As a follow-up analysis, the criteria were regressed on the six dimensions, yielding R = .45, meaning that approximately 20 percent of the criterion variance was explained by the AC dimensions. ln this regression analysis, however, neither drive nor consideration/awareness of others was statistically significant, so the 20 percent of variance explained is due to the other four dimensions only. This is a larger R2 than the result obtained by Gaugler et al. (1987) for overall AC scores (i.e., R2 = .14). In addition, when considered alone, problem solving explained 15 percent of variance in the criterion, with smaller incremental contributions made by influencing others (3 percent), organization and planning (1 percent), and communication (1 percent). These results are encouraging on two fronts. First, they confirm the validity of ACs. Second, given the redundancy found among dimensions, the number of dimensions assessed in ACs could probably bereduced substantially (from the average of approximately 10 reported by Woehr and Arthur, 2003) without a substantial loss in overall validity.
