ChristiansenDepartment of PsychologyCentral Michigan UniversityMount Pleasant, MI, United Stateschris1nd@cmich.eduAIM AND SCOPEChet Robie Lazaridis School of Business & EconomicsWilfrid Laurier University Waterloo, Ontario, Canadacrobie@wlu.caSelection in organizations generally assumes that candidates will approach assessments with some motivation to present themselves accurately—that is, candidates will strive to complete the assessments in an honest and forthright manner. Unfortunately, years of research in the organizational sciences has suggested that this may not always be the case. Candidates completing selection assessments may engaged in activities such as lying, misrepresentation, cheating, and faking. This represents a challenge to practitioners who rely on such assessments to make high-stakes decisions that can affect candidates’ likelihood of getting a job and organizations’ need to get the best available talent.The goal of this special issue is to feature research that examines the effects of impression management on assessment outcomes. The focus of the issue is broad, welcoming theory papers, quantitative or qualitative reviews, simulations, empirical papers with primary laboratory and/or field data, or provocation papers.
