Dimension and exercise variance in assessment center scores: A large-scale evaluation of multitrait-multimethod studies

This study addresses 3 questions regarding assessment center construct validity: (a) Are assessment center ratings best thought of is reflecting dimension constructs (dimension model). exercises (exercise model). or a combination? (b) To what extent do dimensions or exercises account for variance? (...
