520 |a The present study examined applicant reactions to different types of interview medium by comparing between face-to-face and technology-mediated employment interview (through videoconference interview). Fifty-two graduating undergraduate students participated in the present study as part of college recruitment for its search of potential graduate research assistant. The participants were given a job description of research assistant to be read before they were interviewed. The order of interview media were counterbalanced and the participants were interviewed via face-to-face and videoconference interviews. The participants then responded to applicant reactions' self-report measures and indicated their fairness perception and attraction to organisation to these two interview media. Results demonstrated no significant main effect of interview medium on applicants' fairness perception (F(1, 50) = 0.263; p>0.05). There was however a significant effect of interview medium on applicants' attraction to organisation with (F(1, 50) = 25.072; p<0.001). In particular, applicants' attraction to organisation were higher in videoconference interview (M=18.808) compared to face-to-face interview (M=16.347) with t(50) = 5.066; p<0.01. Furthermore, in both interview media, applicants' fairness perception significantly predicted applicants' attraction to organisation. These findings of the present research were discussed in relation to past literature, in addition to its limitations, implications and recommendations for future research.
