Socio-demographic predictors of person–organization fit

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and the level of complementary and supplementary person-organization fit (P-O fit). Material and Methods: The study sample was a group of 600 Polish workers, urban residents aged 19-65. Level of P-O fit was measured using the Subjective Person-Organization Fit Questionnaire by Czarnota-Bojarska. The binomial multivariate logistic regression was applied. The analyzes were performed separately for the men and women. Results: Socio-demographic variables explained small percentage of the outcome variability. Gender differences were found. In the case of men shift work decreased complementary and supplementary fit, while long working hours decreased complementary fit. In the women, age was a stimulant of a complementary fit, involuntary job losses predicted both complementary and supplementary misfit. Additionally, relational responsibilities increased probability of supplementary P-O fit in the men. Conclusions: Going beyond personality and competences as the factors affecting P-O fit will allow development of a more accurate prediction of P-O fit.

An Empirical Study on the Impact From the Antecedents of Person Organisation Fit Affecting a Wrist Watch Manufacturing Unit in Tamil Nadu

“…Dorota and Andysz analysed fifteen socio-demographic variables and work characteristics that could impact P-O fit and found that only a few were significantly associated with P-O fit such as social relationships, time demands, work shifts schedule systems, depression, health and functioning, employment history etc. They also found that demographic variables in general were not an important predictor of good P-O fit for both the genders [33].…”

Work-life balance practices and organizational cynicism: The mediating role of person-job fit

“…For instance, HRM practices (e.g., training, compensation, development, and growth opportunities ( Kakar et al, 2019b ; Uppal, 2020 ; Samad et al, 2022 ), and organizational support ( Tseng and Yu, 2016 ) have an important effect on PJF. Similarly, long working hours ( Merecz-Kot and Andysz, 2017 ) and work demands, among other factors, have a significant impact on PJF.…”

Enhancing the lodging experience through ethical leadership

“…A majority of studies devoted to the predictors of person-organization fit have revolved around the role of individual characteristics such as personal traits, values and professional competencies (Merecz-Kot and Andysz, 2017). Person-organization fit is related to several outcomes including work performance and work attitudes, turnover, teamwork effectiveness, organizational citizenship behaviors, creativity, stress and well-being (Merecz-Kot and Andysz, 2017).…”
