The Effects of P-O Ethical Fit, Expected Pay and Corporate Image on Job Choice Decision

Year 2019, Volume: 7 Issue: 1, 106 - 123, 31.05.2019

Abstract

Our research extends the current
recruiting relevant studies by identifying how intrinsic (person-organization
ethical fit, P-O ethical fit) and extrinsic factors (pay level and perceived
corporate image) influence job choice decision solely and interactively. A 2×2
between-subjects experimental design was conducted with 210 graduating students
in Taiwan, and written scenarios were used to simulate a job choice
setting.  These scenario cases are
related to hotels which focus on environmentally relative corporate social
responsibility (CSR) activities.  The
results show a significant difference in job offer acceptance rates among job
seekers with diverse P-O ethical fit and the effect of P-O ethical fit on
perceived corporate image was partially supported.  The following discussion and suggestion will
be made to provide ideas for recruiting management and it will also contribute
to academic research.
