Abstract

Companies that wish to compete in successfully way within the dynamic markets should be ready for implementing changes in their organizational operations. One of the most key points of changing is the understanding of people and organizations perceiving their changes. (Tortorella and Fogliatto,2014) Person-organization fit refers to the compatibility that occurs between persons and their organizations. In other words, when some of them provides what the other needs, they share their similar characteristics or both of them. Researchers that interested in shared values saw that p-o fit has positive impact on both parties (Lawrence and Lawrence, 2010). If there is no matching between the employees’ characteristics and the job characteristics. The employee may seek for alternate job prospect. (Chhabra,2015)
