Correct answer: C. Psychologists are beginning to come to the fore in terms of developing and using personal selection methods

  • A. job selection is based on the premise that there are differences between people which can be identified
  • B. job selection is based on the premise that there are differences between people that have an impact on how effective people are in a particular job
  • C. Psychologists are beginning to come to the fore in terms of developing and using personal selection methods
  • D. Failure to achieve a fit between the person and the organization can lead to a feeling of low esteem on the part of the employee

Explanation

Psychologists have long contributed to personnel selection through testing, interviews, and validation research, so saying they are only beginning to do so is false. Selection assumes individual differences affect job performance, and poor person-organization fit can damage an employee’s self-esteem.
