The Effects of Realistic Job Previews on Newcomer Behavior: A Laboratory Study.
Miceli, Marcia P.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v26 n3 p277-89 Jun 1985
Gave subjects (N=832) one of four previews; some were permitted a choice of tasks. Consistent with social information processing approach (SIPA) predictions and contrary to "reality shock" predictions, task satisfaction was positively associated with preview favorability. Performance also varied by preview but turnover did not. (Author/BH)
