Abstract
Game-based assessments (GBAs) have gained popularity in selection procedures of organizations. It turns out that GBA elicit more positive reactions by candidates, than traditional assessment selection procedures. This in turn, is beneficial for the reputation of the recruiting company implementing GBA. Therefore, candidates’ reactions towards GBA are of high value for the recruiting company. A determinant of candidate’s reaction towards a selection procedure is perceived procedural justice. Accordingly, it is important to understand what influences perceived procedural justice. Therefore, this study tested three theories that make different propositions on what influences perceived procedural justice: The simple self-enhancement theory, the compensatory self-enhancement theory, and the self-verification theory. This study is a vignette study (N = 214). The results of a linear regression analysis showed a significant positive relationship between perceived performance and perceived procedural justice, and no significant relationship between perceived procedural justice with self-esteem, or with the interaction between perceived performance and self-esteem. This study therefore supports the simple self-enhancement theory.
