Realistic job previews help form bonds and build mutual trust with candidates, which leads to a lower turnover ratio, which is high with new hires.
[citation needed] For example, if a new employee started a new job with an understanding that they wouldn't have to work weekends and then are immediately scheduled for a Saturday night, it undermines that trust and the psychological contract is breached.
For example, if a company continuously overemphasizes its benefits, job outlooks etc., it will not meet up to the expectations it had previously set for itself, thus lowering trust, which can lead to turnover.
[4] By creating a realistic job preview, individuals indirectly develop an impression of the organization being honest and open to their potentially new employees.
[1] An increased drop out rate is a good sign because it means that the realistic job preview gave them a reliable perspective on the position, and revealed that it would not have been something important enough for them to commit to.
[5] There are no specific outlines or rules that one needs to follow in order to create a realistic job preview; the process can be simple or complicated.
[6] RJP information is focused on the things that matter most to the candidate's demographic and parts of the job or culture that correlate with engagement and turnover.
