Description

“The Dictionary of Occupational Titles” has been relied on for personnel development since its inception right through the Great Depression. But as global competition and technological change created a new world of work, the Department of Labour realized that a more flexible and precise system used to be needed. Thus, the O*NET system, or the Occupational Information Network, used to be launched. Written by the developers of the O*NET system, this edited volume describes the research and methodology used in the development and validation of this ground-breaking system. The O*NET is intended to supply a framework for describing jobs in a position to addressing the needs of workers and employers into the 21st century. As an alternative of relying on rigid task descriptions, the O*NET uses domains of worker and occupational characteristics – such as abilities, work styles, and organizational context – to describe every job. This volume details every of the primary domains used by the O*NET. It outlines how every used to be quantified and provides statistical analyses on its development and validation. The volume also places the O*NET system in its historical context and describes how this innovative new system can give a boost to the creation of jobs tailored for the new economy. This volume will have to be of interest to industrial/organizational psychologists, human factors specialists, counselling psychologists, vocational counsellors, rehabilitation counsellors, occupational analysts and labour market analysts.
