question 45

Essay

John Campbell and his associates have developed a theory of work performance. Campbell proposes that the behaviours that people are expected to exhibit as part of their job appear to fall into eight job performance dimensions. You are applying for a position as an HRM. Describe and give an example of two performance dimensions from Campbell's model that you believe would be major performance components required of a HRM. Describe how these performances are expressed in relation to an organization's mission and goals. How could this desired performance be measured? What criteria could be used? What determines individual differences in Campbell's eight job performance components? Why would you perform more effectively and efficiently than another candidate?
