Attracting and Staffing
Assignment Overview
Attraction-Selection-Attrition (ASA) Framework
Like human beings, organizations have a unique personality. The Attraction-Selection-Attrition frameworkexplains
that potential employees will be attracted to organizations whose
cultures match their own personality. Ultimately, there needs to be a
reciprocal match between the employee and the organization. As a
practical example, Southwest Airlines became the airline industry’s most
successful firm by hiring people with positive attitudes and well-honed
interpersonal skills, including a sense of humor. At Timberland, senior
applicants go through a day of community service with executives.
People who do not fit with the organization will be unhappy which will
lead to attrition. As a result, it is better to “filter out” the misfits
before they are hired.
Drawing on the material in the background readings and doing
additional research, please prepare a 3-4 page paper (not including the
cover and reference pages) in which you:
Research the culture of an organization that you are familiar with.
Next, what kind of employee would prefer to work at that organization
and why? How does the organization attract new employees?As an HR Staffing Specialist, how would you apply the ASA Framework to your organization?
