Psychological Impact of Realistic Job Previews

摘要

Field experiments have consistently demonstrated that Realistic Job Previews (RJPs) reduce turnover among selected applicants. However, there is a continued reluctance to use such previews in selection. This manuscript considers possible reasons for the lack of use of RJPs, addresses the psychological impact of them, and advocates their increased use in the selection process. This report is second in a 1975-1976 series entitled 'Sources and Effects of Accurate Work Perceptions.' (Author)
