MINJINă, Bogdan. Translation and adaptation into the Romanian language of the Personality-Related Position Requirements Form (PPRF). Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.1, pp.13-21. ISSN 2174-0534.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rpto.2016.10.001.

The present research aimed at the translation and adaptation from English into the Romanian language of the Personality-Related Position Requirements Form (PPRF), developed by Raymark, Schmit, and Guion. Within it, the job of operational non-commissioned officer (NCO) employed in the mobile structures of the Romanian Gendarmerie was analyzed. Four subsamples of participants were used: two subsamples of subject-matter experts in relation to the analyzed job, 87 job incumbents, and 32 supervisors, one subsample with 133 analyzed job incumbents and one subsample composed of supervisors of the participants from the previously mentioned subsample. The vast majority of reliability coefficients calculated for evaluating the inter-rater agreement had very good values both for the inventory's dimensions and subdimensions. Regarding the concurrent criterion-related validity, acceptable results were found by using the partial- and full-weighting approaches for criterion-related validation of job analysis tools.

Keywords : Personality-based job analysis; Personality-Related Position Requirements Form (PPRF); Full-weighting approach; Partial-weighting approach; Psychological test adaptation.
