The Lingering Effects of the Recruitment Experience on the Long-Term Employment Relationship

Abstract

Two studies (one cross-sectional and one longitudinal) examine the effects that job negotiation interactional justice perceptions created in the recruitment process have on an employee’s turnover intentions. The findings indicate a long-term impact of the interactional justice perceptions experienced in the recruitment negotiation on employees’ intent to leave their organization. Specifically, job negotiation interactional justice perceptions have a lingering effect on an individual’s turnover intentions beyond the effects of distributive justice and supportive human resource practices.
