Abstract
Applicant Perceptions of game-based assessments (GBA) in selection procedures are examined to validate and enhance their usage in favour of applicants and organisational goals. We used the organisational justice framework to investigate the factors contributing to the fair usage of methods in applicant procedures (Gilliland, 1993). Current research using this framework focuses on traditional assessment methods; thus, more research is needed to apply this to GBAs. Particularly, what contributes to the perceived fairness of GBAs, its relationship to organisational attractiveness, and the interplay of educational background on this relationship is examined. Participants were asked to read a fictional job posting and play a GBA created by Equalture (2023). The researchers assessed participant ratings of the perceived chance to perform, perceived propriety of the task, perceived fairness, and organisational attractiveness. Perceived chance to perform and the task's perceived propriety were significant predictors of perceived fairness. Additionally, perceived fairness was a significant predictor of organisational attractiveness. The educational background did not significantly impact the relationship between perceived fairness and organisational attractiveness. Research adaptions would contribute to a better understanding of the perceptions of GBAs and potential moderating effects. Nevertheless, our results suggest consistency between the understanding of traditional assessment methods according to the organisational justice framework and perceptions of GBAs. It is demonstrated that the implementation of GBAs is in favour of applicant attitudes. Keywords: Game-Based Assessments, Selection Procedures, Organisational Attractiveness, Perceived Fairness, Organisational Justice Framework
