| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines the effects of help-wanted advertisement characteristics on vacancy attractiveness. Ungraduate students were presented with entry-level service job advertisements differing in attribute set size, attribute relevance, and pay ambiguity. Results revealed strong evidence for a set-size effect, with ads containing more attributes increasing the attractiveness of the vacancies being advertised. Pay abiguity decreased the attractiveness of vacancies with ads containing a small set of attributes. A second experiment presented students with the same ads, except that the small-set ads were enlarged to equal the size of the large-set ads. Results replicated the set-size effect only for relevant-attribute ads.The paper concludes that merely adding relevant attribute information to help-wanted ads can lead to the inference that the jobs promoted in the ads are more attractive. |
