Abstract
Applicant's reactions and attitudes towards the recruitment process are important determinants of organizational success. Due to the increased number of internet-based job applications, organizations should not only use effective and reliable ways of assessment, but also attract the most talented individuals for the company. One modern and promising tool in the recruitment process is game-based assessment. It is a reliable way to filter out unqualified candidates and to increase applicant’s levels of motivation and enjoyment. Nevertheless, further research on this new selection test is needed. Thus, this paper examined whether organizational attractiveness would be positively influenced by perceived fairness of the recruitment process when game-based assessments and non-gamified assessments are used. Furthermore, the mediating effect of satisfaction derived from the recruitment process on the relationship between perceived fairness and organizational attractiveness was examined. An experimental design with participants randomly assigned to one of two groups examined participants (N=338) attitudes towards the gamified and traditional assessment. This paper found a significant effect of perceived fairness on organizational attractiveness in both conditions. Furthermore, process satisfaction significantly influenced organizational attractiveness and mediated the relationship between perceived fairness and organizational attractiveness. Nevertheless, the outcomes showed that the traditional assessment had a stronger effect compared to the game-based assessment. Keywords: Game-based assessment, gamification, organizational attractiveness, organizational justice framework, perceived fairness, process satisfaction
