Applicant decisions in the employment interview.

237 college students who had been interviewed for jobs at a university placement service completed a questionnaire concerning their reactions to an interviewer and their subsequent decisions. Factor analysis of their impressions of the interviewer yielded 6 factors. Factor scores were computed, and multiple regression analyses were used to relate these factor scores to applicant decisions. Perceived interviewer personality, manner of delivery, and adequacy of job information affected interviewee evaluations of the interviewer and his company and the interviewee's likelihood of job acceptance.
