Research indicates there are relationships between job performance and human abilities as well as job performance and organizational commitment. Given these relationships if human resources personnel could predict performance of an employee using a method that identifies critical human abilities for successful completion of a job and its association with organizational commitment then consequently costs associated with employee turnover could be minimized.
