“…The findings of Meir and Erez (1981) for 109 engineers, Hener and Meir (1981) for 126 registered nurses, Meir and Engel (1986) for 81 physicians, and Meir (1987) for 135 teachers support the assumption that at age 36 it is the appropriate choice of specialty that is relevant for OCS rather than the broad occupational field. In all four studies, correlations of about .42 were found between congruence within one's occupation and satisfaction.…”

“…Almost 35 years ago, Wiggens, Lederer, Salkowe, and Rys () found that differentiation was a significant predictor of job satisfaction among teachers. In addition, significant positive correlations were found between nurses' job satisfaction and measures of differentiation and consistency (Hener & Meir, ). The combination of consistency, differentiation, and congruence also predicted job satisfaction (Hener & Meir, ).…”

Decisions regarding college majors have the potential to affect a person's overall academic performance and long‐term career success. With Holland's () trait‐and‐factor theory serving as a foundation, the authors examined relationships between person–environment fit, college major satisfaction, and grade point average of undergraduate students (N = 99). Results revealed that student–major congruence and academic major satisfaction were both significant predictors of grade point average.

“…Among the seven studies which have examined the extent to which differentiation or consistency are positively correlated with job satisfaction, three are somewhat supportive of the hypothesis that they do enhance the prediction of job satisfaction (Hener & Meir, 1981;Wiggins, 1984;Wiggins, Lederer, Salkowe, & Rys, 1983), and four are only weakly supportive or clearly nonsupportive (Frantz & Walsh, 1972;Peiser & Meir, 1978;Villwock, Schnitzen, & Carbonari, 1976). In fact, Gottfredson and Holland found that among bank tellers, differentiation was significantly negatively correlated with job satisfaction.…”

An outgrowth of the search for individual differences serving to enhance the predictability of behavior has led to speculations on the nature of personality characteristics which might moderate the extent to which work outcomes depend on degree of person- environment fit or congruence. This study investigated the extent to which three constructs proposed by Holland (1985; differentiation, consistency, and vocational identity) indeed moderate the strength of the congruence-satisfaction relationship. A sample of 139 employed adults who had completed Strong Interest Inventories between 1 and 6 years earlier completed measures of job satisfaction and vocational identity. The results indicated that none of Holland's proposed constructs moderated the strength of the congruence-satisfaction relationship, although congruence did emerge as a stronger predictor of job satisfaction for older males than for younger males. Implications for vocational assessment and career counseling are discussed.
