Abstract Details

2024, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Bowling Green State University, Psychology/Industrial-Organizational.
This study examines how likely interviewers are to choose each of three question types (i.e., traditional, behavioral, brainteaser) based on their goal for the interview (i.e., assess competence of the applicant, assess applicant’s fit, asses the applicant’s tolerance for stress, recruit the applicant to the organization). Participants were randomly assigned to one of four conditions in an online experiment where they imagined they were creating an interview question bank based on an assigned interviewing goal (i.e., assessing competence, assessing fit, assessing stress tolerance, recruiting to the organization). Participants also created a 10-item interview based on their assigned goal using the same provided questions. Results were only partially consistent with hypotheses. Behavioral questions were chosen significantly more frequently by those assigned either a goal for assessing competence or for assessing stress tolerance. Traditional questions were chosen significantly more frequently by those assigned either a goal for recruiting to the organization or for assessing fit. Brainteaser questions were chosen significantly more frequently by those assigned the goal for assessing stress tolerance.
