Abstract

A work sample is a replica of the work on which applicants demonstrate their ability to successfully perform the work sample and therefore the job it represents. The greatest advantage of a work sample is the similarity with the job of which it is a replica, which prevents unfair discrimination among applicants. The greatest disadvantage of work samples is that for many jobs it will be impossible to standardise this type of test. A literature study has indicated that work samples are reliable and valid selection tests, especially for jobs which require psycho-motor abilities.

Opsomming
'n Werkmonster is 'n replika van die werk waarmee applikante demonstreer dat hulle oor die nodige vaardighede beskik om die werkmonster en gevolglik die beroep wat dit verteenwoordig, suksesvol kan verrig. Die grootste voordeel van werkmonsters is die ooreenkoms daarvan met die werk waarvan dit 'n replika is en dus onregverdige diskriminasie tussen applikante verhoed. Die grootste nadeel van werkmonsters is dat vir baie beroepe dit onmoontlik sal wees om sulke toetse te standaardiseer. 'n Literatuurstudie het aangetoon dat werkmonsters betroubare en geldige keuringtoetse is, veral vir beroepe wat psigomotoriese vaardighede vereis.
