THE EFFECTS OF USING OCULAR MOTOR METHODS FOR SCREENING ON JOB APPLICANTS DURING PRE EMPLOYMENT INTERVIEWS AT CORPORATE AGENCIES

Abstract

Investigation process plays a very crucial role not only in the criminal justice system, but also in various organizations to prevent the risk and harm and also to maintain the peace and order in the society and often it is shown that there are no such direct evidences present in the crime scene. Hence to investigate properly and accurately scientists are continuously trying to develop various Forensic Psychological investigative tools and techniques, which focus only on the psycho-physiological activities to detect deception, such as Polygraph, Narco Analysis, and Suspect Detection System etc. Nowadays there is an instrument which is very new in the Indian Environment, known as Eye Detect Technology, which measures very small and slight changes in our eye movements, especially pupil dilation. The technology is already an award winning technique with 90% accuracy level, but still it is unknown how reliable the instrument is in the Indian setup especially in the corporate sector as a screening tool. Hence it is needed to perform or to conduct the research on this instrument to check the reliability. Therefore this research will focus on the reliability and the applicability of eye detect instruments as ascreening tool in various corporate sectors to distinguish between truthful and deceptive applicants during Pre Employment screening. Hence for seeking the answer, first suitable samples were collected and then basic interviews wereconducted for knowing the background of each and every participant. At last the experiments were conducted in a controlled condition and also in a controlled manner. The main goal behind this experiment is to check whether it is reliable enough to detect deception in deceptive individuals or not and if it is reliable enough then what are the future applications of using this instrument in investigative as well asscreening purposes etc. Hence this research is trying to find its future applicability as a screening tool in corporate sectors because; in this generation employees are the biggest threat of their own organization and to prevent the risk it is important to introduce a new system which is reliable enough to detect deception.
