We provide a comprehensive but critical review of research on applicant reactions to selection procedures published since 2000 (n = 145) Table S1.

We present a targeted review of recent developments and advances in digital selection procedures (DSPs) with particular attention to advances in internet-based techniques. By reviewing the emergence of DSPs in selection research and practice, we highlight five main categories of methods (online applications, online psychometric testing, digital interviews, gamified assessment and social media). We discuss the evidence base for each of these DSP groups, focusing on construct and criterion validity, and applicant reactions to their use in organizations. Based on the findings of our review, we present a critique of the evidence base for DSPs in industrial, work and organizational psychology and set out an agenda for advancing research. We identify pressing gaps in our understanding of DSPs, and ten key questions to be answered. Given that DSPs are likely to depart further from traditional nondigital selection procedures in the future, a theme in this agenda is the need to establish a distinct and specific literature on DSPs, and to do so at a pace that reflects the speed of the underlying technological advancement. In concluding, we, therefore, issue a call to action for selection researchers in work and organizational psychology to commence a new and rigorous multidisciplinary programme of scientific study of DSPs.

This paper reports findings from a survey into applicant reactions of working adults in Saudi Arabia. A sample of 193 participants from four job functions was obtained, with measures of organizational attractiveness, core-self evaluation, and applicant reactions to four popular selection methods in the country – interviews, résumés, work sample tests, and references – being included. Findings indicate a notably similar pattern of preference reactions to previous studies in other (Western) countries, affirming arguments for so-called reaction generalizability. Work sample tests were rated the most favorably followed by interviews, résumés, and references. For specific procedural dimensions, résumés were perceived as the most favorable, followed by work sample tests, interviews, and references. Several significant differences were found across job functions, mostly for interviews and résumés. Significant effects were found between reactions and organizational attractiveness, and between reactions and core-self evaluation, including some interaction effects. Implications for future research and for practice in employee selection are considered in the conclusion

We are excited to bring you the second virtual annual meeting, the 81 st Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management in August 2021. Since 1937, the world has experienced critical advances and challenges while characterized by greater complexity and multiplicity. Now in the continued face of a global pandemic and calls to resolve inequality, we need scholars and practitioners who can navigate and make sense of these tensions by thinking in broad and integrative ways. Thus, as we prepare for our Annual Meeting in 2021, let us imaginatively and importantly use our capabilities and voices to examine how and why to bring the manager back in management. The Division and Committee Program and PDW Chairs are excited to develop an intellectually vibrant program for 2021 and invite you to submit your proposal to be part of that program. The submission website opens in early December 2020, but the Call for Submissions is available online or for download now through the submission deadline of Tuesday, 12 January 2021 at 17:00 ET (UTC/GMT-5). We recommend you submit early to give you time to identify and resolve any problems before the system closes to new submissions. If you wait until the last minute, you are more vulnerable to errors and any submission that is not finalized or does not follow all the guidelines will automatically NOT be reviewed. Conference registration opens toward the end of February 2021. Register early to attend to take advantage of reduced conference rates as you won't want to miss the Teaching and Learning Conference, the All-Academy Theme sessions on "Bringing the Manager Back in Management," theoryand method-oriented PDWs, paper presentations, innovative symposia,
