Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

There are four types of validity that HR Professional should be familiar with: content validity, criterion-related validity, construct validity, and predictive validity. There is no such category as professional validity.

Answer options D, A, and C are incorrect. Predictive validity, content validity, and construct validity are the categories of validity, as part of abiding by the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures.

Hold up, is this a trick question? What if the real answer is E) Donuts and coffee - because let's be honest, that's the true secret to keeping HR professionals happy and productive.

Yeah, I agree. Staying updated on market trends and employee attitudes definitely falls under being a catalyst in the HR Impact Model.

A) Programs and processes? I mean, sure, that's important, but it's not the most exciting part of the job. I'd much rather be the HR superhero, the Catalyst, shaking things up and driving change. Where's the fun in just following procedures?

D) Consultation is the way to go here. That's where HR can really shine by providing expert advice and guidance to managers and employees. Though I do enjoy a good policy manual, that's not the core of the HR Impact Model.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I was leaning towards B) Policies and procedures, but I suppose C) Catalyst makes sense too. As an HR pro, you've got to be more than just a rule-book enforcer, right?

As an HR professional, staying on top of market trends and employee attitudes is crucial. I think the answer is C) Catalyst - the HR Impact Model emphasizes how HR can drive change and be a catalyst for improving organizational performance.

I see your point, Paulene. But I think it's Programs and processes because we need to implement strategies based on the information we gather.
