Psychological Requirements Analysis in Theory and Practice : For Executives and Human Resources Managers Who Want to Raise Requirement Profiles

Psychological requirement analyses with their requirement and qualification profiles show what will be important at work in the future! Both the selection of applicants and the training of personnel, as was the case, for example, in view of new strategic challenges in the financing business of a bank, should benefit from this information, which is to be collected in advance by means of a mix of methods, e.g., questionnaires and "expert interviews" on site. Selected key personnel figures from operational HR work should be used to check whether the current HR strategy is "still on track". This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 1st edition essentials, Psychologische Anforderungsanalysen in Theorie und Praxis by Heribert Wienkamp, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020.

A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
