Personality Assessment
Authors: Sherman Ryne A. , Hogan Robert 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Personality assessment began as an effort to solve practical problems in personnel selection. Modern applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning have potential to substantially improve the validity of personality assessments. However, these efforts are currently couched in terms of trait theory, and the resulting conceptual confusion makes progress in assessment impossible. Trait theory has two problems: (1) it is tautological (e.g., Mike Tyson is aggressive because he has a trait for aggressiveness), and (2) it defines the goal of assessment as measuring traits defined as hypothetical neuropsychic entities. In contrast, the authors (1) are agnostic about the existence of unobservable neuropsychic entities and (2) believe the goal of assessment is to predict performance. Finally, the chapter argues that personality assessment should return to its roots as an applied discipline focused on predicting important outcomes and not on measuring hypothetical entities.
Artificial Intelligence in Automated Scoring of Video Interviews
Authors: Mondragon Nathan 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The use of artificial intelligence (AI)-scored video interviews has increased significantly in the past five years and gained mainstream momentum with the shift to remote prehire tools during the pandemic. Asynchronous video interviews (AVIs) hold the promise of a more efficient hiring process, that is more candidate friendly, with less bias than traditional screening methods, and that meets the measurement standards of the industrial-organizational profession. However, little published research has documented these benefits. This chapter summarizes much of the established research on AVIs and the AI methods to score these interviews, presents a methodology for designing autoscored AVIs, and discusses the latest published (and unpublished) psychometric results concerning reliability, convergent validity, criterion validity, and adverse impact. The chapter submits that these results are on par with the published research on structured interviews, and thus the scale and scope of using AVIs for prehire needs are above and beyond traditional assessment methods. The chapter also discusses the utility of multidisciplinary approaches to designing innovative talent assessments and reminds readers of the benefits of following IO assessment principles in the design of these novel approaches.
Social Media Data in Assessments
Authors: Vaughn Daly , Cubrich Marc 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Trends in the utilization of social media in staffing contexts suggest it is an increasingly integral part of the hiring process. To remain competitive, organizations and decision makers must be informed on the applications, benefits, and risks of social media data and its use in assessment and staffing. This chapter provides a research-informed overview of the use of social media data in hiring, delving specifically into existing validity evidence, the benefits for job seekers and organizations, risks, and future opportunities resulting from its use. This review ultimately informs a set of practical recommendations for practitioners in the current talent landscape.
Balancing Innovation and Professional Standards for Employment Tests
Authors: Tippins Nancy T. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses innovative selection procedures and the expectations set forth in current professional guidelines for employment tests, the Principles for the Validation and Use of Personnel Selection Procedures. Innovative selection procedures may be based on traditional forms of data (e.g., test scores) or nontraditional data (e.g., games, video interviews, facial characteristics, voice quality, and “big data”) and often use artificial intelligence to evaluate the information collected. Although the Principles applies to all forms of employment tests, innovative selection procedures raise new questions about how these standards can be met. This chapter highlights some of the challenges in meeting professional standards in the areas of work analysis, validity, and fairness and bias. It also raises a number of operational issues that arise with the use of innovative selection procedures, such as concerns about cheating, test security, data privacy and integrity, and the effects of disabilities on test performance.
The Full (Assessment) Monty
Authors: Dreyer Matt , Walia Vicki , Hartog Sandra , Collins Lynn 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Accelerating development of high-potential leaders to improve readiness to take on current and future challenges has and will continue to be a priority for organizations. This case study describes how Prudential is using a variety of assessment approaches to collect data for individuals and the organization to use to more clearly identify areas of strength and opportunity. A specific leadership program is highlighted, along with how traditional leadership assessments, 360s, and high-fidelity business simulations are utilized in combination with coaching and feedback to create a powerful development experience. The program has resulted in substantial individual and organizational insights and outcomes. Looking toward the future of how the benefits of assessment, coaching, and feedback can be leveraged at scale, the authors describe how the organization is creating an internal Talent Marketplace and introducing a simple but impactful everyday coaching model.
The Self-Expressive Rhetoric of Flexible Meter
Authors: Murphy Nancy 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Joni Mitchell’s 1969 performances of “The Fiddle and the Drum” demonstrate four central features of singer-songwriter self-expression: self-presentation, personal or political lyrics, vocal production, and flexible meter. Flexible meter arises in 1960s and 1970s singer-songwriter music as a technique of self-expression in performance, influenced by folk revival sources as a means of demonstrating an “authentic” performance practice. This chapter positions Bob Dylan as a central figure in the absorption of metric “imperfection” from folk and blues influences into his original songwriting, propagating his general image as a shambolic performer and ensuring singer-songwriter music included flexible meter. The presence of flexible meter in singer-songwriter music signals that it is both a self-expressive rhetoric and a method of self-positioning for these artists within the singer-songwriter tradition.
Rebuilding Community
Authors: Khoja-Moolji Shenila 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Over the course of the twentieth century, Shia Ismaili Muslim communities were repeatedly displaced. How, in the aftermath of these displacements, did they remake their communities? Khoja-Moolji highlights women’s critical role in this rebuilding process and breaks new ground by writing women into modern Ismaili history. Rebuilding Community tells the story of Shia Ismaili Muslim women who recreated religious community (jamat) in the wake of disruption. Drawing on oral histories, fieldwork, and memory texts, the author illuminates the placemaking activities through which Ismaili women reproduce bonds of spiritual kinship: from cooking for congregants on khushali days and looking after sick coreligionists to engaging in memory work through miracle stories and cookbooks. The author situates these activities within the framework of ethical norms that more broadly define and sustain the Ismaili sociality. Jamat—and religious community more generally—is not a given but an ethical relation that is maintained daily and intergenerationally through everyday acts of care. By emphasizing women’s care work in producing relationality and repairing trauma, Khoja-Moolji disrupts the conventional articulation of displaced people as dependent subjects.
Epilogue
Authors: Lim Désirée 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This chapter offers some remarks on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the continued relevance of the social egalitarian framework that has been presented earlier in the book. While the pandemic has disproportionately affected marginalized groups like Black Americans and Black British people, it has also had a detrimental effect on the social equality of immigrants. At the same time, pre-existing social inequalities amongst migrant populations has compounded the effect of the pandemic. In particular, the chapter discusses the uptick in social stigma against immigrants perceived to be of East Asian descent and blamed for causing the pandemic, the Trump administration’s seizing the opportunity to stoke xenophobic fears and impose harsher restrictions on immigration, and finally, the disparate health outcomes suffered by low-skilled migrants in active employment and detention centers alike.
Making Space for Sant Texts
Authors: Orsini Francesca 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Songs, storytelling, and other forms of oral verbal art play a determinant role in literary expression around the world, yet unwritten verbal arts are usually explicitly excluded from definitions of world literature. This chapter focuses on the orature of poet-saints called Sants, who since the fifteenth century have provided a powerful poetic voice for lower-caste individuals and groups to articulate a sense of self, of social and religious hierarchies, and of the nature of things. The chapter examines the obstacles that have stood in the way of a full aesthetic appreciation of Sant orature as examples of critical attitudes toward orature more broadly. It then outlines the verbal artistry and linguistic experimentation in song-poems by Sants from the region East of Delhi, and shows that although Sant orature has been incredibly mobile, it also profits from a located and multilingual approach, as the case of Malukdas in the small town of Kara shows.
Bearing Witness to Suffering at End of Life
Authors: Van Hope Stephanie , Booth Janet , Rosa William E. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The approaches to alleviate suffering at the end of life continue to evolve. This chapter outlines four approaches to caring for dying people and their loved ones, centered on cure, comfort, consciousness, and culture. Nurses in settings dominated by any of these approaches can use self-compassion in the presence of suffering as a foundation for care for the patient, family, and self. In addition, we suggest a new concept, participatory grieving, which is care for dying people and their loved ones that is engaged and communal, as a means to actively work with suffering. Nurses working from a cultural and participatory grieving perspective may find their role shifting from professional caregiver to community organizer.
A Duty not to Remain Silent: Hypocrisy and the Lack of Standing not to Blame
Authors: Lippert-Rasmussen Kasper 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
A notable feature of our practice of blaming is that blamees can dismiss blame for their own blameworthy actions when the blamer is censuring them hypocritically and, as it is often put, lacks standing to blame them as a result. This feature has received a good deal of philosophical attention in recent years. By contrast, no attention has been given the possibility that, likewise, refraining from blaming can be hypocritical and dismissed as standingless. I argue that hypocritical refrainers have a duty to blame, if asked to do so, and possibly even if they are not asked to do so. Acknowledging this fact about hypocritical silence is crucial to an adequate understanding of our practice of blaming. Specifically, it bears on a worry that naturally arises when we consider cases where the blamee is blameworthy yet the blaming is problematic, because standingless. The worry is that, absurdly, the idea of standing justifies our being more interested in silencing preachers of virtue than making wrongdoers overcome vice. However, if one can lack standing not to blame, this concern is unwarranted. If there is such a thing as standing to blame, then sometimes one must, for reasons of standing, speak up in the face of wrongdoing, meaning, in effect, that one lacks the right not to challenge wrongdoers to improve.
A new serum biochemical marker of synovium turnover predicts radiographic progression in patients with early arthritis
Authors: Garnero Patrick , Gineyts Evelyne , Rousseau Jean-Charles , Richette Pascal , Sellam Jérémie , Chapurlat Roland 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

Objective
To investigate whether serum Col 3–4, a new biochemical marker of synovial tissue turnover, was associated with progression of joint damage in patients with early arthritis.

Methods
A total of 788 early arthritis patients (&lt;6 months of symptoms, 82% diagnosis of RA, 18% undifferentiated arthritis) from the prospective ESPOIR study were investigated. Progression was defined as an increase of 1 or 5 unit(s) in radiographic van der Heijde modified Sharp score between baseline and 1 or 5 years, respectively. Associations between baseline Col 3–4 and progression were assessed by logistic regression.

Results
Each standard deviation increase of baseline Col 3–4 levels was associated with an increased 5-yr total damage progression with an odds ratio (OR, 95% CI) of 1.51 (1.21, 1.88), which remained significant when DAS28, C-reactive protein and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies positivity were included in the model [OR (95% CI): 1.34 (1.01, 1.76)]. Further adjustment for bone erosion did not modify the association. Patients with both Col 3–4 in the highest quintile and bone erosion had a &gt;2-fold higher risk of progression [OR (95% CI): 7.16 (2.31, 22)] than patients with either high Col 3–4 [2.91 (1.79, 4.73)] or bone erosion [2.36 (2.38, 3.70)] alone. Similar associations were observed for prediction of 12 months progression.

Conclusions
Increased serum Col 3–4 is associated with a higher risk of structural progression, independently of major risk factors. Col 3–4 may be useful in association with bone erosion to identify patients with early arthritis at higher risk.
Ideating University Reform in Japan
Authors: Breaden Jeremy 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAs is the case in many countries, university reform is a perennial topic of discussion in Japan and there is an extensive domestic literature on this topic, ranging in character from tabloid to scholarly. The purpose of this essay is to introduce some of the themes currently preoccupying Japanese authors at the more scholarly end of this spectrum. The essay reviews texts dealing with the fundamental nature of ‘Japanese’ universities, how they are managed, and their relationship with government, all with a view to identifying ways out of the gridlock of intractable problems and unworkable solutions which, as the essay explains, afflicts much of the existing literature. The essay highlights especially contributions which lack direct parallels in the international Anglophone literature on university reform, encouraging readers to explore further for themselves and initiate greater dialogue between vernacular and ‘global’ scholarly traditions.
Arabidopsis thaliana Early Foliar Proteome Response to Root Exposure to the Rhizobacterium Pseudomonas simiae WCS417

Published: July 2023

Pseudomonas simiae WCS417 is a plant growth–promoting rhizobacterium that improves plant health and development. In this study, we investigate the early leaf responses of Arabidopsis thaliana to WCS417 exposure and the possible involvement of formate dehydrogenase (FDH) in such responses. In vitro–grown A. thaliana seedlings expressing an FDH::GUS reporter show a significant increase in FDH promoter activity in their roots and shoots after 7 days of indirect exposure (without contact) to WCS417. After root exposure to WCS417, the leaves of FDH::GUS plants grown in the soil also show an increased FDH promoter activity in hydathodes. To elucidate early foliar responses to WCS417 as well as FDH involvement, the roots of A. thaliana wild-type Col and atfdh1-5 knock-out mutant plants grown in soil were exposed to WCS417, and proteins from rosette leaves were subjected to proteomic analysis. The results reveal that chloroplasts, in particular several components of the photosystems PSI and PSII, as well as members of the glutathione S-transferase family, are among the early targets of the metabolic changes induced by WCS417. Taken together, the alterations in the foliar proteome, as observed in the atfdh1- 5 mutant, especially after exposure to WCS417 and involving stress-responsive genes, suggest that FDH is a node in the early events triggered by the interactions between A. thaliana and the rhizobacterium WCS417.

Career success of expatriates: the impacts of career capital, expatriate type, career type and career stage
Authors: Mello Rodrigo , Suutari Vesa , Dickmann Michael 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThis paper investigates whether career capital (CC) development abroad, expatriate type, career type and career stage affect expatriates' career success in terms of perceived marketability and the number of promotions.Design/methodology/approachThe study presents findings from a 2020 follow-up study among 327 expatriates, including assigned expatriates (AEs) (n = 117) and self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) (n = 220), who worked abroad in 2015 and 2016. Among that group, 186 had continued their international career, while 141 had repatriated. Structural equation modeling with robust maximum likelihood estimation was used to test this study's hypotheses. MPlus 8.6 software supported the analysis.FindingsThe study outlines that CC developed abroad positively impacts perceived marketability and the number of promotions. Second, repatriates reported a greater degree of perceived marketability than those continuing an international career. Career type did not predict the number of promotions. The expatriate type did not influence any of the career success measures. Finally, expatriates in their late-career stage did not achieve a similar level of career success as those in other career stages.Research limitations/implicationsAll the expatriates were university-educated Finnish engineers and business professionals, and the career benefits of expatriation could differ for different sample groups. The study calls for more context-sensitive global careers research. The findings have positive implications for self-guided career actors considering working abroad. Organizations could focus more of their global talent attraction, management and career efforts on SIEs.Originality/valueTo analyze the impacts of these four antecedents on the career success of expatriates, the authors cooperated with two Finnish labor unions in 2020 to explore the careers of 327 expatriates, having surveyed the same group in 2015/2016. Such follow-up studies are not very common in expatriation research since it is difficult to keep track of expatriates who change locations and employers.
Longitudinal study of lean tools in Spanish manufacturing firms
Authors: Palacios Gazules Sergio , Giménez Leal Gerusa , de Castro Vila Rodolfo 
Published: July 2023

PurposeLean management is a suitable methodology for companies that want to improve their productive performance and competitiveness. This study aims to research levels of implementation and internalisation of Lean production tools in Spanish manufacturing companies, and explores differences in behaviour between SMEs and large companies based on data gathered over three time periods. The correlation between Lean adoption and company performance is also analysed.Design/methodology/approachCompany survey data for the years 2012, 2015 and 2018 collected from 354 respondents were used to conduct a longitudinal study on the level of lean tool adoption and internalisation in manufacturing companies.FindingsOver the years, the use of Lean tools has increased, whereas levels of internalisation have remained stable. Lean tool use in SMEs and large companies show significant differences in 2012 and 2015, but this is no longer the case 2018. Results also show that higher Lean tool use helps increase return on sales (ROS), and higher levels of internalisation of tools helps reduce the number of products rejected.Originality/valueTo date, there are no known studies on the use and internalisation of Lean tools or their correlations with business performance indicators in Spanish manufacturing companies.
Personality disorder: no longer a diagnosis?
Authors: Temple Peta 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore the historic policy context and social implications of the diagnosis of personality disorder and also consider formulation-based and trauma-informed understandings of distress.

Design/methodology/approach
Ongoing changes to (and splits between) medical understandings of what is being labelled as personality disorder have eroded the label’s cultural capital, adding weight to lived-experience-led calls to Drop the Disorder (Watson, 2019). This paper explores the impact and implications of the historic policy and practice context through a lived experience lens.

Findings
Such diversity of views in the lived experience and medical communities on personality disorder has allowed alternatives to diagnostically informed understandings of distress (such as formulation-based and trauma-informed approaches) to gain traction with practitioners (Bloom and Farragher, 2013; Johnstone and Boyle, 2020). The broader assimilation of these alternative perspectives into dominant medical ideology is evidenced by the fact that the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCP) is now also exploring alternatives to diagnosis (2023). This suggests even more change ahead for how we understand people and their relationships with trauma and distress.

Research limitations/implications
This paper discusses UK policy and does not include broader global policies.

Practical implications
This paper would be helpful for any student interested in where the ideas that underpin personality disorder diagnosis stemmed from and why so many lived experience practitioners and experts by profession question the diagnosis' legitimacy.

Social implications
As the RCP is now considering alternatives to diagnosis, it is even more critical that practitioners are aware of the competing narratives surrounding this contested diagnosis – as the author believes this will promote more compassionate, trauma-informed working practices.

Originality/value
This is the author’s own work and includes not only the RCP position change but also directly quotes Professor Tyrer (who wrote the International Classification of Diseases 11), giving his views on the changed RCP position, as he recently presented at a conference here in Cornwall. The author is a part of Lighthouse peer support group and wrote this paper as preparation for a Participatory Action Research project they are planning, where they will evaluate the Sanctuary Approach with their membership to create a lived experience-designed trauma-informed charter. Before starting that work, the author wanted to better understand the historic policy context and created this paper to fill that need.
