A2 - Krause, Bodo T1 - Evaluating the quality of assessment centers used in employee selection: development of a Benchmark for Assessment Center Diagnostics (BACDi) T2 - Empirische Evaluationsmethoden N2 - Assessment Centers (AC) generally yield an acceptable predictive validity, but the range of validity coefficients varies depending on the study. One reason for these heterogenic results might be the lack of commonly accepted quality criteria for the use of ACs in organizational practice. The project Benchmark for Assessment Center Diagnostics (BACDi) aims to systematically evaluate AC quality focusing on improving their predictive validity. For this reason, the BACDi-instrument was developed in cooperation with AC experts from research and organizational practice. The instrument provides an evaluation of AC quality according to 67 quality criteria based on scientific evidence or recommendations relating to predictive validity. Furthermore, a norm is created that allows organizations to compare their results to those of similar organizations within a benchmark. This article describes the theoretical background of the BACDi-project as well as the development of the BACDi-instrument. In addition, the current application and evaluation of the BACDi-instrument and perspectives of the BACDi-project are presented.
