The intent of this study was threefold: (a) empirically assess the hypothesized linear relation between incumbent job performance and annual worth in dollars, (b) apply a multivariate strategy to gain greater understanding of the dimen- sions related to estimates of worth, and (c) clarify the effects of the rating dimensions and supervisory variables on predicting the 15th, 50th, and 85th percentile estimates and SD, (Schmidt. Hunter. McKenzie, & Muldrow, 1979). Data were gathered using two questionnaires completed by 93 and 83 social work supervisors, respectively. The results produced three key findings. First, the assumption of linearity between incumbent performance and annual worth was empirically substantiated (corrected r = .67). Second, a factor analysis suggested that four factors were used by supervisors in making estimates of their subordinates' worth. And third, supervisory tenure, gender, and span of control, as well as the four factor scores, were relatively ineffective in predict- ing the 15th, 50th, 85th percentile or SD,; conversely, the variables of supervi- sory self-worth and average worth given by a supervisor were significant predictors of SD, components. Interpretation and suggestions for future re- search are discussed. |
