General mental ability in the world of work: occupational attainment and job performance. (2004, background): “…that the major mediating link between GMA and job performance is job knowledge is described in Borman, Hanson, Oppler, and Pulakos (1993); Borman, White, Pulakos, and Oppler (1991); Hunter (1983a); Hunter and Schmidt (1996); Schmidt (2002); Schmidt and Hunter (1992); and Schmidt et al. (1986).”
Academic performance, career potential, creativity, and job performance: can one construct predict them all? (2004, background): “, Ackerman, 1987, 1992; Lohman, 1999), and job training success (for reviews, see Ree & Caretta, 1998; Schmidt, 2002).”
Deep-level composition variables as predictors of team performance: a meta-analysis. (2007, background): “Few things have been as widely supported in the industrial and organizational psychology literature as the relationship between GMA and individual-level performance (Schmidt, 2002).”
Team adaptation in context: An integrated conceptual model and meta-analytic review (2017, background): “Cognitive ability is of particular importance for complex situations requiring high levels of information-processing (e.g., Hunter, 1986; Hunter & Hunter, 1984; Schmidt, 2002), which is necessary when teams face an adaptive stimulus.”
If you are so smart, why aren't you an Entrepreneur? (2008, unknown): “Economists and psychologists have shown ample evidence that general (cognitive) ability affects economic and social outcomes markedly (e.g., Borghans et al., 2008; Gottfredson, 2002; Heckman et al., 2006; Herrnstein and Murray, 1994;).”
Explaining the Weak Relationship Between Job Performance and Ratings of Job Performance (2008, background): “measures of job performance, which in almost every case are supervisory ratings (Schmidt, 2002).”
A model of educational leadership: Wisdom, intelligence, and creativity, synthesized (2005, background): “Here the emphasis is on practical intelligence (Hedlund et al. 2003, Sternberg et al. 2000, Sternberg and Hedlund 2002), which has a somewhat different focus from emotional intelligence.”
Unpacking Prior Experience: How Career History Affects Job Performance (2009, background): “Education is the number of years of post high school education, which proxies general ability, a predictor of performance (Schmidt 2002).”
Job satisfaction as mediator: An assessment of job satisfaction's position within the nomological network (2007, background): “Given the primacy of factors such as general mental ability (e.g. Schmidt & Hunter, 1998; Schmidt, 2002), job experience (e.g. McDaniel, Schmidt, & Hunter, 1988), and procedural and declarative knowledge (e.g. McCloy, Campbell, & Cudeck, 1994) in determining task performance it is not surprising…”
Situational Judgment Tests and their Predictiveness of College Students’ Success: The Influence of Faking (2005, background): “This contrasts with internally constructed measures, such as cognitive ability measures, whose validity has been found to generalize across a wide variety of jobs and occupations (Schmidt, 2002).”
Effect size and power in assessing moderating effects of categorical variables using multiple regression: a 30-year review. (2005, background): “…of the pervasive interest in moderators and the theorybased expectation that moderators should be found, many researchers have concluded that moderating effects do not exist in a number of research domains (e.g., Chaplin, 1997; Schmidt, 1988, 2002; Schmidt & Hunter, 1981; Wigdor & Garner, 1982).”
A Meta-Analysis of the Predictive Validity of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) and Undergraduate Grade Point Average (UGPA) for Graduate Student Academic Performance. (2007, background): “Similarly, cognitive ability has been found to predict training success in employment settings (Ree, Caretta, & Earles, 1998; Schmidt, 2002 ).”
