Abstract

This paper reports on the results of two studies on the use of a structured behavioural interview (SBI) in panel format for promoting managers in the Public Administration of the Basque Country (Spain). The first study presents the psychometric properties (inter-rater reliability and criterion validity) of the SBI. The second study shows the fairness reactions of applicants, interviewers and supervisors to the use of the SBI. The results support the use of this assessment tool for personnel decision-making in public administration.
