Effects of attribute set size and pay ambiguity on reactions to 'Help wanted' advertisements

Article Abstract:

Research conducted on the behavior of job-seekers towards employment advertisements shows that many positively responded to advertisements with high information content, but that the rate of positive response decreases with each extraneous information supplied in the advertisement. Job seekers were also found to respond negatively in advertisements with high pay ambiguity. The information was found to be the decisive factor in the judgment of a job advertisement that has minimal information.

The impact of self-appraisals on reactions to feedback from others: the role of self-enhancement and self-consistency concerns

Article Abstract:

A study was made on the usefulness of self-appraisal (SA) as a technique to enhance the motivational and developmental impact of feedback from others. The study presumed that individuals would agree with and incorporate feedback that is consistent with their SA and that they would be more satisfied and improve their performance if feedback is better than their SA. Future research is recommended on the mechanisms underlying the interactive effects of SA and feedback.
