Assessing Person‐Organization Fit in Personnel Selection: Guidelines for Future Research

Assessing Person‐Organization Fit in Personnel Selection: Guidelines for Future Research In response to theory and research suggesting that positive individual and organizational outcomes are associated with person‐organization fit, there is growing interest in the use of personnel selection practices to achieve fit between individuals and organizations. Research is needed to confirm the value of assessing applicant‐organization fit in the selection process and to test alternative approaches for measuring the match between applicants and organizations. This article provides guidance for future research on the assessment of applicant‐organization fit. Criteria for assessing applicant‐organization fit are indentified and four techniques for assessing fit are then evaluated in the light of these criteria. In addition, the article identifies issues that should be addressed in future research on applicant‐organization fit. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Selection and Assessment Wiley

Abstract

In response to theory and research suggesting that positive individual and organizational outcomes are associated with person‐organization fit, there is growing interest in the use of personnel selection practices to achieve fit between individuals and organizations. Research is needed to confirm the value of assessing applicant‐organization fit in the selection process and to test alternative approaches for measuring the match between applicants and organizations. This article provides guidance for future research on the assessment of applicant‐organization fit. Criteria for assessing applicant‐organization fit are indentified and four techniques for assessing fit are then evaluated in the light of these criteria. In addition, the article identifies issues that should be addressed in future research on applicant‐organization fit.
