Abstract
The study investigated three possible psychological processes underlying the use of realistic job previews (RJPs). RJPs were hypothesized to reduce turnover through (1) lowered expectations and increased job satisfaction, (2) improved ability to cope with unpleasant job circumstances, and (3) the creation of a perceptual set of greater openness and honesty within the company. None of the hypotheses received strong support.Keywords
