Nancy,

In terms of published literature, the two classic articles are the Roth et
al. (2005) Personnel Psychology article and then the Levine et al. (1997)
Personnel Psychology article. You may even have been at Akron at the time,
but Barrett and Associates developed a pretty extensive procedure for
developing minimum qualifications for the State of Ohio, not sure if
anything was ever published. I also think a good source is George Alliger's
work on Mission Critical Essential Competencies for the military.
