Computer Assisted Staff Conflict Diagnos

Staff selection has been historically done intuitively by the person in charge, looking mainly to technical and professional aspects. In the past years there has been an important trend to assist the selection process by a psychologist that evaluates capability aspects and skills like creativity, motivation, leadership and intelligence. These aspects, however, do not guarantee that the applicant will accomplish both efficiently and effectively with the assigned job. One of the reasons of staff selection failure is when poor integration between the team and the new member occurs. Studies show that teams that care first about cohesion and then task are more successful than those that are only task oriented. [Wolfe & Box 1988, Yantis & Nixon 1982, Keller 1986]
