Judgment at Work Survey for Customer Service

The Judgment at Work Survey for Customer Service is a tool to screen job applicants. The survey contains several situational judgment items. Each item describes a situation that one might encounter at work in a customer service job. Each situation is followed by several possible actions and the applicant is asked to evaluate the effectiveness of each action.  Employers seeking to determine the usefulness of the survey for a specific job may review the item content to determine the appropriateness of the survey for the job. Employers may also consider the reliability and validity evidence presented in the technical documentation.
