Blake Jelley

I am especially interested in the nature, appraisal, prediction and improvement of human performance, especially performance at work. I am also interested in feedback processes, candidates' reactions to personnel selection procedures, management skills development, evidence-based management (EBMgt), and human resource management in small and medium-sized enterprises.
