Abstract
Research indicates that the advertisement of fringe job benefits are related to positive job seeker perceptions of the organization and job pursuit intentions. Drawing from Conservation of Resources Theory, I investigate how different types of fringe benefits related to people’s motivations to obtain, enhance, or retain resources differentially attract them to an organization. The study also examines the role of financial well-being as a moderator of fringe benefits and anticipated organizational support. Further, I assess the relationship between fringe benefits and job pursuit intentions through the serial mechanisms of anticipated organizational support and organizational attractiveness. Findings suggest that fringe benefits lead to significantly different levels of anticipated organizational support and this relationship is moderated by financial well-being. Full serial mediation is also found for the relationship between fringe benefit types and job pursuit intentions, although evidence was not found for a direct effect of anticipated organizational support on job pursuit intentions. The findings are discussed in terms of Conservation of Resources Theory and the practical implications for deskless organizations to tailor recruitment advertisements.
