Abstract

The considerable research on realistic job previews (RJPs) leaves no firm conclusions as to their effectiveness. Research results are inconsistent. A critical appraisal of past RJP research addresses specific issues: (a) the psychological processes that have been hypothesized to mediate the effectiveness of RJPs; (b) RJP boundary conditions; and (c) methodological weaknesses of previous RJP studies. Future directions for research are suggested.
