Abstract

A common assertion in the job choice literature is that a job attribute (e.g., starting salary) will influence choice more when it has a wide range of values than when it has a narrow range of values. The authors suggest that this conclusion tells only part of the story concerning how attribute range influences job choice, and they show how the stage of choice determines the direction of range effects.
