Images of Person-Organization Fit: Elements Affecting Employee Organizational Behavior
(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Barylska, I.S.
The purpose of this paper is to build upon the existing literature on person-organization fit, in particular, employees’ perception of the P-O fit, taking into consideration two main criteria: 1) the level of formalization as a company’s characteristics and 2) an employee’s certainty orientation as a person’s characteristics. The congruence between the situational factor (level of formalization) and personal traits (certainty orientation) influence individual organizational behavior. A two-dimension model illustrated by a four-element matrix is created by the author to present the concept and describe employees’ organizational behaviors. There are four images of P-O fit developed in the paper: 1) a kayak on a stormy ocean 2) ferries on a lake, 3) a cruise ship in a pond and 4) yacht on friendly seas.
