Kişisel beğeni yanlılığının görüşmeci değerleri, kişilik özellikleri ve bilişsel tarzı ile ilişkisi üzerine deneysel bir çalışma

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship of personal liking bias with values, personality characteristics and cognitive style of the interviewers in employee selection decisions. In the present study, personal liking bias was defined as the bias that the interviewer is subject to in such a way that the final selection decision of the interviewer is made predominantly based on the personal liking/disliking of the interviewer towards the applicant rather than the technical competencies of the candidate and his potential performance. An experimental method was used and 176 undergraduate students from different departments taking psychology and sociology classes at Koç University were used as the sample. Results showed partial associations between personal liking bias and low performance-orientation, high collectivism, high extraversion, low rational thinking style. The current study attempts to inform the decision-makers in organizations about the characteristics of the interviewers who have the potential to make biased selection decisions and to contribute to the human resources management literature of decision-making based on technical vs. interpersonal competencies.Keywords: Personal liking bias, decision-making based on technical vs. interpersonal competencies, interviewer personality, interviewer values.
