Abstract
The influence of technology in recruitment and selection plays an important role in applicant reactions. As losing top candidates can be costly, maintaining a positive company image is important. This makes it necessary to identify the best methods for drawing in and assessing the most qualified candidates. Additionally, researchers recognize that selection from the applicant’s perspective brings interesting variables to examine. Since applicants also select the organizations they apply to and where they are willing to work. Thus, if the selection is deemed unfavorable by the applicant, they might be less likely to accept a job from the organization. In the current study we investigated to what extent applicants perceived procedural justice influences their perceived organizational attractiveness when a game-based assessment (GBA) is used and to what extent this relationship is mediated by perceived opportunity to perform. Based on earlier findings in the literature, I propose that procedural justice has a positive effect on organizational attractiveness and that this effect is mediated by opportunity to perform. We conducted a cross-sectional study (N=103), where we examined applicant attitudes and reactions through a questionnaire after they took part in a GBA. Results showed that procedural justice is a significant predictor of organizational attractiveness in GBA, partially mediated by opportunity to perform. I conclude that an increase in organizational attractiveness, when a high procedural justice was experienced during GBA, also partially via an experience of high opportunity to perform. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
