Applicant attraction to new ventures: The combined effects of entrepreneurs’ physical attractiveness and gender

ABSTRACT We investigate the combined effects of entrepreneurs’ physical attractiveness and gender on applicant attraction to new ventures. Relying on stereotype-based theories and using unique primary data, we confirm that physical attractiveness and gender biases exist: Job seekers evaluate the new ventures presented by either physically attractive or male entrepreneurs as more attractive prospective employers. Moreover, physically attractive male entrepreneurs are best positioned to attract applicants. Interestingly, the strength of these biases varies depending on job seekers’ gender. A severe gender bias exists among male job seekers, while this bias is very weak among female job seekers. Conversely, the physical attractiveness bias is ubiquitous but stronger among female job seekers. We advance research at the intersection of human resource management and entrepreneurship by complementing prior studies on the drivers of applicant attraction to new ventures and suggesting that stereotypes play a critical role in the early stage of the recruitment process.

How "Well" are We DEI-ing? Applying Technical and Professional Communication Theory and Disability Justice to Challenge Intersectional Ableism in Job Advertisements Through Coalitional Recruitment

Purpose:This article integrates an ableism studies framework with disability justice principles to interrogate how medical insurance job advertisements may circulate ableist assumptions that impede corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals and social justice efforts. Method: I use critical discourse analysis and thematic coding to analyze how normative ableist assumptions present in job advertisements and DEI documents may exclude prospective employees with disabilities as well as multiply marginalized identities such as Black women. Results: Through my analysis, I demonstrate how normalizing assumptions related to productivity, rationality, independence, and corporate assimilation may contribute to the exclusion of multiply marginalized employees. Conclusion: I ultimately provide data-driven insights regarding what I refer to ascoalitional recruitment to help practitioners construct more equitable job advertisements attuned to disability justice.

Predisposed, Exposed, or Both? How Prosocial Motivation and CSR Education Are Related to Prospective Employees’ Desire for Social Impact in Work

Researchers have explored important questions about employees’ prosocial motivation to impact others through their work and about employees’ engagement in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Studies show that job seekers are attracted to CSR-engaged employers, but little is known about whether and why prospective employees are attracted by job roles that allow them to have positive social impact. We used prosocial motivation theory to develop hypotheses about processes through which a greater desire for social impact in work is associated with being predisposed to it (due to trait-like prosocial motivation), being exposed to the possibility of it (through CSR-related educational choices), and both in partially mediated sequence. Analyses of data from 187 prospective employees provided support for most hypotheses. Our findings inform new directions for research on CSR and recruitment, the CSR education literature, and recruitment practices that leverage prospective employees’ desire for social impact through performing their regular work.

Financial Self-Efficacy, Retirement Goal Clarity, and Preretirement Anxiety Among Nurses in Southeast Nigeria: The Mediating Role of Job Embeddedness.

It has been evidenced that retirement transitions are accompanied by preretirement anxiety about transitioning from a work-oriented lifestyle to retirement. Most employees do not proactively address these concerns during this transitional period. Thus, identifying the factors inherent in preretirement anxiety is imperative for a positive retirement transition. This study explored the role of financial self-efficacy and preretirement goal clarity on preretirement anxiety and the mediating role of job embeddedness in such relationships among prospective retiree nurses in Sub-Saharan Africa. This cross-sectional study used self-report measures of the Pre-retirement Anxiety Scale, Financial Self-Efficacy Scale, Retirement Goal Clarity Scale, and Job Embeddedness Scale for data collection. A total of 236 nurses participated in the study. Descriptive analyses were done to determine the bivariate correlations among the study variables, while regression-based path analysis was carried out to test the hypotheses. Results revealed that goal clarity and financial self-efficacy showed a strong negative association with preretirement anxiety. Also, higher job embeddedness was negatively associated with preretirement anxiety. In addition, there was a significant indirect relationship between financial self-efficacy and preretirement anxiety, as well as preretirement goal clarity and preretirement anxiety through job embeddedness. Hence, the influence of financial self-efficacy and preretirement goal clarity on preretirement anxiety was mediated by job embeddedness. The results emphasized that financial self-efficacy and preretirement planning are imperative for a positive perception toward retirement transition. In addition, job embeddedness should be encouraged among employees because it facilitates connectedness and interrelatedness in social fusion, ideas, and projections toward retirement transition. This connotes that the development of attachment to place and the formation of strong social ties are sacrosanct for retirement transition. These results are crucial for developing a methodology for support services for prospective employees in retirement transition.

PENERAPAN METODE SIMPLE ADDITIVE WEIGHTING UNTUK MENDUKUNG PENGAMBILAN KEPUTUSAN PENERIMAAN PEGAWAI

Every institution or company will always try to recruit qualified new employees. Employee selection activities are really needed as an effort to improve the performance of the institution or company. The current hiring process is still carried out by convention by inviting applicants to be interviewed, and there are no standard criteria that are prioritized as part of employees who will be recommended to be selected as permanent employees. As a result of the absence of an objective assessment pattern, there is a gap for bargaining in making decisions. Based on the existing problems, it is necessary to strive to develop a method for assessing prospective employees using Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). The results of the assessment using the SAW method can provide alternative solutions for selecting prospective employees according to the established criteria.

Curriculum Development Based on Digital Supply Chain Management in Learning Supplies Management Majoring in Office Administration

Planning, monitoring, and assessing an organization's inventory management processes—often referred to as supply and supply chains—involves learning about supply chains and infrastructure or supplies. We acknowledge, however, that supply management is currently rudimentary and falls short of the demands of Indonesia's expanding appointment market. This study's main goal is to raise the caliber of potential personnel who will handle supplies and equipment in a business. Design Thinking in advance was the methodology utilized in this study. It consists of five steps: empathy, definition and idealization, prototyping, product testing, evaluation, and preparation. This study's findings are integrated supply chain learning that is cloud-based. The introduction of various learning features including LMS, inventory, supply chain, and IoT tracking. There are also some instructions on how to practice bidding based on the case studies given due of the inventory feature. Students are given content for cognitive learning through LMS. Prospective employees' quality, particularly that of professional students studying organizational needs and materials management, can be raised by employing these tools. The creation and deployment of an integrated learning cloud related to subjects on a larger scale can be the focus of this research's continuation the following year

Employers’ conceptions of quality and value in higher education

In this qualitative study, we research what constitutes the relationships between conceptions of quality and value associated with higher education as experienced by prospective employers of business graduates. Quality and value in higher education are often linked though the relationship is unclear. Employers are an important and under-researched stakeholder group on the demand side of higher education. Data are generated by interviewing prospective employers of business graduates from a UK university. Interviews are analysed using a phenomenographic method to determine the qualitatively different ways in which actors make sense of the relationships between quality and value. Understanding prospective employers’ conceptions of the relationships is important given the competitive pressures on universities and businesses. The research reinforces the experiential and idiosyncratic relationships between quality and value in higher education. Three conceptions of what constitutes quality and value in higher education are discussed: (a) quality is an antecedent of value; (b) quality is simple while value is complex; and (c) quality is internal to HE while value is created in the customer domain. The research outcomes provide important insights for researchers and practitioners through clearer understanding of how quality and value are related for this important stakeholder group.

Entrustable professional activities: a model for job activity competency framework with microcredentials

PurposeJob competency frameworks are based on the listing skills required for a job. The assumption is that if a candidate is presumed to have the skills, then the candidate should be able to do the job. Thus, employers hope to identify prospective employees having the required skills. However, this may differ from knowing whether the employee is ready to be trusted to do the job activities with minimal or no supervision. The authors pose the question how employers might know about the capability of prospective employees to perform the job activities for which the employees are being hired.Design/methodology/approachIn health professions education, a job activity-based framework has been developed called “entrustable professional activities” (EPAs, activities to be entrusted). This paper reviews the job activity framework and EPAs used in medical education, considering how this might support preparation for work in other sectors of the labor market.FindingsThe authors describe the EPA framework, some implementation issues and how EPAs lead to a type of microcredential being awarded to individuals as the individuals demonstrate that the individuals can be entrusted with specific job activities.Originality/valueThe focus of this paper is to demonstrate that a medical education model could potentially be adopted by other industries to provide employers with information regarding the ability of a prospective employee in performing the job activities required. Such an approach would address employer's concerns about the job readiness of potential employees.

Strategy For Start-Up Companies in Building Reputation after Mass Layoff (Case Study: Intention to Apply for a Job at Shopee Indonesia)

Mass Termination of Employmentin start-up companies whose layoff process is considered to have suddenly become a hot topic of conversation and has created its own problems in society. This, of course, will affect the reputation of start-up companies to diminish in society. Generation Z has different expectations, preferences, and views when it comes to work, and this can be a challenge for start-up companies that are making mass layoffs. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that influence the intention to apply for jobs in start-up companies after mass layoffs and start-up company strategies for building a reputation after mass layoffs. The research method used is descriptive qualitative by analyzing various literature from scientific journals, related books and websites so that they can provide an explanation of the formulation of the problem under study. The results of the study show that the factors that influence the intention to apply for jobs in start-up companies after mass layoffs include: a). employees attend and work in the office without being bound by time; b). greater learning opportunities provided to its employees; c) Freedom to express ideas; d) there is no standard rule regarding employee appearance; e) the office atmosphere is designed with comfort and a warm home feel. The start-up company's strategy in building a reputation after a mass layoff provides assistance programs to former employees who have been laid off, such as assisting in making attractive and appropriate CVs. In addition, there is also a program that helps recommend former employees to other parties in need. With this research, it is hoped that it can help start-up companies that have done mass layoffs to improve their reputation and increase the company's attractiveness as an attractive workplace for prospective employees.

Exploring the impact of an industrial placement year on students' competency development: a three-cohort, longitudinal study

PurposeDrawing on human capital theory and sustainable career theory, this paper aims to explore the impact of undertaking an industrial placement on the “Great Eight” competencies as perceived by university students and line managers.Design/methodology/approach618 students and their line managers across three cohorts (pre-COVID-19) took part in a longitudinal quantitative study. Students completed a three-wave questionnaire at the placement's start, middle, and end. Line managers completed the questionnaire during waves two and three to offer 360-degree feedback. Descriptive statistics and repeated measures ANOVA were applied to the dataset.FindingsThe impacts of undertaking a placement were highly variable for different competencies at the sub-scale level, although at the eight-scale level, the nuance was less pronounced. However, students self-perceived that all eight competencies increased between the start and end of the placement. Surprisingly, line managers perceived students' competencies to be higher than perceived by the students.Originality/valueThe value of undertaking a placement is often poorly measured (e.g. satisfaction) rather than competency-based outcomes, which can lead to conclusions that are overly simplistic and difficult to use in practice. Theoretically, this study advances understanding of human capital theory and sustainable career theory by understanding the role placements can play in developing human capital and preparing university students for sustainable careers. Practically, the findings of this study can help to close the university–industry skills gap by informing curriculum and placement scheme design and supporting students to acquire personal resources and signal these to prospective employers as an antecedent to career sustainability.
