Deconstruction of Evaluation Elements in Structured Interviews for Recruiting Civil Servants and Optimization Pathways
A structured interview is a primary form of interview commonly employed for recruiting civil servants at ranks below senior staff members.The evaluation elements are prerequisites for formulating questions used in such structured interviews,hence whether these evaluation elements are scientific and rational is pivotal to the quality of questions in a structured interview and will ultimately affect the match between civil service jobs and potential recruits.Based on the"person-job-organization"fit theory,this study focuses on recruitment interviews for civil service job applicants in S Province.It collects 13 samples for investigation and distributes 186 copies of questionnaires.Utilizing the data gathered from these questionnaires,the study analyzes and deconstructs the evaluation elements of the structured interviews for recruiting civil servants.The findings indicate that the current ability evaluation elements are insufficient in reflecting the characteristics of specific jobs,which consequently leads to suboptimal person-job fit,even a mismatch between the competencies of recruits and the requirements of jobs.Hence,it is imperative to explore pathways towards optimizing evaluation elements in such interviews,so as to provide references for conducting categorized structured interviews.
