• Validity of General Mental Ability for the Prediction of Job Performance and Training Success in Germany: A Meta-Analysis (2007, unknown): “…could be considered as potential causes of validity differences of personnel selection measures, as Salgado and Anderson speculated (2003, cf. Bertua et al., 2005 for related arguments): Differences in work-related values (Hofstede, 1980), different leadership prototypes (Brodbeck, Frese,…”
• Job performance ratings: The relative importance of mental ability, conscientiousness, and career adaptability (2015, background): “In another metaanalysis on the predictive validity of general mental ability for job performance, Bertua, Anderson, and Salgado (2005) distinguished between seven occupational groups (clerical, engineer, professional, driver, operator, manager, and sales).”
• Increased Accuracy for Range Restriction Corrections: Implications for the Role of Personality and General Mental Ability in Job and Training Performance (2008, methodology): “For GMA we found eight meta-analytic estimates of mean validity each for overall job performance and performance in training (Bertua et al., 2005; Hunter, 1986; Salgado, Anderson, Moscoso, Bertua, de Fruyt, & Rolland, 2003a; Salgado, Anderson, Moscoso, Bertua, & de Fruyt, 2003b).”
• A Meta-Analysis of the Interactive, Additive, and Relative Effects of Cognitive Ability and Motivation on Performance (2018, result): “…example, our mean observed correlation of .18 between ability and job performance is very similar to observed correlations of .14 to .20 reported in studies such as Berry, Clark, and McClure (2011), Bertua, Anderson, and Salgado (2005), Gonzalez-Mulé et al. (2014), and Nathan and Alexander (1988).”
