Personality characteristics and behavioral requirements in science and practice -- Conception of a psychological requirements analysis -- Requirements profiles to support operational personnel work -- Consequences and repercussions for strategic personnel management.

Psychological requirement analyses with their requirement and qualification profiles show what will be important at work in the future! Both the selection of applicants and the training of personnel, as was the case, for example, in view of new strategic challenges in the financing business of a bank, should benefit from this information, which is to be collected in advance by means of a mix of methods, e.g., questionnaires and "expert interviews" on site. On the basis of selected personnel key figures from operational personnel work, it is necessary to check whether the current personnel strategy is "still on track". This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 1st edition essentials, Psychologische Anforderungsanalysen in Theorie und Praxis by Heribert Wienkamp, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
