Opportunistic hiring and employee fit
研究了在职位尚未存在时就招聘员工的机会主义招聘现象，分析了其背后的原因、过程及对员工与组织匹配的影响，并基于探索性研究案例提出了一个分类框架。
Most research on selection processes and organizational fit deals with existing, unfilled positions where expectations and tasks are known and measurable. This article instead evaluates the reasons, processes, and implications of opportunistic hiring—hiring employees before their jobs exist. Examples from an exploratory study show how “fit” factors into selection decisions. A typology is offered along the dimensions of whether opportunistic hiring is used to meet immediate or anticipated needs and the extent to which these needs are articulated prior to selection. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
