Workplace microaggressions are related to person–organization fit (P-O fit) and job satisfaction. Additionally, P-O fit and calling predict job satisfaction. Given the religious connotations of calling, research has excluded study of these relationships in nonreligious samples, a growing segment of the U.S. population. To address this, it was predicted that P-O fit would mediate the relationship between microaggressions and job satisfaction, and calling would moderate the relationship between microaggressions and P-O fit. In a sample of 296 nonreligious employed adults, microaggressions predicted job satisfaction, while calling predicted P-O fit and job satisfaction; however, P-O fit did not mediate these relationships, and calling did not moderate microaggressions and P-O fit. Post hoc analyses revealed that calling moderated microaggressions and job satisfaction. Implications for research and vocational guidance with nonreligious individuals are discussed.

The notion that justice perceptions greatly influence behaviors and attitudes at work has been supported in the organizational behavior literature. Given the significant increase of Hispanic employees in the U.S. workforce in the last two decades, more research is needed to understand how justice relates to important outcomes in this population. The present study uses social exchange theory to examine conflict as a mediator of the relationship between justice and overall job satisfaction, and three individual facets of job satisfaction in a sample of 154 working Hispanic young adults in a variety of jobs. Findings indicate that conflict mediates the relationship between each dimension of justice and overall job satisfaction, and between two out of three examined facets of job satisfaction. The results provide evidence for the importance of justice perceptions in determining the attitudes and behaviors of Hispanic employees in the workplace.

The purpose of this quantitative, correlational study, based on the theoretical framework of transformational leadership, was to examine the relationships between leadership style, organizational culture, and job satisfaction in the U.S. healthcare industry. The study addressed a problem faced by U.S. healthcare leaders, who are currently unaware as to how transformational leadership and organizational culture can impact job satisfaction in an industry with high burnout and low satisfaction levels. The following research questions were posed: (1) Is there a statistically significant relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction in the U.S. healthcare industry? (2) Is there a statistically significant relationship between organizational culture and job satisfaction in the U.S. healthcare industry? (3) Is the relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction in the U.S. healthcare industry mediated by organizational culture? Data to answer the research questions were collected through simple random sampling processes that resulted in a sample of 111 American healthcare employees and analyzed with Stata software. The main finding of the study was that an apparent effect of transformational leadership on job satisfaction disappeared when organizational culture variables were taken into consideration. The results suggest that healthcare organizations should attempt to move away from externally focused cultures in order to increase job satisfaction. Such a move could improve social outcomes by improving the quality of work for millions of stressed American healthcare employees.

Although the positive effect of Person-Organization fit (P-O fit) on work attitudes is well known, research into the environmental factors that affect P-O fit’s salience in predicting work attitudes is in its infancy. This study examined the moderating effects of organizational culture in the relationship between P-O fit and work attitudes such as job satisfaction, and organizational commitment in the national culture context. Results from a sample of 173 managerial-level employees from 7 organizations in India suggest that organizational culture either strengthens or weakens the positive relationship between P-O fit and work attitudes depending upon its alignment with national culture. In the Indian cultural context, it is found that people and control-oriented organizational cultures that are isomorphic with national culture weaken the relationship between P-O fi t and work attitudes. Whereas creation and market-oriented cultures that are non-isomorphic with Indian national culture strengthen the positive relationship between P-O fi t and work attitudes. Results of this study have implications in employee selection, socialization and organizational culture management.   Keywords: Person-organization fit, organizational culture, national culture, job satisfaction, organizational commitment.

The first purpose of the study was to examine the mediating effect of work engagement and job satisfaction on the relationship between work values and organizational commitment. And the second purpose was to examine the moderating effect of person-organization fit on the relationship of work values and work engagement, organizational commitment. The survey data were gathered from 253 employees in Korea. As results, intrinsic work values had more positive effects on organizational commitment than extrinsic work values. Work engagement and job satisfaction sequentially mediated in the relationship between intrinsic/extrinsic work values and organizational commitment. Also, person- organization fit did not moderate the association between intrinsic/extrinsic work values and work engagement, but person-organization fit had moderating effect on the link between intrinsic/extrinsic work values and organizational commitment. This results indicated that the relation of intrinsic work values to organizational commitment was stronger when person-organization fit was high than low. The relation of extrinsic work values to organizational commitment was positive when person-organization fit was high, but the relation was negative when person-organization fit was low. Implications and directions for the future research were discussed.

The tendency of low Intention to stay among millennial generation employees is an essential concern for an organization. The difference in characteristics from the previous generation is a factor that can be considered. The suitability of individual values and values applied in the organization (P-O Fit) can be a way for organizations to retain and attract millennial generation employees. The primary purpose of this research is to analyze Person-Organization Fit (P-O Fit) and its influence on the intention to stay of millennial employees. Moreover, this study investigates the role of job satisfaction in mediating the relationship between P-O Fit and Intention to stay. Data were collected from 151 millennial employees working in Regional Government Bank located within Bandung. The hypothesized relationships were tested and analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that P-O Fit has a positive and significant effect on intention to stay. Moreover, job satisfaction mediates the relationship between P-O Fit and intention to stay.

The purpose of this study is to meta-analyze the relationship between person-environment fit(person- organization fit and person-job fit) and job-related variables(organizational commitment, job satisfaction and turnover intention), and to investigate whether the relationship is moderated by organizational typology(public organization and private organization). A total of 15,589 employees from 51 samples were included and meta-analyzed using Hunter and Schmidt(2004)’s procedure. Based on Hunter and Schmidt(2004)’s procedure, we corrected sampling errors as well as measurement errors of individual studies to estimate true mean correlations between person-environment fit and job-related variables. The results suggest that there are positive correlations between person-environment fit and organizational commitment, job satisfaction, but negative correlations between person-environment fit and turnover intention. In addition, the subgroups analysis results indicate that the correlations between person-environment fit and job-related variables tend to be stronger for private organization. We discussed this results as compared to existing research studies using foreign samples and suggested implications, direction for future research and limitations.

Our aim was to better understand the relationship between person–environment fit (PE fit) and several work-related outcomes, that is, burnout, job satisfaction, and turnover intention. To achieve this goal, direct effects of PE fit on these variables were explored as well as the indirect effects of PE fit on turnover intention through burnout and job satisfaction. The study was conducted on an occupationally heterogenous sample of 571 employees in France. Four types of fit were taken into account (person–job fit [PJ fit], person–organization fit [PO fit], person–group fit [PG fit], and person–supervisor fit [PS fit]). Correlations, regression, and mediation analyses were performed. Results indicated that the four dimensions of PE fit were positively related to job satisfaction and negatively associated with burnout and turnover intention. PJ fit and PO fit were more strongly correlated with these three work-related outcomes than PG fit and PS fit. Mediation analyses indicated that job satisfaction fully mediated the relationship between PJ fit, PO fit, PS fit, and turnover intention, while burnout partially mediated these relationships.

Turnover intention is becoming a critical issue in most organization. Employees’ are leaving their job due to an alternative job offer with an attractive salary and employment benefits, supportive supervisors and a better work environment. The study examines the relationship between job satisfaction on employee turnover intention as well as the mediating effect of person-organization (P-O) fit among insurance agents in Malaysia. The study adopts a quantitative research methodology by surveying 184 insurance agents in Sabah, Malaysia in 2019. Four hypotheses were tested with validated measures of job satisfaction (pay, supervision and communication), turnover intention and person-organization fit. The study revealed that job satisfaction (pay and supervision) has a significant and negative impact to turnover intention. In addition, job satisfaction (communication in organization) has a significant and positive impact to turnover intention. However, person-organization fit found to be not significantly mediates the relationship. The study suggested that organizations should acknowledge the importance of pay, supervision and communication in organization to improving employees’ motivation and retention in organization. The three elements of job satisfaction could improve and promote harmonious and positive work environment.
