Abstract

We examined applicant withdrawal from job application. Utilizing a sample of applicants to a low-level military job (N = 5346), findings indicated that decrease in perceptions of fit, time interval after job application, applicant personality, information and self-efficacy regarding selection tests, and type of intentions were associated with this behavior.
