Behavioral research sometimes aimed in making predictions of relevant behavior. The prediction requires the use of two types of variable, the criterion which is being predicted and also called as the dependent variable; and the predictor one used in predicting the criterion and also called as the independent or controlled variable.
There are types of measurement of variables. First are the nominal scale, ordinal scale, interval scale, and the ratio scale. We need to know the behavioral research because there are questions need to be answered.
Job-related behavior has two primary purposes. First, psychological research in industrial psychology depends on the measurement of various aspects of behavior in the working environment. Second, certain personnel management functions require the measurement in quantitative terms of work-related behavior, such as job performance.
