From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Management Position Description Questionnaire (MPDQ) is a questionnaire used in human resource management for the purpose of analysing management positions. It allows HR departments to establish training requirements, salary bands and job groupings for new posts.[1] It has 208 items grouped in 13 categories.[2][3] These categories also include 197 performance elements.[4][5] Due to its narrative format, the MPDQ generally requires some degree of training before it can be properly used.[6] The questionnaire was created by Walter W. Tornow and Patrick R. Pinto in 1976.[7][8]
