Abstract

A quasi-experimental design was used to compare the effectiveness of preemployment integrity tests at six supermarket chains. Two of the supermarket chains had used some type of overt integrity test and four had not. Responses to an anonymous survey of 234 employees at these six chains were analyzed. Respondents from the chains that did not use preemployment integrity tests perceived significantly higher dollar amounts of employee theft than did respondents for the test-using companies. Implications for the usefulness of preemployment integrity tests are discussed.
