These authors analyzed Weiner's attribution theory in determining the attributions that recruiters utilize during interviews and selection processes as well as final hiring decisions. They used a quasi-experimental design to determine at which level of ability (either high or low) as well as effort (high or low) was manipulated. They analyzed the extent at which there were manipulations using three outcomes that includes: (1) beliefs and predictions of employees’ future job performances, (2) anticipated level of employees’ responsibility for lack of success and deficiencies, and (3) hiring recommendations. Their findings compatible to that of the attribution theory wherein recruiters discovered the dissimilarities in the element and explanations of prior work outcomes provided by job applicants that later affected their expectations of future performances on the job, responsibility in lack of success, and recommendations to hire.
