Person-Organization Fit Characteristics as Related to Organizational Identification and Commitment

• In Event: Workers and Workplaces: Managing Emotion, Work, and Commitment

Abstract

Determining why people fit better with different organizations may lead to efforts that increase identification with the organization and result in more committed employees. We tested the hypotheses that if person-organization fit characteristics are made more salient to employees through a message about their current employer, then their organizational identification and commitment will increase. Results of the present study indicate a statistically significant increase in identification, but not in commitment.
