Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate how person-job fit affects person-organization fit and job satisfaction and whether person-organization
fit has a mediating role in this process.  For this purpose, data were collected from 282
participants working in banks. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed in
the analysis of the data, correlations between the variables were determined,
and the structural equation and goodness of fit tests of the model and
regression analysis were performed. In the analyses, it was determined that person-job fit had a significant positive effect on person-organization
fit and job satisfaction. Person-organization fit was found to have a significant positive effect on job
satisfaction. As a result of mediating analysis, person-organization fit found to have a partial mediator role in the
relationship between person-job
fit and job satisfaction.
