Draws on propositions from the signaling theory and expectancy theory to hypothesize that the perceived corporate citizenship of job seekers positively affects a firm’s attractiveness and career success expectation. Tests research hypotheses empirically using a survey of graduating MBA students seeking a job. Finds that a firm’s corporate citizenship provides a competitive advantage in attracting job seekers and fostering optimistic career success expectation. Complements the growing literature arguing that corporate citizenship brings firms competitive advantages without solid evidence from the perspective of recruitment and human resources. Concludes by discussing managerial implications and limitations of this study.ISSN: 0167-4544Reference: 41AC808
