The development of the scale of the need for meaning and the validity of the factor to test the contribution to the sub-dimensions of the work of the individual-work compatibility on the basis of the need for meaning are the main objectives of this research. The analysis was carried out with data collected from 355 people with the easy-to-access sample method. Based on the autonomy theory of the scale of self-management, the four-dimensional conceptualization in the text has given consistent results with the needs, values and legitimation needs, the need for qualification, the need for self-value. The total reliability of the measurement has given a fairly high alpha value between alpha = .95 and the reliability of the lower dimensions alpha = .85-92. The findings of the relationships between variables have supported the established hypothesis that the individual-business harmony based on the need for meaning has a positive contribution to all the subdimensions of meaningful work.

The development of needs for meaning scale and analyzing its factorial validity with the impact of needs for meaning-based person-job fit on the sub-dimensions of meaningful work are main goals of this study. Analyses were carried out by the data which were collected through convenience sampling method from 355 employees. Needs for meaning scale produces consistent results with the literature conceptualizations need for purpose, need for values and justification, need for efficacy, need for self-worth based on self-determination theory. Total reliability of the scale alpha = .95 and reliability of the subscales alpha ranging from .85 to .92 produce considerable alpha values. The findings related to relations between variables supported the hypothesis that needs for meaning-based person-job fit has a positive impact on the subscales of meaningful work
