Answer to Question 1

Abilities can be managed by selection, placement, and training. Through selection, managers can identify the desired workers' tasks, identify the abilities needed to accomplish these tasks, and then develop accurate measures of these abilities. If these measures predict performance accurately, they can be used to select individuals that have the skills the organization needs. Through placement, the organization must accurately match a particular worker to a particular job. This requires identifying the skills needed for the various jobs in the organization. Placement is important for dealing with new hires, promotions, and horizontal moves. There may also be a need to enhance employees' skills to enable them to perform jobs effectively. Training may be conducted to improve the skills to a minimum level or to raise those skills to a higher level.
