Abstract

Fair recruitment matters, as it affects employees, managers and the organization. The phenomenon of athletic-participation-preference (APP) concerns both scholars and managers, affecting the policy and implementation of fair recruitment. Drawing on the stereotype theories, the current research clarifies the formation and implications of APP in recruitment, along with three unique findings. Firstly, the influence of athletic participation in recruitment is not universal, as recruiters may possess different views. Secondly, the influence of athletic participation in recruitment is not consistent. APP does not boost wage, and the APP is perceived differently between age groups. Finally, team-spirit and goal-orientation are not relevant to APP, as both values exist in both sport and non-sport fields. Research findings have implied that recruiting education and trainings, ethics workshops, and recruiting experiences are crucial to the fair recruitment, alleviating the impact of athletic-participation-preference in recruitment. Suggestions for future studies and fair recruiting practices are also discussed.

参加体育运动带来更多的就业机会，对还是错?

公平招聘很重要，因为它会影响员工、经理和组织。体育参与偏好(APP)现象是学者和管理者共同关注的问题，影响着公平招聘的政策和实施。在刻板印象理论的基础上，本研究明确了APP在招聘中的形成及其影响，并获得了三个独特的发现。首先，体育参与对招聘的影响不是普遍的，因为招聘人员可能有不同的看法。其次，体育参与对招聘的影响不一致。APP不会提高工资，不同年龄层对APP的认知也不同。最后，团队精神和目标导向与APP无关，因为这两种价值观在体育和非体育领域都存在。研究结果表明，招聘教育与培训、道德研讨会和招聘经验对公平招聘至关重要，减轻了运动员参与偏好对招聘的影响。本文还对今后的研究和公平招聘提出了建议。
