When studying applicants' job attribute preferences, researchers have used either direct estimates (DE) of importance or regression - derived statistical weights from policy - capturing (PC) studies. Although each methodology has been criticized, no research has examined the efficacy of weights derived from either method for predicting choices among job offers. In this study, participants were assigned to either a DE or PC condition, and weights for 14 attribute prederences were derived. Three weeks later, the participants made choices among hypothetical job offers. As predicted, PC weights outperformed DE weights when a non compensatory strategy was assumed and DE weights outperformed PC weights when a compensatury strategy was assumed. Implications for researchers' choice of methodology when studying attribute preferences are discussed.
