Recruiters increasingly cybervet job applicants by checking their social media profiles. Theory (i.e., the political affiliation model, PAM) and research show that during cybervetting, recruiters are exposed to job-unrelated information such as political affiliation, which might trigger similarity-attraction effects and bias hireability judgments. However, as the PAM was developed in a more polarized two-party political system, it is pivotal to test and refine the PAM in a multiparty context. Therefore, we asked working professionals from the United States (two-party context, N = 266) and Germany (multiparty context, N = 747) to rate an applicant's hireability after cybervetting a LinkedIn profile that was manipulated in a between-subjects design (party affiliation by individuating information). Key tenets of the PAM could be transferred to multiparty contexts: The political similarity-attraction effect predicted hireability judgments beyond job-related individuating information, especially regarding organizational citizenship behavior. In addition, in a multiparty context, these biasing effects of political similarity and liking were not attenuated. Yet, there were also differences: In a multiparty context, political similarity had to be operationalized in terms of political value similarity and recruiters' political interest emerged as a significant moderator of the effects. So, this study refines the PAM by showing in multiparty contexts the importance of (a) a values-based perspective (instead of a behavioral political affiliation perspective) and (b) political interest (instead of identification). Accordingly, we provide a more nuanced understanding of when political affiliation similarity contributes to perceived overall similarity in affecting liking and hireability judgments in cybervetting.

政治比技能更重要:多党背景下可聘性判断中的政治相似性影响以及政治利益的作用。

招聘人员越来越多地通过检查求职者的社交媒体资料来对其进行网络审查。理论(即政治派别模型,PAM)和研究表明,在网络审查过程中,招聘人员会接触到与工作无关的信息,例如政治派别,这可能会引发相似性吸引力效应和偏见可聘性判断。然而,由于PAM是在更加两极分化的两党政治体系中发展起来的,因此在多党背景下测试和完善PAM至关重要。因此,我们要求来自美国(两党背景,N = 266)和德国(多党背景,N = 747)的工作专业人士在对在主体间设计中操纵的 LinkedIn 个人资料进行网络审查后,对申请人的可聘性进行评分(通过个人信息确定党派归属)。PAM 的关键原则可以转移到多党环境中:政治相似性吸引效应预测了与工作相关的个性化信息之外的可雇佣性判断,特别是在组织公民行为方面。此外,在多党背景下,政治相似性和喜好的这些偏见影响并没有减弱。然而,也存在差异:在多党背景下,政治相似性必须根据政治价值相似性来运作,而招聘人员的政治利益成为影响的重要调节因素。因此,本研究通过在多党背景下展示 (a) 基于价值观的视角(而不是行为政治派别视角)和 (b) 政治利益(而不是认同)的重要性来完善 PAM。因此,我们对政治派别相似性何时会影响网络审查中的喜好和可聘用判断的感知整体相似性提供了更细致的理解。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA,保留所有权利)。
