SUCH CHARACTERISTICS AS WORK MOTIVATION, PASSIVITY, AND DEPENDENCY. IN ADDITION, SEVERAL OF THE PROJECTIVE VARIABLES ARE RELIABLY RELATED TO PROGRESS IN MANAGEMENT, ESPECIALLY THOSE PERTAINING TO LEADERSHIP AND ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION. THE FINDINGS CLEARLY INDICATE THAT RELEVANT INFORMATION ON MANAGERIAL MOTIVATION WAS OBTAINED FROM THE PROJECTIVE REPORTS. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
