M.A. (Psychology)
The interview appears to be a very popular but nevertheless
unreliable and invalid selection instrument. A need therefore
exists to improve the selection interview and to place it on a
more scientific basis.
The purpose of this study can be summarized as the development
of:
an interview decision-making model
an interview reference framework
a selection interview interpretation guide
Before these topics were discussed, the nature, definition,
value, problematics and improvement of the selection interview
were examined. Attention was given to the nature, purpose,
function, formulation and classifica~ion of interview questions
as well as to the interview as a measuring instrument and
requirements such as objectivity, appropriateness, adaptability,
standardization, reliability and validity.
Various decision-making models were examined and discussed,
and the decision-making attributes of the decision-maker (the
interviewer) were studied. The requirements of the decision making
process were discussed and a decision-making model was
subsequently developed...
