Abstract: This article proposes a model of job offer-acceptance to explain the complex relationship between job offer acceptance intention and actual behavior. We integrate attraction-selection-attrition and person-environment fit theories with elimination-by-aspects theory of choice making to explain offer acceptance behavior in the presence of multiple job offers. These theories along with the theory of reasoned action and planned behavior are used to create a multi-dimensional measure of offer-acceptance index. Seven factors of perceived alternatives and three factors of individual characteristics are identified to help increase the predictive power of acceptance intentions on job choice behaviors.
