Abstract

English Abstract: This paper aims to revisit the theoretical concepts of Realistic Job Preview (RJP), as a human resource management approach to provide job candidates with information to better match the candidates’ expectations with the realities regarding the job. Further, the paper attempts to present several considerations and strategies in implementing RJP in the socialization, selection, and retention processes of recruitment. The theoretical review presented shows that, when given properly and at the correct timing, RJP could increase job satisfaction, commitment, and performance while reducing turnover. This implies that the information shared through RJP could create a more realistic, deflated expectation about the job and the organization when presented using multiple formats.

Indonesian Abstract: Artikel ini membahas konsep teoritis mengenai Realistic Job Preview (RJP) sebagai salah satu strategi SDM yang bertujuan menyediakan informasi realistis guna mempertemukan antara ekspektasi calon pegawai dengan kenyataan di tempat kerja. Kemudian, artikel ini juga mengungkapkan beberapa pertimbangan dan strategi implementasi RJP dalam hal sosialisasi, seleksi, dan retensi dalam proses rekrutmen. Kajian teoritis dalam artikel ini mengemukakan bahwa, ketika diberikan dengan cara dan dalam waktu yang tepat, RJP dapat meningkatkan kepuasan kerja, komitmen, komitmen, dan kinerja sekaligus menurunkan angka turnover (penggantian tenaga kerja). Dengan demikian, infrromasi yang didesiminasikan melalui RJP dapat menciptakan ekspektasi yang lebih realistis tentang suatu pekerjaan ketika dipresentasikan menggunakan berbagai format.
