Person–Organization Fit and the Theory of Work Adjustment: Implications for Satisfaction, Tenure, and Career Success
Open accessAbstract
The Theory of Work Adjustment (TWA) posits a relation between person–environment fit and job satisfaction and tenure. However, typical studies of fit have relied on occupational environments or general organizational descriptions. The present study extends the TWA by examining person–environment fit in organizational settings that are described with a greater level of specificity than has typically been the case. Moreover, although the TWA indicates that work rewards play a moderating role in determining job satisfaction, theoretical and empirical evidence suggests that person–organization fit may have a direct influence on extrinsic measures of career success such as salary and job level attained. Therefore, in addition to testing several tenets of the TWA, the present study provides a preliminary examination of the relation between person–organization fit and career success. Results provide additional support for the efficacy of the TWA.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
