Abstract

Recruiting suitable talent has become increasingly difficult - including the recruitment of university graduates, members of the so-called millennial generation. Consequently, organizations are looking for ways to increase their organizational attractiveness. Many German companies are currently striving to implement the concept of new work with autonomy, meaningfulness, and self-actualization as its core attributes. While this concept has already drawn a lot of attention in the practitioner field, there is still a lack of controlled research on how these efforts affect organizational attractiveness for job seekers. This paper thus empirically investigates how millennials’ perception of organizational attractiveness is affected by the implementation of new work attributes in job advertisements. 214 business students participated in this experimental, randomized, preregistered two-group between-subjects design study. The results support the hypotheses that new work attributes in job advertisements significantly improve millennials’ appraisal of the perceived organizational attractiveness measured by perceived general attractiveness, intention to pursue and prestige of the organization. As expected, the effect was mediated by perceived person-organization fit. The study’s contribution lies in providing first empirical evidence for the positive effects of new work attributes on perceived organizational attractiveness.
招聘广告中新工作属性对感知组织吸引力的影响
招聘合适的人才变得越来越困难——包括招聘大学毕业生,即所谓的千禧一代。因此,组织正在寻找增加其组织吸引力的方法。许多德国公司目前正在努力实施以自主性、意义性和自我实现为核心属性的新工作概念。虽然这一概念已经在从业者领域引起了很多关注,但对于这些努力如何影响求职者对组织的吸引力,仍然缺乏对照研究。因此,本文实证研究了千禧一代对组织吸引力的感知如何受到招聘广告中新工作属性的影响。214名商科学生参加了这项随机、预登记的两组实验设计研究。研究结果支持了以下假设:招聘广告中的新工作属性显著提高了千禧一代对感知组织吸引力的评价(通过感知总体吸引力、追求意愿和组织声誉来衡量)。正如预期的那样,这种效应被感知的个人-组织契合度所中介。本研究的贡献在于为新工作属性对感知组织吸引力的积极影响提供了第一个经验证据。
