Case Study: How We Used the Skillsy Survey to Predict Employee Behavior

The aim of the research was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Skillsy Behavioral Patterns Predictive System research evaluation methodology in comparison with established evaluation standards, such as assessment centers and 360-degree feedback, for identifying value motives and leading behavioral features in healthy adults.

The study involved 120 people, aged from 28 to 51 years old, employees of a large company. The observation period was 56 weeks.

Participants were asked to complete the LEA (Leaders Empowering Assessment) questionnaire at the employment stage or early adaptation in the company. Identified behavioral characteristics and value motives were documented and reported to the manager.

After 6 months, all participants underwent assessment centers where managers were asked to record the behavioral models and value motives identified in the participants.

After 8 months, a 360-degree feedback assessment was scheduled for all participants, during which leading behavioral models and value motives were also recorded.

An analysis and comparison of the results obtained from the Leaders Empowering Assessment and corporate evaluation methods (360-degree feedback and assessment centers) were then carried out.

The research found that for such key behavioral characteristics as "Informal Leadership," "Proactivity," "Low Level of Personal Responsibility," "High Level of Personal Responsibility," "Adaptability," "Desire for Control," "Adherence to Rules," the effectiveness of the LEA (Leaders Empowering Assessment) method showed no statistically significant differences and is comparable with standardized corporate evaluation methods (Student's t-test, P<0.05).

Thus, it can be asserted that the LEA (Leaders Empowering Assessment) has predictive effectiveness in assessing the behavioral features of individuals.
