Abstract:

In the business world, competition is increasing day by day with globalization. The fact that organizations are one step ahead compared to other organizations is directly proportional to the most effective use of their resources. One of the most important resources that can help organizations gain competitive advantage is their employees. In order to benefit from this resource effectively, it is important for the employees to fit to the organization and be satisfied with the job. In this study, first of all, person fit in the workplace, person-organization fit and job satisfaction are explained. Afterwards, the attraction-selection-attrition model and the job characteristics model were mentioned and the meaningful and positive relationship between person-organization fit and job satisfaction has been tried to be explained based on these two models. By examining the literature, the relationship between person-organization fit and job satisfaction has been supported by empirical studies. As a result, recommendations were made regarding the practices in organizations and further studies.
