Abstract

This research extends the study of Littlewood, Flores, Castañeda and Mercado (2005) which compares variables as realistic job interviews (ERS), job satisfaction (ST) and intention to stay in the organization (IP) by using a sample of 162 undergraduate students and 258 Postgraduates. The survey has 26 items, obtaining levels of reliability higher than 0.60, finding that in fact there are differences between ERS and IP, but not on the ST level.
