Relatia dintre aspectele selfului si performanta candidatilor in cadrul interviurilor de angajare

The main objective of this study is to identify the relation between aspects of the self and the candidate's performance during an employment interview. Self-esteem was defined using Rosenberg's perspective, and the self-worth contingencies were defined using the perspective developed by J.Crocker. The Big Five model was described using Costa and McCrae's perspective. Methods: Rosenberg Scale, IPIP and Contingencies of Self-Worth Scale. Participants: 60 subjects that participated in an employment interview. The performance was evaluated by 2 interviewers. The results show a positive correlation between the candidate's self-esteem and their performance at the interview. Extraversion, Conscientiousness and Agreeableness were positively associated with performance at the interview. Competence and competition, as self-worth contingencies, are also positively correlated with a high performance during the employment interview.
