Concurrent validityConcurrent validity is a type of evidence that can be gathered to defend the use of a test for predicting other outcomes. It is a parameter used in sociology, psychology, and other psychometric or behavioral sciences. Concurrent validity is demonstrated when a test correlates well with a measure that has previously been validated. The two measures may be for the same construct, but more often used for different, but presumably related, constructs. The two measures in the study are taken at the same time.
Organizational citizenship behaviorIn industrial and organizational psychology, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is a person's voluntary commitment within an organization or company that is not part of his or her contractual tasks. Organizational citizenship behavior has been studied since the late 1970s. Over the past three decades, interest in these behaviors has increased substantially. Organizational behavior has been linked to overall organizational effectiveness, thus these types of employee behaviors have important consequences in the workplace.
Attitude (psychologie)L'attitude est l'« état d'esprit » d'un sujet ou d'un groupe vis-à-vis d'un objet, d'une action, d'un autre individu ou groupe. Elle ressort au savoir-être de quelqu'un. C'est une prédisposition mentale à agir de telle ou telle façon. Elle désigne surtout une intention et n'est donc pas directement observable. L'attitude est un concept indispensable dans l’explication du comportement social et une notion nécessaire dans l'explication des réactions devant une tâche. Il existe autant de définitions de la notion d'attitude que d'auteurs.
Validity (statistics)Validity is the main extent to which a concept, conclusion or measurement is well-founded and likely corresponds accurately to the real world. The word "valid" is derived from the Latin validus, meaning strong. The validity of a measurement tool (for example, a test in education) is the degree to which the tool measures what it claims to measure. Validity is based on the strength of a collection of different types of evidence (e.g. face validity, construct validity, etc.) described in greater detail below.
Construct validityConstruct validity concerns how well a set of indicators represent or reflect a concept that is not directly measurable. Construct validation is the accumulation of evidence to support the interpretation of what a measure reflects. Modern validity theory defines construct validity as the overarching concern of validity research, subsuming all other types of validity evidence such as content validity and criterion validity.
Responsabilité sociétale des entreprisesLa responsabilité sociétale des entreprises ou responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE, en anglais CSR pour en) désigne la prise en compte par les entreprises, sur une base volontaire, et parfois juridique, des enjeux environnementaux, sociaux, économiques et éthiques dans leurs activités. Les activités des entreprises sont ici entendues au sens large : activités économiques, interactions internes (salariés, dirigeants, actionnaires) et externes (fournisseurs, clients, autres).
Criterion validityIn psychometrics, criterion validity, or criterion-related validity, is the extent to which an operationalization of a construct, such as a test, relates to, or predicts, a theoretical representation of the construct—the criterion. Criterion validity is often divided into concurrent and predictive validity based on the timing of measurement for the "predictor" and outcome. Concurrent validity refers to a comparison between the measure in question and an outcome assessed at the same time.
Content validityIn psychometrics, content validity (also known as logical validity) refers to the extent to which a measure represents all facets of a given construct. For example, a depression scale may lack content validity if it only assesses the affective dimension of depression but fails to take into account the behavioral dimension. An element of subjectivity exists in relation to determining content validity, which requires a degree of agreement about what a particular personality trait such as extraversion represents.
Work designWork design (also referred to as job design or task design) is an area of research and practice within industrial and organizational psychology, and is concerned with the "content and organization of one's work tasks, activities, relationships, and responsibilities" (p. 662). Research has demonstrated that work design has important implications for individual employees (e.g., employee engagement, job strain, risk of occupational injury), teams (e.g., how effectively groups co-ordinate their activities), organisations (e.
TravailAu sens économique usuel, le travail est l'activité rémunérée qui permet la production de biens et services. Avec le capital, c'est un facteur de production de l'économie. Il est essentiellement fourni par des employés en échange d'un salaire et contribue à l'activité économique. Le processus d'entrée et de sortie de l'emploi se fait par le marché du travail. Le travail non rémunéré joue un rôle non négligeable dans la production nationale.
