Abstract
NIKOLAOU, Ioannis and GEORGIOU, Konstantina. Fairness reactions to the employment interview. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.2, pp.103-111. Epub June 14, 2021. ISSN 2174-0534. https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/jwop2018a13.
The current research explores applicants’ reactions to the employment interview and how these are associated with core self-evaluations and proactivity along with perceptions of the interviewer and interview’s justice perceptions of post-interview outcomes (behavioral intentions, job attractiveness, and organizational attractiveness). We also explored the role of perceived organizational support (POS) in these relationships. We employ a cross-sectional approach, with the participation of 238 actual job applicants, using a survey methodology. We demonstrated the important role of core self-evaluations in fairness perceptions of the interview, along with the significant role of some interview characteristics, more importantly informativeness and personableness. Finally, applicants’ perceptions of the employer were also strongly associated with interview’s justice perceptions and post-interview outcomes. This is one of the first and very few studies exploring this topic in a non-English culture (in Greece), with actual job applicants, not students.
