A Quantitative Review of the Relationship between Person-Organization Fit and Behavioral Outcomes
Hoffman, Brian J.; Woehr, David J.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v68 n3 p389-399 Jun 2006
This paper extends the meta-analysis of Verquer, Beehr, and Wagner by providing a meta-analytic review of the relationship between person-organization fit (PO fit) and behavioral criteria (job performance, organizational citizenship behaviors, and turnover). Results indicate that PO fit is weakly to moderately related to each of these outcome variables. Results further show that the way in which fit is measured is an important moderator of fit-outcome relationships; however, definition of fit did not moderate the relationship between fit and behavioral criterion. Implications of these findings and avenues for future research are discussed.
