Toward an integrated model of applicant reactions and job choice
本研究通过纵向实地调查588名加拿大求职者，整合程序公正、信号和期望三种机制，并控制薪酬、地点和市场性，发现信号和期望机制对求职者意图和工作选择有显著影响，尤其对拥有多个机会和面试前了解较少的求职者影响更强。
Previous research on applicant reactions to selection procedures has mainly emphasized the importance of procedural justice. However, much of this work has not examined other applicant reaction mechanisms (such as signals and expectancy) or additional variables known to influence job choice (e.g. pay, location and marketability). In contrast, this longitudinal field study took these other mechanisms and variables into account through the examination of the job choice processes of 588 applicants located in Canada to 215 organizations. Structural equation modelling was used to test an integrated model combining the three mechanisms of procedural justice, signals and expectancy, controlling for pay, location, and marketability. Support was found for signal and expectancy mechanisms influencing applicant intentions and job choice, and these effects were stronger for applicants with multiple opportunities and less pre-interview knowledge of the organization.
