DELBRIDGE, Kerry The justice perspective is the current dominant framework for research on applicant perceptions of test fairness. Recently, an emerging perspective suggests that self-serving bias mechanisms may be operative in the development of test fairness perceptions. Using data from 494 actual applicants to an entry-level State Police Trooper position, this study integrates both the justice and self-serving bias perspectives to achieve a better understanding of test fairness perceptions. Results from structural equation modeling show that perceived job-relevance affects perceived fairness. In addition, test performance affects both perceptions indirectly through perceived performance. 1998-10-01T07:00:00Z text https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/soss_research/225 info:doi/10.1111/1468-2389.00094 Research Collection School of Social Sciences eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Employment tests occupational aptitude tests Employee selection Industrial and Organizational Psychology
