Searching with Google Scholar

You are returned to the main search page. Search for "accountant job description" in the search box.

The returned results are mixed. Some feature a "Find Text @ IRSC" link to the right. Some results have links to other sources you may be able to access. Other results have no links to the right - these results are probably not accessible because they are behind a paywall.

Click the IRSC link next to the search result "The effects of job description content on job evaluation judgments".
