Head of HR, State Police Department
We have been thinking about using psychologi;cal testing for selecting entrants to the police force for many years, but never really followed it up.  Given your work,
can you tell me if there is current research on using psychological testing to ensure better quality selection in organizations like ours e.g. police forces, defence
forces etc.
If we were to use psychological testing would it make us more or less attractive to potential applicants?

Sample Annotation
The citation goes first and is followed by the annotation. Make sure that you follow the required citation style (APA or Harvard). The summary needs to be concise
(please note the following example is entirely fictitious).
In the sample annotation below, each element is numbered (see Key). These numbers are to aid your understanding and should not appear in your written assignment.
(1) Trevor, C.O., Lansford, B. and Black, J.W., 2004, ‘Employee turnover and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion’, Journal of
Armchair Psychology, vol 113, no.1, pp. 56-64.
(2.) In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect to job performance, turnover rates and employee motivation. (3) The
authors use data gained through organisational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main causes of employee turnover and whether
it is linked to salary growth. (4) Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organisational reward schemes. (5) The
article is useful to my research topic, as Trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and variances in employee motivation and
performance. (6) The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to mid-level management, (7) thus the authors indicate that further, more
extensive, research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. (8) This article will not form the basis
of my research; however it will be useful supplementary information for my research on pay structures.    Key
