Question

An HR manager wants to know if a particular job interview technique "works." He/she is wary of drawing firm conclusions from a single study, and therefore wishes to know how the interview technique fares when combining the results from multiple different studies. Of the following forms of evidence, in which should the HR manager be most interested? Select one: a, a quantitative study from a sample of 100 employees from a single organization showing the correlation between scores on the interview and job performance b. case study c. qualitative data from another manager who has tried the interview technique before d. meta-analysis e. None of the above

Explanation / Answer

The HR manager would be interested in a quantitative study from a large enough sample (100 employees). The quantitative analysis can clearly describe the strength of correlation between interview score and performance of an employee chosen on the basis of interview technique.
