Gleason & Co. is a mid-sized construction company located in London, Ontario. Four weeks ago, the company was awarded a $2,000,000 federal government contract to renovate a secondary school. Gleason & Co. currently employs 195 employees already working to maximum capacity, so Management has decided to create a department that will be solely responsible for the federal government contract. This will mean a company expansion with 30 new employees joining the organization. You have been given the task of leading the hiring team for the new division.   

There have been many changes in the field of HR since the company last expanded, and Management has expressed concerns that some of the people assigned to your team are not as knowledgeable about Recruitment and Selection as they should be. Management has requested that you begin by educating your team members in the most up-to-date Recruitment and Selection methods.

1. You have decided to use a Situational Interview (SI) format in interviewing the job applicants.

a) Explain the nature and importance of a SI to your team.

b) One of the company’s core competencies is “Teamwork”. Develop a SI question (including a dilemma) that could be used in an interview to test for this competency.

c) Develop a scoring guide that could be used to score the above SI question.

2. Traditionally, Gleason & Co. used an unstructured interview approach, combined with pure judgmental decision making. You want your team to use structured interviews. Develop a short (max. one page) communication addressed to the managers and explain to them the differences, advantages, and disadvantages of their past approach and the structured approach. Focus on a few (3-4) most important components of structured interviews and explain in detail how they contribute to the employment interview structure.

Question Two: (Word count 200 words)

“A system”

Name and explain any system that you deal with in real life, in your explanation use all what you have learned about the characteristics of a system, where all parts must be clear and applied.

Consider the following two models relates education to wage:

log(wage) = β0 + β1educ + u

log(wage) = β0 + β1educ + β2sibs + e

where wage denotes monthly wage; educ is the education level measured by

year; and sibs is the number of siblings. Let βe1 denotes the estimator of β1

from the simple regression, and βb1 denotes the estimator from the multiple

regression.

(a) Suppose educ and sibs are positively correlated in the sample, and sibs

has negative effects on log(wage), would you expect βe1 and βb1 to be very

different? If yes, which one will be larger? Explain your answer in detail.

(b) Suppose educ and sibs are positively correlated in the sample, and sibs has

no effects on log(wage), would you expect βe1 and βb1 to be very different?

If yes, which one will be larger? Explain your answer in detail.

(c) In the same circumstance in part (b), would you expect se(βe1) and se(βb1)

to be very different? If yes, which one will be larger? Explain your answer

in detail.

Requires no charts or data to answer, just explanations, thank you!

Part 1: Researching Federal Initiatives

There are numerous federal initiatives in place to address current public health issues in environmental health, emergency preparedness and response, and injury prevention.

Based on experience, you believe that less than 15% of the population of your city dislike the taste of cilantro. Two-hundred people were randomly selected from your city and questioned about their like or dislike of the taste of cilantro. Thirty-two of those questioned stated they disliked the taste of cilantro.

Complete the tasks and answer the questions.

• Use the 2SD method to estimate the true proportion of the population of your city that dislikes the taste of cilantro. State the resulting confidence interval in both forms – the interval notation and the sample proportion ± the margin of error notation.
• Write the interpretation of this confidence interval.
• Use the theory-based method to estimate the true proportion of the population of your city that dislikes the taste of cilantro with a 95% confidence interval. State the resulting confidence interval in both forms – the interval notation and the sample proportion ± the margin of error notation.
• Write the interpretation of this confidence interval.
• Use the theory-based method to estimate the true proportion of the population of your city that dislikes the taste of cilantro with an 88% confidence interval. State the resulting confidence interval in both forms – the interval notation and the sample proportion ± the margin of error notation.
• Write the interpretation of this confidence interval.
