Abstract

An exploratory study designed to develop and validate a selection battery for R&D professional employees was conducted with 256 participants from three applied R&D organizations. The results suggest that the battery of seven personality variables and education was validated over a one-year time period in the three organizations for the five job-related performance criteria that were studied. The potential utility of the battery for R&D managers as a selection device, as well as limitations of the study are discussed.
