Contextual performance: Soldier effectiveness
Borman and Motowidlo (1993) in their classic paper adding contextual performance as a criteria for job selection mention, Project A, which was an initiative undertaken by the U.S. Army (Campbell, 1990). It was intended to improve both selection and placement for all U.S. Army entry level jobs. A key challenge was developing a conceptual model of soldier effectiveness, which would be relevant for all jobs and went beyond performing the duties assigned to the job. The sought-after elements were assumed to be tied closely to the constructs of organizational commitment, organizational socialization and morale. Borman, W.C. and Motowidlo, S.J.
