Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the satisfaction of personnel selection process according to type of personnel manager and to examine whether the relationship between the type of personnel manager and the satisfaction with the personnel selection process was moderated by the applicant's perception of procedural justice. This study was conducted using a between-group design with 208 students from a four-year university in Korea. One group watched a video in which a human personnel manager selected employees and the other group watched a video in which an AI personnel manager selected employees. Participants were randomly assigned to a condition, responded to a demographic questionnaire, and answered measures of procedural justice and satisfaction with personnel selection after watching the video. As a result, the selection process satisfaction was significantly higher when the human personnel manager conducted the selection process than when the AI personnel manager conducted such process. In addition, when procedural justice was perceived as low, there was a significant difference in satisfaction between human and AI groups. However, when procedural justice was perceived as high, there was no significant difference in satisfaction between the two groups. Based on study results, the significance and limitations of this study and suggestions for future studies are discussed.
