"Innovations in computerized assessment" have influenced organizations in terms of recruitment, selection, performance appraisal, and training processes. As a Help Desk Consultant with over six years of experience with computers and network administration, Ben-Roy is interested in the application of technology in the workplace. His primary research focuses on large-scale computerized assessments, personnel selection, psychometrics, and job performance and performance evaluation related topics.
Ben-Roy has conducted studies on
(1) computerized assessments (e.g., equivalence of proctored and unproctored Internet testing; two-step testing (unproctored screening - proctored confirmation), intralingual equivalence on unproctored cognitive tests),
(2) testing in personnel selection, especially test security issues such as cheating, coaching, and test compromise (e.g., item preknowledge on test performance; test administration modes on item memorization; individual differences in cheating ability and likelihood; using response time to detect item preknowledge),
(3) item response theory (IRT) applications on computerized adaptive testing (CAT) and multi-stage testing (MST) (e.g., range restriction on item parameter recovery; anchor item on item parameter recovery; two-step testing), and
(4) job performance and performance evaluation (e.g., citizenship and counterproductive behaviors, skills evaluation over time; decision making across life skills constructs).
His work was mentioned in the Science Watch by APA Monitor on Psychology (2005), and his research has been presented at professional conferences, such as Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) and National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME). |
