Overview

Randomized trial examines AI's effects on justice perceptions and organizational attractiveness in recruitment, implying the need for careful implementation.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate how applicants perceive fairness in AI-driven hiring processes compared to human evaluators. It assesses the impact of decision-maker type and hiring stage on perceptions of justice.
  • 3 × 2 between-subjects experimental vignette design with N = 419 participants
  • Comparison of human evaluators and AI evaluators (with and without explanations) during resume screening and video interviews
  • Analysis of justice perceptions across procedural, interpersonal, and informational dimensions
  • Applicants perceived significantly lower levels of procedural, interpersonal, and informational justice with AI than with human evaluators.
  • Explanations of AI evaluation did not enhance justice perceptions, nor did the hiring stage influence these results.
  • Justice perceptions uniquely mediated the relationship between evaluation type and both organizational attractiveness and job-pursuit intentions.
