Matching People and Organizations: Selection and Socialization in Public Accounting Firms.
Chatman, Jennifer A.
Administrative Science Quarterly, v36 n3 p459-84 Sep 1991
To investigate the establishment and maintenance of employee-organization fit, a recent study tracked the early careers of 171 entry-level auditors in 8 large U.S. public accounting firms and assessed the congruence of their values with organizational values. Recruits whose values match the firm's adjust more quickly and experience greater job satisfaction. (71 references) (MLH)
