Abstract
Game-based assessments (GBA) are a novel assessment tool used to select suitable candidates for job positions. Prior research indicates that applicants’ reactions are important to determine how fair these novel selection procedures are perceived by applicants. This is important since using selection tools which are perceived as unfair by applicants can have negative outcomes for companies, such as decline in applications. This study examined how applicants’ reactions in terms of procedural fairness perceptions of GBAs are connected to technology self-efficacy (TSE). Further we examined how this relationship is possibly moderated by conscientiousness, as prior research suggests that conscientiousness positively influences applicants fairness perceptions. The sample comprised 90 participants who were recruited through Whatsapp and from the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB). In our study participants completed two GBAs as well as a survey, measuring their TSE, conscientiousness levels, and how fair they perceived the procedure. We conducted a multiple linear regression analysis, which indicated that there was no significant evidence for either of our hypotheses. A discussion of the results, limitations, along with implications and suggestions for future research is also presented. Keywords: technology self-efficacy, conscientiousness, game-based assessments, procedural justice
