Using a sample of graduate management students interviewed by corporate rec
ruiters, this study examined how the assessment of applicant work values du
ring employment interviews is affected by the: focus of the interview and t
he functional relevance of the work value to the recruiter's organization.
Hypotheses are derived from recent person perception research, information
processing research and goal-setting research. Results suggest that intervi
ew focus and functional relevance affect work value assessment accuracy.
