Effects of Job Previews on Self-Selection and Job Choice.

Saks, Alan M.; And Others

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v44 n3 p297-316 Jun 1994

Undergraduates (n=138) were placed in two groups: one received either Realistic Job Preview (RJP) or Traditional Job Preview (TJP); other group received both. Differences in job acceptance rates were found only in second, in which 71.4% picked TJP. Job previews affected self-selection, and expectancy theory was supported as model. Subjects with strong self-efficacy were more likely to choose RJP. (SK)
