Özet
Congruence between the employees and the organization which is often called the person-organization (P-O) fit is the main theme of this article. Previous research about P-O fit (Cable and De Rue, 2002; Hoffman and Woehr, 2006; Lauver and Kristof-Brown, 2001; Nelson and Billsberry, 2007; O’Reilly and Chatman, 1986; Sekiguchi, 2004) revealed that a high level of congruence creates positive outcomes for both employees and organizations. In this context, this study attempts to explore the relationships between the P-O fit and job attitudes and behaviors of Turkish academics (e.g., organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behaviors, and the intention to quit of Turkish academicians). In order to test the hypotheses empirically; data was collected from academicians of a State University located in Turkey. After the reliability, correlation and regression analysis, the study was concluded by discussing its implications, limitations, and future research concerning the P-O fit. © 2015, Econjournals.
