Self-report of behavioural preferences. At hrmforce the Big Fifty and the 15PF.
This is a selection criterion, not a short-term development goal. Do not put a three-month development plan on it.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Names which tasks appeal and asks the supervisor whether more of that kind can be included in the work. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Shapes the own set of tasks in consultation so that drivers and work coincide, and substantiates that with examples. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Designs work and roles in the organisation so that people's drivers are matched to tasks, and reviews that periodically. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession |
N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
