Abstract:

This study examined the construct and criterion-related validity of a psychomotor work sample in

predicting safety incidents in addition to job performance for entry-level manufacturing jobs. Results

shed light to the underlying constructs measured in the work sample and demonstrated usefulness of a

pre-employment work sample in improving workplace safety.
