Abstract
This study aims to explore the influence of Game-based Assessment on participants reactions in recruiting. We are making use of the organizational justice framework and Signaling theory to understand how process satisfaction, perceived predictive validity and organizational attractiveness can be enhanced. We compared the results of the Game-based Assessment methods to Traditional Assessment methods. The participants, in total 338 employees, were either assigned to the digital version of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) or the gamified version, the Gamified Set Shifting Task (GSST). To test the hypotheses, we conducted a regression- and mediation analysis and tested whether scores of GSST are higher than the WCST scores. We found positive correlations of the variables. However, against our theoretical postulation, we found no mediation effect between the study variables. Furthermore, we have not found evidence for the higher scores in the GSST Group. Despite the absence of foundational findings supporting our hypotheses, the study highlights the importance and the need for further investigation of Game-based Assessment methods. Keywords: Game-based Assessment, process satisfaction, perceived predictive validity, and organizational attractiveness
