What Should We Expect from Congruence?
Chartrand, Judy; Walsh, W. Bruce
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v55 n1 p136-46 Aug 1999
Most tests of congruence in Holland's theory are flawed because they are cross-sectional, use samples of persons already in congruent environments, classify environment casually, fail to relate congruence to relevant aspects of work environments, and have not assessed environment accurately. The centrality of congruence makes the improvement of research. (Author/SK)
