Project Details
Goal of the project
This project aims to examine the opportunity for Defence to invest in serious games for recruitment and selection purposes. To this end, we will develop a gamified Situational Judgement Test (SJT) assessing core personal values and the Person-Organisation fit (P-O fit). This serious game, called Do We Match? will serve both recruitment and selection purposes. To answer our research question, we will test the following hypotheses:
(1) Using Do We Match? as a marketing tool improves Defence attractiveness, intention to apply, and actual application;
(2) The P-O fit score based on Do We Match? predicts retention, health, and performance during training;
(3) The P-O fit score based on Do We Match? predicts retention, health, and performance during training better than the current paper-and-pencil SJT;
(4) Using Do We Match? as a recruiting tool alleviates the selection process from P-O fit measurements.
