Achieving Content Validity in a Performance Appraisal Instrument

Hotel and Restaurant Administration Washington State University

This paper discusses how content validity can be achieved in the development of an appraisal instrument within the hospitality industry. Decision criteria for making employment decisions (e.g., select, promote, dismiss) constitute a "test" which, if challenged in court, must meet validation standards set forth in the Uniform Guidelines for Employee Selection. In the case of a performance rating used to promote or dismiss an employee, the rating must meet the minimal criterion of content validity.
