ABSTRACT

Considered as one of the cornerstones of work and organizational psychology, it is not surprising that the selection and recruitment literature is vast. In this review, we synthesize and integrate the findings from around 40 meta-analyses and literature reviews from the last decade to identify the most recent meta-trends and future research directions in the selection and recruitment research and practice. We organize our key findings around three superordinate areas: a) recent developments in selection research, covering findings on validities of selection methods, expanding the criterion space, and applicant reactions and impression management; b) recent developments in recruitment research, paying attention to the evidence around recruitment methods and applicant attraction; and c) new technology in recruitment and selection. In our call for future research, we delineate a number of substantive issues and the need for more sophisticated theoretical developments in the field as well as methodological challenges that future efforts should address. We concur with the vast literature in that selection and recruitment research is a vibrant field, which we expect will address a number of ongoing political, cultural, technological, societal, and employment regulations-related issues to keep creating impact and providing meaningful findings for recruitment and selection practices in organizations.

摘要

被认为是工作和组织心理学的基石之一，选择和招聘文献如此之多也就不足为奇了。在这篇综述中，我们综合和整合了过去十年来大约40项荟萃分析和文献综述中的发现，以确定在选择和招聘研究与实践中最新的荟萃趋势和未来的研究方向。我们围绕三个上级领域组织主要发现：a）选择研究的最新进展，涵盖关于选择方法有效性，扩展标准空间以及申请人反应和印象管理的发现；b）招聘研究的最新发展，注意有关招聘方法和申请人吸引力的证据；c）招聘和选拔方面的新技术。在我们对未来研究的呼吁中，我们描述了许多实质性问题，以及对该领域更复杂的理论发展的需求以及未来工作应解决的方法挑战。我们同意大量文献，因为甄选和招聘研究是一个充满活力的领域，我们希望它将解决与政治，文化，技术，社会和就业法规相关的许多持续问题，以不断产生影响并为招聘提供有意义的发现组织中的选择和选择实践。
