I don't know of any studies of long-term job performance though I wouldn't be
surprised if there
were some out there. As you might imagine measuring job performance is a tricky
business.
What you can measure well is almost always a relatively narrow measure of only some
part of the job while the best you can do for total job performance is something vague
and
unreliable like supervisor assessments. I imagine that some of the studies that use
supervisor
assessments might involve impressions formed over long periods of time, but I've been
mainly
interested in the more objective measures since I got into this literature to
understand the relative efficacy of IQ tests for predicting the performance of blacks
and whites.
One of these days I _will_ write up something on my views on The Bell Curve which is
no small task because they are relatively highly nuanced.
