PART A: PERSONNEL PSYCHOLOGY Generally, South
African labour laws prohibit unfair discrimination. The Labour
Relations Act 66 of 1995 (as amended) and the Employment
Equity Act 55 of 1998 (as amended) are explicit on issues of
unfair discrimination. Despite this regulatory framework,
debates around the issues of fairness remain intense. Fairness in
personnel psychology must be demonstrated, using scientific
methods. Discuss fairness in employment decisions by focusing
on the following: 1.1. The difference between unfair
discrimination and adverse impact. (2) 1.2. Discuss the
complexity of fairness in employment decisions by referring to
Figures 8.1; 8.3; 8.4; 8.5; 8.6; 8.7 and 8.8 in Cascio and Aguinis
(2019, p. 181-184). In your discussion, refer to each scatterplot
and illustrate a differential predictor-criterion relationship which
is legal and appropriate, or which is inappropriate and may have
adverse impact. (28) [30] Total Section A: 30 Marks
