'n Keuringsbattery vir swart en kleurling naaimasjienoperatrises

Abstract

The place of selection tests comprising work samples is discussed briefly. Situations in industry where this selection approach is applicable and those in which general psychological tests are sufficient are not always distinguished properly. An example of a situation in which work simulation is warranted for selection purposes, is the case of the sewing machine operator. A battery including machine tests constructed for this selection task is described. Results of validation studies conducted with Black and Coloured applicants are given.

Opsomming
Die moontlikhede en plek van keuringstoetse wat uit werksmonsters bestaan word kortliks bespreek. Bedryfsituasies waar hierdie tipe tegniek oorweeg behoort te word en gevalle waarin algemene sielkundige toetsing voldoende is, word nie altyd onderskei nie. 'n voorbeeld van waar die werksimulasie geregverdig is, is die keuring van die naaimasjienoperateur of -operatrise. 'n Battery van masjientoetse wat vir hierdie doel opgestel, is, word beskryf en resultate behaal in geldigheidsondersoeke by swartmense en kleurlinge word gerapporteer.
