Abstract
Les recherches sur la sélection et l’évaluation sont abordées d’un point de vue tourné vers l’avenir. On recense quatre grand thèmes d’importance majeure dans le développement des futures recherches: la prédiction bimodale, l’adaptation polyvalente, les réactions et décisions pertinentes et les tensions entre la recherche et la pratique dans la sélection professionnelle. Pour chacun de ces thèmes, nous soulevons certains problèmes qui restent à traiter. On discute enfin des conséquences sur la patique et les avancées actuelles dans le domaine de la sélection, traditionnellement l’une des plus actives des disciplines centrales de la psychologie internationales du travail. A future‐oriented perspective for selection and assessment research is presented. Four superordinate themes of critical import to the development of future research are identified: (i) bimodal prediction, (ii) multilevel fit, (iii) applicant reactions and decision making, and (iv) tensions between research and practice in employee selection. Under each theme we pose a number of outstanding questions for research. Implications for practice and the ongoing advancement of the sub‐field of selection, traditionally one of the most robust core disciplines in international IWO psychology, are discussed.Keywords
