MGT6166   Selection and Psychological Testing in Organisations   (15 credits)

 
Year Running: 2016/2017
Credit level: F7

Description

This module looks at how the art and science of employee selection come together. We explore the theory of how recruitment and selection should happen, before considering how it does happen in the real world. You will have the opportunity to gain additional specialised qualifications in delivering psychometric assessments. The three-hour workshops involve lecture elements, analysis of case studies, group problem solving tasks as well as thought-provoking discussions. In this module we critically dissect existing selection practices in organisations, contemplating their validity, reliability, ethics, and legality. Our learning environment is immersive and participatory.
