Resumen
Este artículo analiza la percepción de los procesos de selección por parte de los candi-datos y su relación con una serie de variables sociodemográficas (sexo, edad y nivel for-mativo) y de desarrollo profesional (tiempo de desempleo, valoración de la experiencia,abandono de la búsqueda de empleo, etc.). En concreto, se parte de una versión al caste-llano de la “Escala Justicia Procedimental” que Bauer, Truxillo, Sanchez, Craig, Ferrara y Campion (2001) realizan a partir de las diez reglas de justicia propuestas por Gilliland(1993). Los resultados muestran que los candidatos perciben consistencia en la adminis-tración de las pruebas, una comunicación abierta, un trato adecuadoy una comunicaciónbidireccional, pero peores resultados se observan en la posibilidad de desempeñoy en la oportunidad de reconsiderar los resultados. El nivel formativo está negativamente relacionado con la valoración del proceso, sin embargo la edad y el tiempo de desempleo nolo están. En contra de los esperado, ser seleccionado o no tras el proceso, no influye en lapercepción de justicia, sin embargo, entre los seleccionados el factor relación de las pruebas con el puesto de trabajo sí influye en la autoestima tras el proceso de selección. Por último, ninguno de los factores de Gilliland explican ni la valoración del proceso de selección, ni la búsqueda de empleo por parte de los candidatos. El artículo propone una seriede recomendaciones acerca de cómo favorecer la percepción que tienen los candidatos de los procesos de selección.
