THE NEXUS OF PERSON ORGANIZATION FIT AND PERSON JOB FIT TO JOB SATISFACTION: A CASE OF KP EDUCATIONAL

Abstract

Person job fit and person organization fit were studied with a purpose to see whether they have any
effect on job satisfaction. The study was carried out in a randomly selected sample of the 78 teachers
from 11 private and public-sector universities and colleges of Peshawar. Cross-sectional data was
collected through questionnaire. It was found that Person Job and Person Organization fits do not
affect job satisfaction, in any institution except one, which is contrary to common notion of the
positive relationship between the variables. Managers can benefit from the results of the study by
incorporating them in their recruiting practices. Keeping in mind the scope of the study the results can
only be applicable to Peshawar and its vicinity.
