    Este estudio extiende la investigación sobre los tests de juicio situacional (TJS) y la personalidad, usando un TJS para medir el esfuerzo hacia el logro de una manera contextualizada. Estudiantes con empleo respondieron el TJS de esfuerzo hacia el logro, escalas típicas de personalidad y medidas de desempeño en el trabajo. El TJS fue internamente consistente, los ítems cargaron en un único factor y las puntuaciones convergieron con otras medidas de esfuerzo hacia el logro. El TJS añadió validez relacionada con el criterio, para los criterios de desempeño, a la validez de las medidas menos contextualizadas de esfuerzo hacia el logro. Los hallazgos sugieren que escenarios de trabajo relacionados con el logro pueden proporcionar información adicional relevante para el criterio no capturada por medidas menos contextualizadas.

    The study extends personality and situational judgment test (SJT) research by using an SJT to measure achievement striving in a contextualized manner. Employed students responded to the achievement striving SJT, traditional personality scales, and workplace performance measures. The SJT was internally consistent, items loaded on a single factor, and scores converged with other measures of achievement striving. The SJT provided incremental criterion-related validity for the performance criteria beyond less-contextualized achievement striving measures. Findings suggest that achievement-related work scenarios may provide additional criterion-relevant information not captured by measures that are less contextualized.
