SYMPOSIUM ABSTRACT

Facing a complex and ever-changing business environment, organizations have increasingly realized the urgency to ensure business sustainability and enhance its adaptability by identifying and developing the right talents.

Organizations attempt to apply various psychological assessment tools to assess and develop talents locally and globally. However, there lacks concerted efforts to evaluate the impact of culture on different assessment approaches.

This symposium presents several practitioners and researchers who have extensively worked on this issue in the Asia Pacific region, Africa, Europe, and the United States.

Issues involving the constructs, measurements (and their cross-cultural equivalence), and validities will be addressed. Additionally, implications for executive assessment and development in diverse cultures will be discussed. This symposium should be of great interest to anyone attempting to deploy executive assessment and development approaches in the different cultural contexts.
