Abstract
Empirical evidence has verified that anxiety is an inherent part of the interview process, and in today’s stressful work environment it also has the potential of interfering with the ultimate goal of the interview: to recruit the most suitable person for the job and organizational fit. The objective of this study was to validate three virtual environments: (i) a business waiting room; (ii) an office with the presence of plants and a window view of nature (nature-like surroundings); and (iii) an office without nature elements. Hence, this study aims to validate the experimental and neutral virtual environments that will be used for further studies. A between-subject design was considered, and 66 university students participated voluntarily. Results evidenced the waiting room received unanimous and neutral ratings among conditions. The office with nature-like surroundings was more positively rated comparatively to the office without such surroundings.
