The influence of person-organization fit on the employee's perception of organizational performance

Abstract

The study explores the pair-wise relationships across person-organizational fit in multiple Turkish companies and the financial and qualitative components of Organizational performance. The person-organizational fit developed by Netemeyer, Boles, McKee and McMurrian (1997) is tested on 1288 staff and managers from 74 different informatics and dockyards organizations. As expected, person-organization fit is found to relate positively to both performance components. Implications of the results for individuals and organizations are discussed.
