Abstract
This research explored relationships between employees’ speech characteristics within job interview situations and employers’ hiring decisions. Using semantic differential instruments, the researchers examined employer attitudes toward speech samples and relationships between these attitudes and employment decisions. Results revealed a stable three‐factor model describing employers’ perceptions of employees’ speech characteristics. This model, however, was only partially successful as a predictor of employment decisions.
