“…Thus, whereas environmental congruence may suffice to stimulate or enhance satisfaction, it is not a necessary condition. Statistically, this implies a curvilinear relation between congruence and satisfaction, an interpretation that is in line with Chartrand and Walsh (1999), Hesketh and Gardner (1993), Salomone and Pask-McCartney (1990), and Salomone and Sheehan (1985) as well as with a study on the function of leisure activities (Melamed, Meir, & Samson, 1995).…”

The study examined the relation between variables of environmental congruence (or Person-environment fit; P-E fit) and group importance on the one hand and variables of satisfaction and somatic complaints on the other. Participants were 267 paratroopers who belonged to 35 units (environments). Both the diadic and the census methods were used to assign congruence scores. Findings showed (a) group importance correlated .55 and -.25 (p < .05) with satisfaction and somatic complaints, respectively, while congruence did not show significant correlations; (b) The nonlinear examination of the relationships showed a significant (p < .05) main effect for group importance on satisfaction and for the interaction of group importance and congruence both on satisfaction and on somatic complaints. It is suggested on the basis of these and earlier findings that group importance is a sufficient condition for satisfaction and that congruence interacts with it to enhance satisfaction. The superiority of the diadic method was not statistically confirmed.

“…By contrast, a predictive effect of person–occupation fit on job and academic performance could not be consistently confirmed (Allen & Robbins, 2010; Meir, Esformes, & Friedland, 1994). Furthermore, a positive effect of person–occupation fit on vocational and career stability could not be empirically substantiated either (Breeden, 1993; Salomone & Sheehan, 1985).…”

“…These four all consciously rejected a performing career, pursuing tertiary education in unrelated fields. The importance of other contextual factors may explain why effects sizes for tests of Holland's theory are generally moderate (Gottfredson & Holland, 1990;Martin & Bartol, 1986) and in some cases absent (Meir & Navon, 1992;Salomone & Sheehan, 1985). Our work suggests that the career stage at which congruence between personality and propensity to change are measured may have an important impact on the strength of the relationship.…”

Career Paths for Managers in the Arts

In this article we examine the career paths of top-level managers in the arts. By analysing the training and work history of 23 managers in a variety of arts organisations we evaluate the utility of several existing theories for understanding careers that are characterised by low levels of initial knowledge, the absence of a clear method of entry and the influence of a central interest in artistic activity. Our findings show that while both boundaryless and protean models shed some light on the career trajectories of arts managers, theories based on personality and identity have a large part to play in explaining their choices. The factors describing patterns of movement exhibited by arts managers are likely to be applicable to other groups emerging into a less structured, rapidly changing employment context.
