Over a decade has passed since the development of Levashina and Campion's (2006) Model of Faking Likelihood in Employment Interviews. Although researchers have accumulated considerable knowledge about interview faking, this literature may benefit from a deeper understanding of certain areas such as the situational antecedents of this behavior. As such, we conducted nine focus groups with Canadian participants to explore this research question. An inductive thematic analysis of these focus group data yielded three organizing themes for the situational antecedents of interview faking behavior: Conditions of Need Within Specific Interviews, Scope for Elusion, and Induced External Pressures. Overall, these findings provide novel insights that will help researchers and practitioners to better understand and predict interview faking.
