Abstract
This paper describes the development and validation of a personnel sel ection instrument designed to predict employee tenure. The instrument was developed using models of employee turnover, psychodynamic theory, and beliefs regarding the optimal way to advance one's career. Four p redictive designs were conducted to validate the instrument. Correlati on coefficients ranged from.14 (p <.07) to.28 (p < 05) in predicting t enure.
