Psychological and Contextual Influences on the Teacher Selection Interview: A Model for Future Research

Effects of “Like Type” Sex Pairings between Applicants–Principals and Type of Focal Position Considered at the Screening Stage of the Selection Process

“…As suggested by other investigators (Arvey & Faley, 1992;Delli & Vera, 2004) for interpreting decision making within the selection context from a theoretical perspective, a particular person perception theory is used to interpret the decision making of high school principals in this study. Existing research has examined largely the decision making of high school principals at the screening stage of the selection process only from a main effect perspective.…”

“…Theory Based Studies To capture the screening decisions of organizational representative within the selection process, several researchers suggested (Arvey & Faley, 1992;Delli & Vera, 2004) that investigators use a person perception theory to explain screening decisions of organizational representatives. According to these investigators, a broader understanding of the decision making process can be obtained within the literature through a theoretical grounding on which to understand outcomes of the selection process beyond mere statistical effects.…”

“…From a theory based perspective, this study, like other studies (Young et al, 1997;Young & Fox, 2002) relies on a particular psychological/sociological theory to capture the decision making of principals at the screening stage of the selection process as recommended in the current literature (Arvey & Faley, 1992;Delli & Vera, 2004). Unlike other studies that have used theories that viewed screening from a singular perspective involving only age of candidates (Botwinick, 1978) or social distance of applicants from the decision maker (Bogardus, 1967), this study takes an interactional approach involving characteristics of applicants as well as characterizes of the principals.…”

“…At the screening stage of the selection process, decisions are made on the basis of paper credentials submitted by applicants (Delli & Vera, 2004). In contrast, at the interviewing stage, decisions are made on the basis of interpersonal interactions in an interview setting (Dipboye, 1992).…”

Structuring fuzzy integrated multi-stages evaluation model on academic personnel recruitment in MET institutions

“…Furthermore, Vinkler (1995) discussed the some aspects of the evaluation towards scientific performances. Delli and Vera (2003) investigated the effects of psychological variables (i.e. similarity and attraction, likeability, perceived expertness) to the teacher selection interview.…”
