Abstract
GILAR, Raquel; HARO, Jose Manuel de and CASTEJON, Juan Luis. Individual differences in predicting occupational success: the effect of population heterogeneity. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2015, vol.31, n.2, pp.101-107. ISSN 2174-0534. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rpto.2015.03.002.
Using a sample of 339 university graduates from the University of Alicante (Spain) three years after completion of their studies, we studied the relationships between general intelligence (GI), personality traits, emotional intelligence (EI), academic performance, and occupational attainment and compared the results of conventional regression analysis with the results obtained from applying regression mixture models. The results reveal the influence of unobserved population heterogeneity (latent class) on the relationship between predictors and criteria and the improvement in the prediction obtained from applying regression mixture models compared to applying a conventional regression model.
