Methodology

The methodological foundations in the field of human resources are crucial for ensuring reliable and meaningful HR processes. The correct choice of methodology and an understanding of its limitations can significantly impact the accuracy and effectiveness of HR management.

Here are some key methodological foundations that need to be considered:

 

  • Psychological/Psychometric Assessment: When using psychometric assessments, it's important to choose the right methodology and understand the limitations of assessment. Understanding general psychological principles and the influence of context on result interpretation is of paramount importance.
  • Selection Process: Selecting the right approach for candidate selection is essential for successful hiring. Consider the job requirements, candidate specifications, and market conditions. It's also crucial to establish criteria for candidate evaluation and select the appropriate methodology for measuring these criteria.
  • 360° Feedback Method: The use of 360° assessments is desirable in specific circumstances, but it's important to have a well-designed process. Creating an assessment matrix, questionnaires, and interpreting results correctly are crucial.
  • Internal Promotions: When making decisions about internal promotions, objective criteria specific to the job should be considered, and the appropriate methodology for candidate evaluation should be used. Communication about decisions and the consideration of internal candidates are also crucial.
  • Internal Organizational Metrics: To understand organizational climate and culture, the right questionnaires and surveys should be chosen, and questions should be designed to align with goals. Analyzing results and taking actions for improvement are key.
  • Periodic Employee Reviews: The process of periodic employee reviews should be well-designed, including correctly framed questions and evaluation criteria. It's important to understand how a manager's motivation affects an employee.
  • Employee Onboarding: The onboarding process should include planned steps and monitoring. The success of introducing new employees is assessed based on professional and interpersonal aspects.
