JOB SEARCH; RECRUITMENT; VOCATIONAL INTEREST

Question 1

Nye, Su, Rounds, & Drasgow (2012)

Answer 1

interest constructs should be related to performance and persistence in work and academic settings.
- correlations between congruence indices and performance were stronger than for interest scores alone. Thus, consistent with interest theory, the fit between individuals and their environment was more predictive of performance than interest alone.

Question 2

Swider, Zimmerman, & Barrick, 2015 (JAP)

Answer 2

examines how applicants develop these fit perceptions over the duration of the recruitment process, showing meaningful changes in fit perceptions across and within organizations overtime

• Results showed the presence of initial levels and changes in differentiation of applicant PO fit perceptions across organizations, which significantly predicted future job choice.
• changes in within organizational PO fit perceptions across two stages of recruitment predicted applicant job choices among multiple employers
