independent variables were dummy coded in order to perform a regression analysis. The<br />

ethical recruitment practices (RP) condition was dummy coded (1=ethical RP,<br />

0=unethical or neutral RP). The unethical RP condition was also dummy coded<br />

(1=unethical RP, 0=ethical or neutral RP). Similarly, the ethical organizational practices<br />

(OP) variable condition was dummy coded (1=ethical OP, 0=unethical or neutral OP)<br />

and the unethical OP condition was also dummy coded (1=unethical OP, 0=ethical or<br />

neutral OP). Results are reported in Table 10.<br />

Using Baron and Kenny’s (1986) method, I first examined the relationship<br />

between the independent (dummy coded) variables and the dependent variable. The<br />

ethical recruitment practices and unethical recruitment practices variables were not<br />

tested for mediation since there was no significant relationship between these variables<br />

and attraction (β = .01, n.s. and β = -.07, n.s., respectively). Thus, Hypothesis 3b was<br />

not supported. Next, I examined the relationship between the independent variables and<br />

the mediator. For organizational practices (Hypothesis 3a), both ethical organizational<br />

practices (β = .31, p
