Description
The present study examines the extent to which interview communication satisfaction predicts applicants' attraction to vacancies and their intent to pursue employment. A pre-postinterview research design conducted at a university placement center showed that interview communication satisfaction significantly predicted applicants'postinterview attraction to vacancies, whereas preinterview attraction to vacancies did not predict applicants' interview communication satisfaction. It was also found that applicants'employment intentions were significantly influenced by the extent to which they were satisfied with the communication during interviews. The discussion section presents research and practical applications of the study.
