   Addressing the Criterion Problem in I-O Psychology: We’re Going to Need a Bigger Toolbox

  with :Dr. Jeff Foster (Missouri State University)

  
  

   Date: Thursday, February 19, 2026

  Location:  St. Louis County Library, Clark Family Branch

  (1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63131)

  Time:  9:15 am to 10:30 am

  Networking time will begin at 9:15 and the presentation will begin at 9:30. 
  

  Event Information: This talk explores Dr. Foster’s ongoing work on how we define and measure job performance, or what we often call the “criterion problem” in I-O Psychology. He’ll introduce a Role-Based Approach to job analysis and performance measurement, which starts from the idea that there isn’t one single “true” measure of performance. Instead, he’ll argue that performance ratings reflect coworkers’ subjective views of how well someone fits the expectations, demands, and context of their role. He will also discuss practical techniques for collecting and interpreting performance ratings that align with this perspective. 

  Fees for this event are as follows:
  

  • $15 for Student GIOP members
  • $30 for Professional GIOP members
  • $50 for all non-members
