Abstract:

• The authors contend there has been little focused research on the psychometric properties of the job analysis ratings used to determine job content.
• In the current study, task importance ratings for a single job are examined to determine whether rater experience and race have significant effects on job performance strategy and job perspectives, as measured by job analysis ratings.
