1. What are the primary objectives, focus, and purpose of Selection Tests and Interview in the whole
process of hiring in organisational set up? Critically examine their usefulness and importance in the short
term and long term functioning and culture of the organisation. Draw from the experiences you are
familiar with. Describe the organisation and the situation you are referring to.
Selection Tests
The use of tests and other selection procedures can be a very effective means of determining which applicants or employees are
most qualified for a particular job. However, use of these tools can violate the federal anti-discrimination laws if an employer
intentionally uses them to discriminate based on race, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------This may be done at any of the successive hurdles which an applicant must cross. These hurdles act as screens
designed to eliminate an unqualified applicant at any point in the process. This technique is known as the successive hurdles
technique
The basic assumption underlying the use of tests in personnel selection is that individuals are different in their job-related abilities
and skills and that these skills can be adequately and accurately measured.
An interview is a conversation with a purpose between one person on one side and another person or persons on the other. An
employment interview should serve three purposes, viz.,
It should provide an appraisal of personality by obtaining relevant information about the prospective employees background,
training work history, education and interests. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. It should also help in establishing a
friendly relationship between the employer and the applicant and motivate the satisfactory applicant to want to work for the
company or organization.
Interviews are of many types. They are, formal interview, informal interview, planned interview, patterned interview, Non-
directive Interview, Depth Interview, Stress Interview, Group Interview, Panel Interview, etc.
There are different types of selection tests and interviews. The type of test and the type of interview will be selected based on the
job for which recruitment and selection process is done.

2. What are the major problems/errors which came in the way of Effective Performance Appraisal
Systems of any organization? Describe and explain with the help of your organizational experiences or
the ones you are familiar with. Briefly explain the organization, situation and its fall out too support your
reply.
Performance Appraisal
Performance Appraisal is defined as structured formal interaction between a subordinate and supervisor, where the work
performance of the subordinate is to be ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------to identify the poorer performers who may
require some form of counseling, or in extreme cases, demotion, dismissal or decrease in pay.
a) The rater may feel that ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- on his or her own worthiness.
b) He/ She may feel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the rater and the ratee.
7) Spillover effect: - This refers lo allowing past performance appraisal rating lo unjustifiably influence current ratings. Past
ratings, good or bad, result in similar rating for current period although the demonstrated behavior does not deserve the rating,
good or bad.
Other Examples-
There is great degree of unhappiness all around ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------has to be evolved by combining
certain key elements such as performance analysis, self-appraisal, performance ratings, and counseling.
3. Critically evaluate the state of workers participation in Management in the present day business
scenario. Explain with examples your answer giving due details of the organizations and the sources you
are referring to.
Workers participation in management is an essential ingredient of Industrial democracy. The concept of workers participation in
management is based on Human Relations approach to ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- has been encouraging
member nations to promote the scheme of Workers Participation in Management.
Workers participation in management implies mental and emotional involvement of workers in the management of Enterprise. It
is considered as a mechanism where workers have a say in the decision-
1. democratic ------------------------------------------------making;
2. maximum ---------------------------------------------------;
3. ----------------------------------------------------- intervention;

5. greater --------------------------------------------------------; and
6. higher --------------------------------------------------- effectiveness.
Forms of Participation
Different forms of participation are discussed below:
Collective Bargaining: Collective bargaining results in collective agreements which lay down certain rules and conditions of
service in an establishment. Such agreements are ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------rather than ask for a share in
management. Workers participation in the U.S.A has been ensured almost exclusively by means of collective agreements and
their application and interpretation rather than by way of labour representation in management.
Joint --------------------------------- and Committees: Mainly these bodies are consultative and advisory, with decision-making
being left to the top management. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------- managements nor the workers take them seriously.
--------------------- Representation: The role of a worker representative in the board of directors is essentially one of negotiating
the workers interest with the other ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------ upon his ability to participate in decision-making, his knowledge of the company affairs, his
educational background, his level of understanding and also on the number of worker representatives in the Board.

4. What are the Principles of Learning which are followed in developing Effective Training
Programmes? Critically evaluate the Training Environment you are exposed to vis--vis the
Principles of learning followed/not followed or the ones you are aware of. Briefly describe the situation
and the organization to logically support your replies.
7. ------------------ Reinforcement is another critical principles of learning. It involves the process of providing financial
rewards or non-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------- trainees to become more interested and involved in the training.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- employees achieve them.
-------------------------------
Participants should receive ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------- also receive background reading or work needed to prepare for the event accompanied by instructions.
Content ------------------------------------------
A training program should be built -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- should be considered in designing content.
If the training program is not local in origin---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Also, be aware of cultural factors, family and social
practices should influence the content and may impact attitudes and discussion.
Each session of a training program and all ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------and measuring what you want to achieve from your
event.
Based on adult learning principles, a training program should include diverse ways of presenting the material and involving
the participants. The materials should be ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------role plays. The facilitators should be experienced in
encouraging group participation and comfortable in modifying activities as needed throughout the session.
In order to build a multidisciplinary approach, when participants from different sectors are present, it is important to engage
participants across sectors during the course of the program. Your sessions should be designed with the intention of forming
lasting relationships and building a team approach in daily work. When participants work together in the session to solve
problems, it will improve their ability to work together outside of the session to solve problems.
Participants will come to the event with their -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------will help them see how what they are learning can
be carried back into their work. Case studies and specific examples can increase involvement and learning.
Facilitators should use a variety of -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- understand the material you are presenting.
Facilitators
All leaders and facilitators of a program should meet as a group prior to the event to review and adapt the program materials,
to agree on session structure and to the roles and responsibilities of each facilitator.
When preparing for a -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------to develop cross-sector relationships, which serve as a model for the group.
It is helpful to anticipate and talk about tough questions that may come up in the sessions. Discussion among the facilitators
prior to the event can help to identify difficult issues.
The project leader will ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------the materials to ensure that the content and activities support the learning
goals set by the team.
Part of a facilitators role is to ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------- provide a foundation and an understanding of applying a team approach in their work.
Evaluation
Each training team should meet at the close of each day to debrief the sessions of that day and take note of things that went
well and those that need to be modified for the following day.
At the end of each day, leave time for and encourage participants to contribute their comments and feedback on what was
most helpful and what was least helpful. Participants should be given an evaluation form to complete at the end of the entire
event.
After the completion of the program, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------the suggestions into the program materials. This process
contributes to improvements and leads to a model program can be replicated at other times and in other places.
Training is the most important function that directly contributes to the development of human resources. This also happens to be
a neglected function in most of the organizations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- cent of their budget on training. Many organizations do
not even have a training department. If ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- of behaviour and styles. One of the main mechanisms of
achieving this environment is institutional training.
Training is not fulfilling its proper role in various organizations. There are, at least, the following five reasons for the
plight in which training is at present in Organisation.
1. ------------------------------ Role
2. Expectancy of ----------------------------------------

4. Non--------------------------------
5. Slow ---------------------------
One factor for which we, those who are in the ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------of those persons who want to join it. It develops its
own skills of working, its own techniques, and its own standards of ethics. It develops a strong pressure group to ensure that
the minimum standards of pre-professional and in-professional training are maintained.
Example-
The organization I am referring here is HCL. Induction training is an important component of the training life cycle.

The Entry-level Training program for fresh graduates from the campuses consists of a Foundation module and six standard
Technical Tracks (CC++, Java, Dot Net, Oracle, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------designed for entry-level trainees to apply the technology
learnings they have acquired during the trainer-led classroom-training program.
Lateral hires are trained through various means such as online training, collaborative learning, certification programs, instructor-
led and on-demand training.
