Meta-Analysis of the Relation Between Interview Anxiety and Interview Performance

We conducted a meta-analysis to estimate the effect of self-reported interview anxiety on job candidates' interview performance. Correspondingly, we examined the extent to which this relation was moderated by anxiety measurement approaches, type of interview (mock vs. real), timing of the anxie...

description We conducted a meta-analysis to estimate the effect of self-reported interview anxiety on job candidates' interview performance. Correspondingly, we examined the extent to which this relation was moderated by anxiety measurement approaches, type of interview (mock vs. real), timing of the anxiety measurement (before vs. after the interview), age, and gender. The overall meta-analytic correlation of −.19 was moderated by measurement approach and type of interview. Additionally, we evaluated the contributing studies with respect to power/sample size and provide sample size guidance for future research. The overall negative relation of −.19 (a medium effect size in this research area) indicates that anxiety may have a meaningful impact on hiring decisions in competitive situations through a decrease in interview performance. Nous avons réalisé une méta-analyse pour estimer l'effet de l'anxiété autodéclarée face aux entretiens d'embauche sur la performance de candidats lors d'entretiens d'embauche. Nous avons examiné l'ampleur avec laquelle cette relation était modérée par les approches de mesure de l'anxiété, le type d'entretien (fictif versus réel), le moment de la mesure de l'anxiété (avant ou après l'entretien), l'âge et le sexe. La corrélation méta-analytique globale de -0,19 a été modérée par l'approche de mesure et le type d'entretien. Nous avons aussi évalué les études à l'appui de la puissance/taille de l'échantillon et proposons des tailles d'échantillons pour les recherches à venir. La relation négative globale de -0,19 (un effet de taille moyenne dans ce domaine de recherche) indique que l'anxiété peut avoir un impact significatif sur les décisions d'embauche dans les situations de concurrence, comme le démontre la baisse de performance lors de l'entretien d'embauche. Public Significance Statement Many people experience anxiety before and during employment interviews. We systematically reviewed the literature on the relationship between anxiety and employment interview performance, to determine if anxiety affects people's performance in employment interviews. We found that anxiety has a moderate, negative effect on performance in employment interviews.
