Understanding the Use of Psychometric Testing by Maltese Organisations for the Purpose of Recruitment and Selection

This qualitative research applies a grounded theory methodology to understand the use of psychometric testing by Maltese organisations for the purpose of recruitment and selection. In-depth interviews were conducted with five local organisations to obtain their perception and expertise in the administration and interpretation of psychometric tests in Malta. Data collected was analysed using MAXQDA and coded and analysed using Strauss and Corbin (2008) paradigms of Contextual Conditions, Actions and Reactions and Consequences and Outcomes to assess interrelationships in the information obtained. The study identifies a number of factors that affect the use of psychometric testing by local organisations, and recommends ways on how to increase and effectively use psychometric testing in the recruitment and selection process in Malta.
