Core self‐evaluations (CSE) represent a new personality construct that, despite an accumulation of evidence regarding its predictive validity, provokes debate the fundamental approach or avoidance nature construct. This set studies sought to clarify approach/avoidance CSE by examining relation with traits and motivation constructs (Study 1); we subsequently examined motivational mechanisms as mediators between job performance 2). Overall, demonstrate that is best conceptualized representing...

The current research investigated whether employees' self-construals moderated the effects of supplementary fit and complementary on their work-related outcomes (i.e. affective commitment citizenship behavior). An organisational sample 317 Chinese employees provided evidence that relations between these two were stronger among with a higher interdependent self-construal. Conversely, independent Theoretical practical implications findings are discussed.

Implicit person theory (IPT) is characterised by the belief that specific attributes of people are generally either more static (i.e. entity beliefs) or malleable incremental beliefs). Within organisational sciences literature, past IPT research has focused on impact managers' beliefs their own behaviours. The current advances extant literature presenting two empirical studies assess whether subordinates formulate an impression manager's IPT. results consistent with forming such impression,...

The purpose of this paper is to provide new data regarding the current staffing practices being used by organizations in Canada and United States (US) as well a comparison with existing from Germany (Diekmann & König, 2015). Data beliefs human resource (HR) practitioners terms using personality tests personnel selection also provided. A geographically representative sample 453 HR across US were surveyed. Although general mental ability testing has previously been found be highly valid...

Abstract. After nearly two decades of awareness on the research–practice gap in human resource management, this study updates and expands seminal findings Rynes et al. (2002) specific to personnel selection. In a sample 453 (HR) practitioners US Canada, we found that persists. Notably, compared 2002 findings, HR tended be worse at identifying selection myths than was shown by over 15 years ago, while those who reported not conducting validity studies were surprisingly better several as...

The effects of different response option orders on survey responses have been studied extensively. typical research design involves examining the differences in characteristics between conditions with same item stems and that differ valence—either incrementally arranged (e.g., strongly disagree to agree) or decrementally agree disagree). present study added two additional experimental conditions—randomly incremental decremental completely randomized. All items were presented an item-by-item...

This meta-analysis examined the validity of an alternative to traditional assessments called Wonderlic which is a brief measure general mental ability. Our results showed significant, positive correlations between scores and academic performance in ( r̅ = .26), undergraduate GPA particular .27, ρ¯ .33), retention =.09, .12). We also identified several significant moderators relationship relevant outcomes (e.g., test publisher reported coefficients were larger than those by other sources)....

The resume remains a common selection method used by organizations; however, much of the research literature is dated and there lack an organizing framework regarding future resume-related research. Thus, purpose current paper to provide: (1) synthesis historical empirical through lens advice that has accumulated date; (2) containing questions need be investigated in order continue moving forward. will use job applicants, business communication instructors, researchers.

Abstract The present study is an updated survey examining individual assessor beliefs and practices related to faking in the assessment context. responses from a mix of quantitative qualitative questions were compared across assessors original 2005 sample ( n = 77) 2020 78). Results suggest that single stimulus personality assessments are still predominant form use, but many employ other types such as forced‐choice. In 2020, do not appear be heavily concerned about effects on their...

The focus of this Perspective article is on the comparison two most popular initial applicant screening methods: Resumes and application forms. viewpoint offered that forms are superior to resumes during stage selection. This supported in part based criterion-related validity evidence favors over resumes. For example, biographical data (biodata) inventory, which can contain similar questions those used forms, one valid predictors job performance (if empirically keyed), whereas experience...

Organisation personality perceptions, or the attribution of human characteristics to an organisation, have been found affect organisational attraction, job pursuit intentions, and reputation. Although presence potency these attributions established, little is known about manner in which come about, particularly whether process consistent with made targets. In current paper, we extend previous work by investigating underlying social-cognitive mechanism organisation perceptions are formed....

Globalization has led to increased migration and labor mobility over the past several decades immigrants generally seek jobs in their new countries. Tests of general mental ability (GMA) are common personnel selection systems throughout world. Unfortunately, GMA test scores often display differences between majority groups ethnic subgroups that may represent a barrier employment for immigrants. The purpose this study was examine based on immigrant status 29 countries (or jurisdictions...
