The McCroskey Vocational Quotient System (MVQS) Worker Trait Factor

Critical Variables (CV) Theory for Job-Person Matching

 

Basic Tenants of MVQS Worker-Trait-Factor Critical Variables Theory:

 

In keeping with Parson's Informal and the Formal Minnesota Theory of Work Adjustment . . .,

 

1.       The Nature of Man is Good. If employable, he or she will work within his or her given vocational assets and limitations.

2.        Given the opportunity, workers will move toward maximizing their Individual Vocational Potential and Earning Capacity, as measured by their VQ, through reasonable career development over time.

3.        Earning Capacity is a function of overall job difficulty in terms of mental, physical, work context and environmental condition job demands/worker trait requirements tempered by Age, Education, Past Relevant Work History, Successful Job Tenure, the Acquisition of Transferable Skills through General and Specific Work Experience, and the Laws of Supply and Demand.

4.        Worker Earnings in jobs change over time as a function of the length of Job Tenure in those jobs.

5.        Maximum Vocational Potential and Earning Capacity are measurable through VQ Analysis. It is best ascertained through systematic MVQS Vocational Analysis of individual vocational functioning on the 24 Most Vocationally Significant, Critical Worker Trait-Level Requirement/Job Demand Levels, typically required by jobs for an individual to be successfully employed in such work.

6.        The 24 most Vocationally Significant Critical Worker Traits are founded on 124 Elements, each with their own critical values. Critical Worker Trait Triangulation employing multiple independent Elements and consideration of reasonable accommodation yield reliable, valid job-person matching results.

7.        Pre and Post effects of training, transferable skills development, as well as the adverse impact of injuries and disability on employability and earning capacity, are reflected in VQ changes over time.

8.        Occupational Density in terms of variety of specific job types, number of workers within and across specific job types, current employment and yearly openings for specific job types within a given specific labor market area, increases in direct proportion to People Density within that specific labor market.

 

MVQS Specific Vocational Analysis Assumptions:

 

1.        If there is no reliable evidence to the contrary, the levels of individual functioning are assumed to fall at the 50th %ile of vocational functioning relative to General Adult Working Population Norms. Thus, in the absence of relevant Medical, Psychiatric, Psychological or other reliable restrictions to the contrary, the Average Worker Profile on the MVQS 24 Critical Worker Trait Variables is assumed as the starting point for reliable MVQS Vocational Analysis. Additional relevant information may be ascertained through use of the highly reliable Vocational Diagnosis and Assessment of Residual Employability (VDARE) Maximum Least Demonstrated (MLD) Process, reliable Functional Capacities Assessment or Evaluation (FCA or FCE), or based on reliable, valid vocational tests and/or work samples. Other sources of useful information include relevant data obtained from High School Grades, Vocational Technical College, or other College transcripts, which reflect vocational assets and/or limitations.

2.        Unless specifically restricted by reliable evidence, the Average Worker can tolerate work situations requiring any, or all, of the 11 Temperaments, either singularly, or in any of the 146 possible Worker Temperament Trait combinations required by any of the 12,975 Occupations described in the McDOT Dictionary of Occupational Titles - 6th Ed. Revised Updated & Extended  (McCroskey, 2003).

3.        Critical Worker Trait Variables are modifiable from Middle Average based on reliable, valid test results, school grades, college transcripts, functional capacities evaluation, and relevant medical, psychiatric or psychological reports containing relevant vocational functioning/restrictions data, which the Vocational Analyst translates into vocational assets or limitations, as the case may be, relative to functional levels of Job Requirements on one or more of the 24 Critical Worker Traits.

4.        Worker Temperaments are modifiable in a downward direction, if specifically restricted by a reliable source, with specific relevant knowledge of the individual's vocational temperaments.

5.        Worker Earnings in jobs tend to increase over time as a function of successful Job Tenure in those jobs.

6.        The Critical Values for Critical Worker Trait Variables listed on the next 21 pages are provided as starting point indicators, with, or without, assumed reasonable accommodation. They may require further adjustment based on reliable evidence and reasoned clinical judgment by qualified experts.

 

High Internal Consistency Reliability

 

     High internal consistency reliability of MVQS Job-Person Matching is based on reasoned consideration of the 24 Most Vocationally Significant Critical Worker Traits and 11 Worker Temperament Traits. While Clinical Judgment is always the final arbiter, it should be reserved and based on relevant, reliable, scientific evidence with known error rates, as much as possible.

     The following pages list each of the 24 Critical Worker Traits and the 11 Temperament Traits along with Trait- and Element-level correlates for consideration in the MVQS approach to scientific Job-Person Matching. Relevant information must be reliable and valid (e.g., Medical, Psychiatric, Psychological restrictions; functional capacities from successful past relevant work history demonstrated levels of General Educational Development (GED - Reasoning, Math and Language), SVP, Aptitudes, Physical Capacities, Environmental Tolerances, Vocational Temperaments, testing and like information (see attached CV lists), and correlate with Critical Traits to be modified, at an Rxy of 0.30 or higher). On each of the following 24 lists, the first (bolded) variable at the top of the list is the Critical Variable, against which all correlates (italicized) from other Critical Trait- and Element-level Variable on the list are related as Predictor variables. The higher the predictive validity correlate, the better it predicts or accounts for variance in the first variable, as measured by its Rxy-Square (Coefficient of Determination) value. For example, when squared, an Rxy Correlation of 0.30 indicates that 9% of the variance in the Predicted Variable (the bolded Criterion Variable) can be accounted for by the known value of that italicized Predictor Variable. Critical Values (CV) for each of the Critical Trait-Level and Element-level Variables are listed in the CV Column. These values assume job-person matching, with or without, typical reasonable accommodation. They may be raised or lowered based on reasoned Clinical Judgment Consideration of planned intervention strategies available, undue hardship on specific employers, severity of disability, and other relevant considerations. All remaining pages contain the 24 Critical Variables with Trait and Element-Level Predictive Validity Coefficients based on their Correlations of Rxy=0.30, or higher, with the 24 Critical Variables.

 

MVQS Critical Variables Theory: Impact on Worker Trait Factor Theory

 

In 1927, the British Ministry of Labour published a Dictionary of Occupations with 16,837 main Occupational Titles and Definitions with 12,269 alternate Occupational Titles.

 

In the 1930s, the United States Department of Labor (US DOL) collected US Occupational Titles and Descriptions (N=17,452 main Occupational Titles and Definitions with 14,257 alternate Occupational Titles) and related Worker Traits/Job Requirements element-level data. In 1935, L. L. Thurstone incorporated Factor Analysis to systematically reduce the myriad of element-level data to the most-vocationally-significant Critical Variables (Worker Trait-Level Job Requirements/Job Demands) based on the underlying element-level data, which were clustered under several major Worker Trait Factor Components. Cutting Scores for Critical Variables measured by the General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB) Occupational Aptitude Patterns (OAPs) were developed as a data reduction technique (1-4 Critical Traits per OAP) vs. 9 traits identified in Thurstone’s Aptitudes Factor.

 

In 1954, single-modal Worker Trait Requirement/Job Demand Profiles were first developed for 4,000 Occupational Titles. In 1964, the Minnesota Theory of Work Adjustment (MTWA) was developed for the field of Rehabilitation Counseling. It focused on selected Critical Variables, primarily Aptitude (APT) Worker Traits/Job Demands and expanded traits-level data to include the constructs of Occupational Reinforcers of Worker Values and Needs). In 1965, there were 21,741 Occupational Titles in the 3rd Edition Dictionary of Occupational Titles (US DOL, 1965) were clustered within 114 Worker Trait Groups, each with a multi-modal Worker Trait Factor Components profile. In 1977, the 23,000 Occupational Titles in the 3rd Edition DOT were reduced to 12,099 Occupational Titles in the 4th Edition DOT, each with a single-modal Worker Trait Requirement/Job Demand Profile. In 1991, the 4th Edition Revised DOT (USDOL, 1991) expanded from 12,099 to 12741 Occupational Titles, each with a single-modal Worker Trait Requirement/Job Demand Profile, extended to include a single-modal set of 20 physical and 14 Environmental Condition, elements-level job requirements/job demands.

 

In 1993, the O*NET™ model was developed. It greatly expanded the list specific element-level data, from 51 Worker Traits with 20 Physical Demand Trait Elements and 14 Environmental Condition Trait Elements, to include 1,298 Element-level variables by 1998. Of the 1,298 Element-level variables, 483 had means-data reported in 1,122 of the 1,172 Occupational Unit Classification Transferable Skills Groups Profiles. These means-data job demand profiles added the set of six Occupational Values and 21 Needs identified in the MTWA in 1964. In 1998, the 483 variable O*NET™ model was officially adopted as a replacement for the 1991, 4th Edition Revised Dictionary of Occupational Titles. The 1998 O*NET™ model added 22 new Occupational Titles bringing the 1991 DOT (N=12,741) to 12,773 Occupational Titles grouped within 1,172 OUC TS Groups, with a means-data Worker Trait/Element-level data Profile developed for 1,122 OUC TS Groups.

 

From 1939 to 2003, the DOT job analysis data collection design model has been adjusted and expanded to include many enhancements to the US 1st Edition DOT which were reported in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and Rev. 4th Edition US Dictionaries of Occupational Titles and several related electronic DOT publications [USDOL, 1949 (N=22,028 main Occupational Titles and Definitions with 17,995 alternate Occupational Titles); 1965 (N=21,741 main Occupational Titles and Definitions with 17,761 alternate Occupational Titles); 1977 (N=12,099 main Occupational Titles and Definitions with 15,202 alternate Occupational Titles); the 1982 private sector McCroskey Dictionary of Occupational Titles (McDOT82, 4th Edition) modeled after the 1977 US DOT introduced the McCroskey Vocational Quotient (VQ) Job Difficulty Index to the DOT and contained 12,100 main Occupational Titles and Definitions with 15,204 alternate Occupational Titles; 1991 (N=12,741 main Occupational Titles and Definitions with 16,218 alternate Occupational Titles); the 1992 McCroskey Dictionary of Occupational Titles (McDOT92, 4th Edition Revised) modeled after the 1991 US DOT contained 12,743 main Occupational Titles and Definitions with 16,218 alternate Occupational Titles; the 1993 Canadian Classification and Dictionary of Occupations (CCDO93) contained 7,786 main Occupational Titles and Definitions, which were later swallowed up and replaced with 522 National Occupation Classification (NOC) Code Groups; the O*NET™ 1998 Model Crosswalk to the 1991 DOT contained 12,761 main Occupational Titles and Definitions with 16.234 alternate Occupational Titles Grouped within 1,172 Occupational Unit Classification (OUC) Transferable Skills (TS) Groups accompanied by 1,122 grouped means-data profiles of job requirements containing 483 mean-data elements each as opposed to a single-modal profile of job requirements for each specific Occupational Title; the 2000 McCroskey Dictionary of Occupational Titles (McDOT00, 5th Edition Updated and Extended DOT) which combined the 1991 US DOT single-modal profiles with the best of the O*NET™ 1998 Model means-data profiles through special data mining/data fusion techniques to produce an updated means-data profile of job requirements for each specific Occupational Title, contained 12,775 main Occupational Titles and Definitions with 16,253 alternate Occupational Titles; the 2001 McCroskey Dictionary of Occupational Titles (McDOT01, 5th Edition Revised DOT) added 199 new jobs and contained 12,974 main Occupational Titles and Definitions with 16,618 alternate Occupational Titles; and finally, the 2003 McCroskey Dictionary of Occupational Titles (McDOT03, 6th Edition Updated and Extended DOT) added 1 new job and all of the crosswalk codes updated in 2002, contained 12,975 main Occupational Titles and Definitions with 16,621 alternate Occupational Titles].

 

McCroskey (1982,1983, 1985, 1987, 1989 & 1990) and McCroskey & Lowe (1986, 1987) first described the 24 most vocationally significant traits-level worker traits (Critical Variables), which should be measured, or rated relative to job analysis scales contained in the Handbook for Analyzing Jobs-Revised (HAJR, USDOL 1991). In MVQS Evaluative Data profiling of people using the McCroskey Vocational Analysis Critical Variables approach, the 24 Worker traits-level Evaluative Data Profile should be developed using the McPLOT TestPlot Program. McPLOT combines selected Critical Variables element-level tests and ratings data for transfer to the McCroskey Transferable Skills Program for reliable and well validated Job-Person Matching, Employability Determination, and Earning Capacity Prediction Estimates. The 24 critical worker traits are operationally defined on behaviorally anchored job analysis scales either in the Handbook for Analyzing Jobs-Revised (USDOL 1972, 1976, 1991), or in the McCroskey 5th or 6th Edition Dictionaries of Occupational Titles – Extended Dataset Programs (McDOT; McCroskey, 2000, 2001, and 2003). The McDOT 5th Edition DOT Program data-mined, and combined through data-fusion, 177 Critical Variables from the HAJR91 and O*NET98 to create a means-based, updated US 5th Edition DOT. The McDOT 2003 6th Edition DOT Program added 200 new jobs (N=12,975), the concepts of Critical Variables and Corresponding Critical Values for Evaluative Data Profiling of Persons with Disabilities (with or without reasonable job accommodation) and 12,975 means-based job demand profiles. The standard 24 Most Vocationally Significant Critical Variables Worker Trait Factor traits-level Approach to MVQS Vocational Analysis, Job-Person Matching and Transferable Skills Analysis, and Pre/Post-Earning Capacity Analysis are.

A word about: HAJR & ONET Worker Traits, Elements, Critical Variables and Critivals (CV).

 

On the following pages are listed the 35 Critical Worker Traits and their Correlates. Only those Critical Variables, where Rxy=0.30, or higher, have an Initial (ICV) and Final critical value (CV) listed within the correlation matrices showing their correlation to the 24 Most-Vocationally-Significant MVQS Worker Traits.

 

In terms of Critical Variables Theory, these trait and element-level variables are considered the most important, vocationally significant, predictors of their respective Critical Worker Traits listed at the top in the column headers. The Initial Critical Values (ICV) and the Final Critical Values (CV) for each of the Critical Trait and Element-Level Predictor Variables are listed in the far right column of each correlation matrix.

 

While important in the overall scheme of things, the G, V, N, VQ, SVP, Zone, the six Occupational Values and 21Needs variables, have no identified Critical Values as their basal values were artificially inflated when jobs were last analyzed. They are therefore not listed in any of the correlation matrices.
