PRELIS and LISREL 7 were used to test an on-campus interview model. The model consisted of five latent variables (1) resume, (2) cognitive aptitude, (3) face-to-face interview/likability, (4) self/employer fit, and (5) overall performance of the interviewee. Based on fit information, thirteen successive modifications were made to the model. The hypothesized model was not positive definite, hence, three error terms were constrained. In Model 3 two variables were dropped from the 15 variable model. Model 7 proved to be the best model. It examined the influence of two pre-interview exogenous variables (resume, cognitive aptitude) on the endogenous variables (face-to-face/likability, self/employer fit, overall performance of the interviewee). The influence of face-to-face/likability and self/employer fit significantly influenced the interviewees' overall interview performance. It was found that the paths from resume and self/employer fit to interviewee's overall performance were significant. However, the paths from cognitive aptitude to self/employer fit and likability to overall performance were not significant. / A multi-group analysis was attempted in order to determine the fit of the model with regard to gender and selection. However, the covariance matrices for the analysis of gender and selection were not positive definite. Therefore, it was not possible to examine gender or selection differences in the model. Based on the findings of this investigation, implications for practice are given. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 54-07, Section: A, page: 2468. / Major Professor: E. J.
