Measuring achievement striving via a situational judgment test: the value of additional context
ABSTRACT The study extends personality and situational judgment test (SJT) research by using an SJTto measure achievement striving in a contextualized manner. Employed students responded to the achievement striving SJT, traditional personality scales, and workplace performance measures. The SJTwas internally consistent, items loaded on a single factor, and scores converged with other measures of achievement striving. The SJTprovided incremental criterion-related validity for the performance criteria beyond less-contextualized achievement striving measures. Findings suggest that achievement-related work scenarios may provide additional criterion-relevant information not captured by measures that are less contextualized.
