作者:

Highlights:

• We built a field study with 14 self-presentation categories of job seekers.

• Self-presentation messages with higher argument quality affect P–J and P–O fits.

• Self-presentation messages with higher source credibility increase perceived P–P fit.

• Perceived P–J fit and P–O fit affect recruiters’ hiring recommendations.

• Perceived P–P fit does not affect recruiters’ hiring recommendations.
