The JHG Company has used discriminatory hiring practices in the past but they adjusted their practices and are following federal laws now to ensure that fair hiring practices are met. However, the JHG Company has an employee referral program as a primary source to recruit new employees. What danger may the JHG Company be exposed to in this scenario?

  1. Perpetuating past unintentional practices
  2. Perpetuating past discrimination practices
  3. Succumbing to an adverse impact
  4. Not finding qualified racially diverse candidates

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This is an example of how past discriminatory practices can perpetuate themselves in the organization, by using the current pool of employees to bring new applicants. Past discriminatory practices that created the current pool of employees can cause the current pool to refer similar candidates to the company.
Answer option D is incorrect. While this choice is tempting the question doesn't reveal what the discriminatory practices were in the past. The discriminatory practices could have been race, sex, religion, or a host of other discrimination.
Answer option A is incorrect. The question doesn't reveal if the past practices were intentional or not, and the current situation could and could not be unintentional. The best answer, however, is that this scenario perpetuates past discrimination practices. Answer option C is incorrect. An adverse impact is the overall effect of a disparate action. While this answer is tempting, it's not the best choice for the question.



You are a HR Professional for your organization and you're preparing your team for a series of interviews. You want the team to be familiar with the validity types you'll use and encourage in the series of interviews. One of the requirements in the interview process for a graphic designer is, for the graphic designer to use a software program and to create a simple brochure. This is an example of what type of validity?

  1. Construct-related validity
  2. Predictive validity
  3. Criterion-related validity
  4. Content validity

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The selection criterion for the graphic designer to use the software program and create a brochure is indicative of the type of work the graphic designer should be able to do in the job. This is an example of content validity for the applicant.
Answer option C is incorrect. Criterion-related validity is an example where performance scores achieved by current employees are based on the criterion used for the selection. For example, current employees can perform better because they can design artwork in particular software programs, so applicants must be able to use the particular software program to qualify for the position.
Answer option A is incorrect. Construct-related validity measures certain psychological tests to determine whether the applicant possesses the desired characteristics to operate successfully in the position.
Answer option B is incorrect. Predictive-validity is a confirmation of characteristics the candidate is tested for during the interview process, hold true in the actual performance of the candidate once they've been hired.
