Preferred term

statistical power  

Definition

  • Statistical power (SP) refers to the probability of rejecting a null hypothesis (a hypothesis of no difference) when it is actually false. When an organizational researcher retains (fails to reject) a false null hypothesis, he or she is likely to conclude, for example, that the organizational intervention did not positively affect productivity or that a selection test does not validly predict future job performance. [Source: Encyclopedia of Industrial and Organizational Psychology; Statistical Power]
