Abstract
Although increasing research attention is being directed at applicant reactions to selection processes, little work has been directed at per ceptions of physical abilities testing. This study examined the percei ved job relatedness of physical abilities tests. Experience, self-effi cacy, and consistency of test administration were found to be related to perceptions of job relevance. Implications for selection system des ign are discussed.
