Programme on Pshychometrics for HR & OD
(Two Days)
Context
Understanding
the psychological make up of human beings has been of great interest for a
long time. This understanding in the
context of organizational employees is important not because it is 'good to
know'; it is actually crucial for taking a variety of employee-related
decisions. In fact, there exists a
strong belief that it is better to have an employee who lesser skilled and
more positively oriented than one who is an expert with poor attitude.
How
does one understand the psychological characteristics of employees? Psychometrics - the field of study that is
concerned with the measurement of psychological variables - helps us to
understand psychological characteristics in a scientific manner.
Principles of psychometrics are also relevant to measurement
involved in Organisation Development interventions.
