“…To understand the issue of increasing unemployment of UAE nationals, the relationship between the characteristics of individuals, their jobs, and their organizations must be better understood and better aligned, because they are "related to both productivity and commitment" (Behery, 2009, p. 179). Behery (2009) describes the person-organization fit and the personjob fit that can be obstacles in hiring practices in private sector companies because "many organizations are yet to discover the link between investing in people and work outcomes such as customer satisfaction, high work performance, and profit" (p. 180). Organizations, especially in the private sector, "should continue to look at their socialization tactics to enhance the organizational commitment among their employees," whether Emirati or expatriate (Behery, 2009, p. 191).…”

“…Other studies conducted by the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAGHR) (UAE Government, 2011) and researchers (Elamin, 2011;Shallal, 2011) found Emirati women vastly preferred working in the public sector because the shorter working hours allowed for more of a home-work life balance because Emirati women, even those with full-time jobs, shoulder most of the domestic responsibilities in Emirati social structure. Private sector vacancies are quickly filled by qualified and experienced foreign laborers who are willing to work longer hours for less compensation than their Emirati counterparts (Behery, 2009). Daleure and Al Shareef (2015) found that Emirati dissatisfaction with the private sector is not likely to improve if the sector remains in its current state, since employers have little incentive to make workplaces more attractive to Emiratis or to make retaining Emiratis a corporate priority.…”

This study examines factors leading to unemployment among young Emirati adults and new entrants to the workforce despite the abundant employment opportunities available in the UAE private sector. The study points out that new entrants to the workforce, including a growing number of college graduates, find few opportunities in the preferred but saturated public sector so they are faced with a three-part employment decision: considering employment in the private sector for a long-term career, entering the private sector temporarily, or remaining unemployed until an opportunity emerges in the public sector. The study sheds light on the obvious question, "Why would Emirati youth prefer to remain unemployed when so many private sector jobs are available?", by examining and identifying factors for Emirati job satisfaction. More than 1,000 Emirati participants employed in both public and private sectors responded to a quantitative survey rating aspects of job satisfaction. Quantitative data, supported by open ended responses, indicated that culturally friendly work environments and flexibility to manage family responsibilities were the most important factors for job satisfaction and employment decisions most Emiratis and especially for Emirati women. The study concludes that the most important factor for young Emiratis, especially women, is a workplace aligned with the culture in which they operate embodying the concept of holistic sustainability.

“…A good fit creates good behavior [10,12,19]. A good P-E fit, for example, reduces workplace conflict [20], boosts employee motivation, and increases their commitment [21]. In this situation, employees tend to be satisfied with their job and have best chances of career success [22].…”

Limited research has evaluated the performance of physical education (PE) teachers. This study aimed to use person-environment fit and organizational support to evaluate PE teachers' work performance using multilevel analysis. The relationship between person-environment fit and performance of university physical education teachers (at the person-level) and a cross-level effect on performance of university physical education teachers of perceived organizational support (at the school-level) and a moderator effect of organizational support were examined. A total of 447 PE teachers recruited from 55 universities in Taiwan were invited to participate in this survey, with a return rate of 65.74%. Using hierarchical linear modeling, the study found that person-job fit, person-organization fit, and person-supervisor fit at individual level have positive impacts on the performance of university PE teachers. As for cross-level effect, organizational support has positive impacts on the performance of university physical education teachers. However, organizational support at school level had no significant moderating effects on the relationship between person-environment fit and the performance of university physical education teachers. The implications of the findings for both university PE teachers and administrators and suggestions for future research are discussed.

“…Similarly, studies on person-job fit were limited to those that were done in abroad (e.g. Caldwell & O'Reilly, 1990;Carless, 2005); Hecht & Alle, 2003;Erdogan & Bauer, 2005;Behery, 2009). Given the importance of both employees' job performance and the service SMEs in Malaysia, the aim of this research is to ascertain whether employee competency and person-job fit is significantly related to the employee's job performance.…”

The small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have contributed to the economic growth and competitiveness of many countries. However, as the SMEs continue to grow as an important entity in many economies including Malaysia, many factors have dampened such progress. While previous studies had focused on its macro perspective in terms of firm level and industry level performance, this study attempted to address the basic issue of SMEs employees in terms of their job performance. This study is underpinned by the theory of job performance and further supported by the theory of congruence. The main objective of this research is to investigate on the relationship that may exist between three variables comprised of competency, person-job fit and the employees’ job performance in the context of service SMEs. Using a quantitative method, a sample of 324 responses was collected using a mail survey from 1500 distributed questionnaires. Results show significant relationships between competency, person-job fit and the job performance of employees. Conclusions and implications of the study were discussed
