Many theories propose IndividualâÃâSituation interactions to explain the presence and magnitude of applicant faking behavior. However, these theories fail to account for the likelihood that faking behavior is expressed in several forms and may be accomplished through different processes. We propose the trait contract classification theory that seeks to refine prior theoretical work in this area by integrating empirical findings regarding traits related to differing forms of deceptive behavior. Following prior faking theories, the trait contract classification theory suggests that these individual traits interact with the situation to produce faking behavior. Our theory, specifically, offers the anticipatory psychological contract to globally capture the situational variance in faking. Analytic strategies are presented that will help researchers better uncover the diversity of faking behaviors.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/08959285.2011.597475
