GOLUBOVICH, Juliya; LAKE, Christopher J; ANGUIANO-CARRASCO, Cristina  and  SEYBERT, Jacob. Measuring achievement striving via a situational judgment test: the value of additional context. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.2, pp.157-168.  Epub Sep 28, 2020. ISSN 2174-0534.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/jwop2020a15.

The study extends personality and situational judgment test (SJT) research by using an SJTto measure achievement striving in a contextualized manner. Employed students responded to the achievement striving SJT, traditional personality scales, and workplace performance measures. The SJTwas internally consistent, items loaded on a single factor, and scores converged with other measures of achievement striving. The SJTprovided incremental criterion-related validity for the performance criteria beyond less-contextualized achievement striving measures. Findings suggest that achievement-related work scenarios may provide additional criterion-relevant information not captured by measures that are less contextualized.

Keywords : Situational judgment tests; Achievement striving; Personality traits; Interactionism; Contextualization; Bandwidth - fidelity.
