Assessing the developmental components of managerial jobs.

Abstract

The authors describe the development of and build validity evidence for the Developmental Challenge Profile (DCP), an instrument for assessing the developmental components of managerial jobs. Factor analysis of responses from 692 managers resulted in the creation of 15 DCP scales. Assessments of internal consistency, confirmation of the factor structure, and test-retest reliability provided further psychometric support for the scales. The existence of expected relationships between the scales and reports of on-the-job learning, job transitions, objective features of the jobs, and psychological states of the job incumbents provided validity evidence and supported use of these scales in management development research and applications
