Recruiting & Psychological Testing - Can It Help Prevent or Reduce Workplace Violence?
In light of all the workplace violence in the workplace would it make sense or is it legal to include psychological testing on potential employees to root out any that might have tendencies for violence at the workplace? Would it be legal to do psychological tests on potential employees as part of a background check, such as credit, criminal, education, drug testing?
In addition to answering the questions above, please include links to peer-reviewed journals or other APA approved sources so that I can do further research, thanks.
