- W240040959 abstract "ABSTRACT This research examines how accounting PhD candidates and current accounting faculty seek, conduct, and draw inferences from interviews at the American Accounting Association national convention. The initial interview is critical for further consideration of the position by the applicant and of the applicant by the university. A survey of applicants at the convention indicates ways in which both parties send signals of their interest or lack thereof. Applicants' areas of dissatisfaction with the process are noted, along with suggestions as to how universities could improve their interviewing procedures. Applicants were selective about schools chosen for possible interviews and showed a high level of search for information about those schools. Implications for generalizing the results to other areas of business academia are discussed. INTRODUCTION AND MOTIVATION Little research has been performed in the accounting or business area in academic job search. Most of the existing research has focused on on-campus interviewing and job selection. Turban, Campion, and Eyring (1995) recommended that future research look at early stages in the recruitment process: search for information about potential employers and the initial interview. Applicants search for information both to determine to what schools to apply and to prepare for interviews. Knowledge of applicants' information search strategies may help universities improve their methods of providing information to potential faculty and thus become more attractive to desirable applicants. The initial interview for a faculty position is crucial because it determines whether the two parties maintain interest in each other. Dissatisfaction with the initial interviewing process causes qualified applicants to withdraw from consideration (Turban, Forret, & Hendrickson, 1998; Boudreau & Rynes, 1985). This may have negative effects on both applicants and universities. Applicants dissatisfied with the process may reduce their job search and make sub-optimal job choices. Universities may lose potentially good faculty due to poor interviewing procedures. The number of new accounting PhDs has dropped dramatically in recent years, from 200 in 1993 to 86 in 2002 (Hasselback, 2004). Thus there is considerable competition among universities for new accounting PhDs. Universities which improve their interviewing process may better obtain desirable faculty. To do so, universities must be aware of areas of applicant dissatisfaction and work to overcome them. Universities trying to increase faculty diversity may be interested in whether there are gender effects on job search. This research has three primary objectives, which follow from the earlier discussion. The primary purpose is to determine how accounting PhD candidates (students) and current faculty interested in relocating seek faculty positions by obtaining information about schools, selecting ones to pursue, and obtaining, conducting, and drawing inferences from interviews at the American Accounting Association (AAA) national convention. A second purpose of this research is to obtain descriptive information about applicants' interviewing experiences. This research should help PhD students and relocating faculty know what to expect in initial interviews and thus improve their chances of being invited to on-campus interviews with desirable universities. Applicant knowledge in this area is important, as tightening tenure requirements have resulted in new PhDs competing for assistant professor positions with more experienced faculty who were denied tenure. This research compares the experiences and perceptions of PhD students and relocating faculty. Results provide information useful to universities in knowing what to expect of applicants and how to appear more attractive to them. The percentage of women among new accounting PhDs has increased in recent years. A final purpose is to determine whether differences exist between male and female applicants in initial job search. …" @default.
