| Abstract: | Person-culture fit and its applications for work attitudes and behaviour are examined. Recent developments in the applications of Q-sort, or temple-matching, approaches are used to resolve some of the measurement issues that have hindered previous research on fit. Using longitudinal data from accountants and M.B.A. students and cross-sectional data from employees of government agencies and public accounting firms, an instrument for assessing person-organization fit, the Organizational Culture Profile /OCP/ is developed and validated. Results suggest that the dimensionality of individual preferences for organizational cultures and the existence of these cultures are interpretable. |
