Fairness reactions to personnel selection techniques in Greece: The role of core self-evaluations

The current study examines fairness reactions to personnel selection methods and the role of core self-evaluations (CSE) in Greece using two samples of employees (N=158) and students (N=181). Interviews, resumes, and work samples were the best-rated and most favourably appraised methods across students and employees. Students demonstrated more positive attitudes towards psychometric (i.e., ability, personality, honesty) tests than did employees. As far as the procedural dimensions are concerned, similarly to previous studies, face validity and opportunity to perform were the strongest correlates of considering personnel selection methods favourably. Overall, the relationship between fairness reactions and CSE was weak. Our findings are compared with the results from studies of other countries using similar methodologies.
