In I/O psychology, what are some implications of having little overlap (relevance) between an ultimate criterion and an autual criterion?
Criterion is the standard or benchmark for evaluation of performances of the employees.
Ultimate criterion is the perfect or ideal benchmark set for the performances of employees. It includes all sets of measurement and is a hypothetical condition.
Actual criterion is the reality of benchmark achieved. It is the reality representation of the ultimate criterion.
When there's little overlap (relevance) between an ultimate criterion and actual criterion, that is degree to actual criterion is related to ultimate criterion or the level of correlation is lesser, the following could be some implications.
