Recently, a serials of SJTs studies have been conducted around theoretical explanation, psychometrics attributes, concept development, practical application and so on. The article aims at conducting a theoretical and methodological review of SJTs research findings recent years. It presented SJTs foundational theories and distinguished two different research approaches (methodand conceptoriented paradigm). The effectiveness of SJTs in term of reliability, construct validity, criterionrelated validity incremental validity and contextual effects is discussed in the paper as well. Three key issues of the SJTs implementation such as presentation format, faking, and subgroup differences are also stated in this paper. Future research should pay much more attention on three topics: developing new SJTs format, advocating conceptoriented paradigm, and incorporating other assessment tools in personnel selection.
