Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Adalet Bakanlığı’nda görev yapan infaz koruma ve memurlarının işe alımlarında kullanılacak bilgisayar destekli psikometrik yaklaşım ile bir değerlendirme sistemi kurulmasıdır. Kurulacak değerlendirme sisteminde iş tanımları doğrultusunda işin özelliklerine uygun aday nitelikleri ortaya koyularak bu nitelikleri ölçecek araçlar geliştirilip bilgisayarlı sisteme entegrasyonunun sağlanması hedeflenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda; infaz koruma ve memurluğunun özelliklerine uygun aday niteliklerini ölçecek test bataryası geliştirilerek, geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları yapılmış ve sisteme entegrasyonu sağlanmıştır. Test bataryası; 3 temel boyut 15 alt test 462 maddeden oluşan infaz koruma memuru adaylarının profil analizlerini ortaya koyacak biçimde ön uygulamaya hazırlanmıştır. 1016 kişi ile gerçekleştirilen ön uygulama ardından yapılan analizler sonrasında beklenilen alt ölçeklerde yer alıp almayan ya da başka faktörlerle binişik maddeler ölçekten çıkarıldıktan sonra ölçek 220 maddelik nihai halini almıştır. Bu uygulama verileri ile 220 maddelik ölçeğin, genel yapı ve uzmanlar tarafından adlandırılan boyutları ölçüp ölçmediğine ilişkin yapı geçerliği çalışması, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile yapılmış, temsil edilen modelin uyum indekslerinin uygun olduğu saptanmıştır. Test Bataryasının güvenilirliğine ilişkin Cronbach Alpha iç tutarlık katsayısı belirlenmiş, temel ve alt boyutlarda yer alan maddelerin birbiriyle tutarlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma ile amaçlandığı gibi, Adalet Bakanlığı’nda görev yapan infaz ve koruma memurlarının işe alımlarında kullanılacak bilgisayar destekli psikometrik yaklaşım ile bir değerlendirme sistemi kurulup; iş tanımları doğrultusunda işin özelliklerine uygun aday niteliklerinin sağlanıp sağlanmadığını belirlemede geçerli ve güvenilir ölçümler yapabilecek araçlar geliştirilip bilgisayarlı sisteme entegrasyonunun sağlanmıştır.

A PSYCHOMETRIC APPROACH TO PERSONEL SELECTION: LATENT PROFILE ANALYSIS OF PRISON OFFICER CANDIDATES

Year 2022, Volume: 24 Issue: 2, 675 - 692, 20.12.2022

Abstract

Choosing the right candidate for the job is a continuing concern within the public and private sectors. The personnel selection systems are one of the most important factors affecting the efficiency of organizations that has to be considered carefully, which aims to find the best candidate by matching qualifications and requirements of the job. Thus, psychometric assessments are used to employ the most skilled person among applicants. One of the most significant challenges of assessing candidates is the validity of the psychometric test used to assess candidate performances. Lack of evidence on scales and candidate population may mislead recruiters to hire unqualified individuals for the position. A considerable amount of literature has been published on using psychological scales for recruitment. However, much less is known about candidate’s latent profiles. This study highlights the importance of validation of scale in recruitment and seeks to reveal the latent profiles of candidates. The latent profile analysis identified two profiles for Vocational Adjustment, Social Skills, and Self-Control. The study results indicate that advanced and low Vocational Adjustment profiles show no extreme difference in both respects except for the Time management scores. However, higher profiles outperformed on Stress, Emotional Sensitivity, and Emotional Adaptation for the Social Skills domain. Like previous findings, self-consciousness scores are the highest of all subtests among low component profiles for the Self-Control domain
