Abstract

Systematic selection processes are often met with resistance as decision algorithms are deemed dehumanizing and invalid. Our research examined this resistance, developed and empirically tested a measure of resistance to algorithmic selection to better understand algorithm aversion. Lastly, we look to examine how applicants react to different hiring methods.
