There are six classes of criteria that need to be considered in measuring the job-related behavior. The following are:
- Performance Criteria - this is concern in the job performance that has two dimension: Quantity dimension, based on the number of "units" produced; Quality dimension which is difficult to measure because of the human error that is typical to happen.
- Job Attendance Criteria - this is measured in three aspects, job tenure (how long people remain on their jobs), absenteeism, and tardiness.
- Accident and Injury Criteria - it is used if it is concerned with matters of safety.
- Physiological Criteria - used in studying the effects of environmental variables, physical work load, work periods, methods of work, and so forth.
- Status Criteria - refers to individual's occupation, education, or position.
- Subjective Criteria - examples of this are the opinions obtained by questionnaires, attitudes, and ratings of jobs.
In selecting criteria, three considerations must be taken, the relevance (objectives for which measures are derived), the freedom from contamination (individual differences), and reliability (stability or consistency). There are certain problems in obtaining criterion, one of these is keeping it confidential.
Criterion Dimensions can be multiple, but it must be used independently and should not be combined.
