Antecedents of an interviewer's fit perceptions of an applicant: the role of actual and perceived similarityGarcia, Maria Fernanda 01 November 2005 (has links)
In this dissertation I will present and test a model linking actual applicant-interviewer demographic, human capital, and cultural capital similarity to an interviewer??s recommendation to hire. Actual similarity is proposed to influence an interviewer??s perceptions of similarity with an applicant. These perceptions, in turn, lead to the interviewer??s perceptions of the applicant??s Person-Organization (PO) fit and the applicant??s Person-Job (PJ) fit. Two main mechanisms are proposed to mediate the relationship between an interviewer??s perceptions of similarity and an interviewer??s perceptions of an applicant??s fit: liking and negative behavioral expectations. Lastly, both an interviewer??s PO and PJ fit perceptions of an applicant are posited to influence the interviewer??s recommendation to hire. A total of 118 interviewer-applicant dyads contacted through the Career Center Office at a University located in the southwestern United States participated in the study. Results partially support the model. An interviewer??s perceptions of similarity with an applicant are positively related to an interviewer??s fit evaluations. An interviewer??s negative behavioral expectations of an applicant mediate this relationship. Furthermore, perceived similarity is positively related to an interviewer??s liking of an applicant. In turn, liking is positively related to an interviewer??s PO fit perceptions. However, liking does not function as a mediator between perceived similarity and fit evaluations. Finally, fit evaluations are positively related to hiring recommendations. I discuss the main implications of the study as well as strengths, limitations, and future research.

Teacher's perceptions of the hiring process in Texas public schools : information richness, position fit, and intentions to remain in the classroomMcCreary, Julia Casey 21 November 2014 (has links)
The United States Department of Education issued a blueprint in 2010 outlining intended changes for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Included was a focus on selecting effective teachers per new criteria. Information about teacher selection and assignment systems as related to teacher retention is beneficial to school district leadership as they prepare for the new federal expectations. This study extends previous research by Liu and Johnson (2006) that examined the experiences of newly hired teachers and introduced the construct of an information-rich hiring process, in which a district hiring process provides both the teacher applicant and district employer with sufficient interaction and adequate information-exchange to make informed decisions leading to a position fit of teacher to teaching position and campus. In addition to the use of an information-rich hiring process as a hypothetical construct, other theories incorporated in this research include: realistic job preview theory; human resource management theory; person-job-fit, person-organization-fit, and person-group-fit theories; and two-sided matching theory. The problem addressed in this study: The selection and assignment of teachers is often done in complex systems leading to poor matches that culminate in job dissatisfaction and teachers’ intentions to leave the classroom. The purpose of this study was to examine how newly hired teachers perceived their hiring experience and their fit with their campus and classroom assignments in order to determine if these perceptions predicted their intentions to remain in the classroom. This study used a nonexperimental approach with an ex-post facto design and a quantitative methodology to examine associations between variables. Participants in the study included 1,430 newly hired teachers at 92 campuses located across 13 Texas school districts who were administered an electronic survey instrument. / text

När magkänslan avgör : en studie mellan individ och organisation via rekryteringsprocessenNilsson, Jolin, Blomkvist, Nadja January 2013 (has links)
Att genom rekryteringsprocessen söka finna en matchning mellan individ och organisation på en bredare basis än endast yrkeskompetens blir allt vanligare. Sådan rekrytering har fokus på överensstämmande värderingar och normer mellan den arbetssökande och organisationen, som ny medarbetare ska denne passa in i organisationen och dess kultur. Byråkrati, i sin tur, är den moderna statens vanligaste organisationsform och bygger i grunden på expertis, kunskap och professionen. Om trenden går mot att rekrytera med fokus på organisationen, dess kultur och att människor ska passa in i den, vad kan det innebära? På vilket sätt påverkas professionen av detta? Denna studie undersöker hur organisationer med uttalad fokus på matchning mellan individ och organisationskultur resonerar kring sin rekrytering och den inbördes organisationskulturen. Studiens empiriska resultat utgörs av kvalitativa intervjuer med rekryteringsansvariga vid fem organisationer som sedan analyseras och diskuteras. Resultatet är att dessa organisationer anställer endast när de säkerställt en matchning mellan den nye medarbetaren och organisationen men att yrkeskunskaper samtidigt är av stor vikt. Dessa organisationer ställer sig bortom den typiska hierarkin och det verkar som att det inom somliga branscher och yrkesgrupper skett en brytning av vissa byråkratiska principer. Vi hävdar att en följd av detta kan innebära ett slags maktskifte mellan profession och organisatorisk ledning.

Rekrytera rätt : En studie om rekrytering med fokus på matchning av individ och organisation / The right recruitment : A study about recruiting with focus on matching individuals with organizationsWahlgren, Christoffer, Johansson, Anders January 2012 (has links)
Syftet med undersökningen är att skapa en förståelse för hur rekryterare tänker kring förhållandet mellan att passa in en nyanställd i organisationen (P-O fit) jämfört med att passa in en nyanställd för arbetsuppgifterna (P-J fit). För att kunna besvara syftet genomfördes en kvalitativ studie där sex intervjuer gjordes med rekryterare på olika företag som sedan tolkades med hjälp av meningskoncentrering, meningskategorisering och meningstolkning. Resultatet visade att P-O fit hade en större inverkan än P-J fit på den slutgiltiga bedömningen i rekryteringsprocessen och främst när det gällde mindre kvalificerade tjänster. Vid mer kvalificerade tjänster hade båda begreppen en likvärdig inverkan på bedömningen men det var en process där båda passformerna jämfördes med varandra och det fanns vissa minimikrav på kunskaper en person skulle ha. Utöver kunskapskravet ansågs det viktigt att personen som söktes fungerade bra med organisationen och grupperna i organisationen. För att göra en bedömning på passformen mellan individ och organisation bedömdes de sökande utifrån företagets uttalade värderingar alternativt utifrån den organisationskultur som råder inom företaget om de inte några hade uttalade värderingar. Detta utmynnade sedan till en implicit bedömning angående hur individen skulle passa in i företaget och dess kultur. / The purpose of this study is to gain insight about recruiters perceptions of the relationship between compatibility of individual and the organization (P-O fit) compared to the compatibility of individual and job assignments (P-J fit). To answer the purpose six interviews were conducted including recruiters from different companies. These interviews were later summarized using methods that shorten the answers, categorized by interesting themes and finally presented in a way that connects them with the literature. The results of the study show that P-O fit had a greater impact on the final decision of the recruitment process than P-J fit when it comes to employments with low qualifications. When the employments qualifications are higher both concepts were equally important but they were assessed together on the basis of minimum requirements for the work tasks versus how good fit would be between the individual and the groups in the organization and the organization itself. To determine the fit between the individual and the organization the applicants were assessed based on the organizational core values or if no core values were present the organizational culture. This leads to an implicit evaluation of how the individual would fit into the organization and its culture.

Personalomsättning i säljande organisationer : En kvalitativ studie om chefens roll utifrån dimensioner av person-environment fit och role stressDaniels, Eric, Persson, Mikael January 2014 (has links)
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att belysa chefens roll i förhållande till personalomsättning inom en säljande organisation, utifrån dimensioner av person-environment fit och role stress. Metod: Utifrån studiens syfte har en kvalitativ metod använts. Data har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Materialet har analyserats och redovisats med hjälp av well-grounded theory. Resultat & slutsats: Denna studie visar på chefers förståelse för vikten av att personer de anställer ska passa in i yrket och organisationen. De rekryterar främst efter personlighet och möjlighet att passa in i gruppen. Chefernas synsätt skiljer sig gällande överbelastning och stress. Det är svårt med gränsdragningen mellan privatliv och yrkesroll. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: En intressant utgångspunkt för framtida forskning kan vara att jämföra om chefers uppfattning av de dimensioner vi undersökt överensstämmer med hur de anställda upplever dem. Uppsatsens bidrag: Studien belyser dimensioner som påvisats ha samband med personalomsättning. Vi bidrar med chefens roll utifrån dessa, till skillnad från tidigare forskning som utgått från anställdas perspektiv. Nyckelord: Personalomsättning, person-job fit, person-organization fit, role overload. / Aim: The aim of this study is to highlight the manager’s role related to turnover within a selling organization, by dimensions of person-environment fit and role stress. Method: A qualitative method has been used, based on the aim of this study. Data has been collected through semi structured interviews. The empirical data has been analyzed and presented using the well-grounded theory. Result & Conclusions: This study shows the managers understanding of the importance to hire people which fit both the job and the organization. They mainly hire people based on their personality and how they fit within the group. However, their vision is different regarding the role overload and stress. Managers have a hard time to draw a line between the private life and work. Suggestions for future research: An interesting starting-point for future research could be to compare if the managers perception of our dimensions is consistent with the perceptions of the employees. Contribution of the thesis: This study highlights dimensions, which have a significant relation to employee turnover. Our contribution is the manager’s perspective of these dimensions, compared to prior research, which has the employee’s perspective. Key words: Employee turnover, person-job fit, person-organization fit, role overload.

IMPACT OF JOB CHARACTERISTICS AND RESOURCES ON PERSON-JOB FITMontgomery, Andrew Ross 01 June 2017 (has links)
Certain job characteristics have been shown to be important for improving employee job fit. In particular, the degree of autonomy and feedback employees are afforded could allow them to more effectively manage job stressors, and acquire and/or uphold the requisite skills to maintain satisfactory work performance. These job characteristics may also lead to greater job satisfaction by supporting employees’ need for continuous growth, desire for social connectedness, and fulfillment of basic psychological needs. Accordingly, a model was proposed wherein the facets of person-job fit (demands-abilities fit and needs-supplies fit) are expected to mediate the relationship between both autonomy and feedback and both employee job satisfaction and task performance. The sample contained 228 individuals who were either working professionals or employed college students. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis was used to test the direct and indirect effects. Results indicated that both autonomy and feedback increase satisfaction, but not effectiveness, by improving job fit. In summary, the findings of this study could be used for developing and implementing organizational strategies to improve or maintain person-job fit.

Predicting Maritime Pilot Selection with Personality TraitsBarca, Tara Brook 01 January 2019 (has links)
Maritime pilots provide a vital service in facilitating the safe and efficient passage of vessels into and out of ports and waterways worldwide. Lack of effective selection of maritime pilots can jeopardize the welfare of people, property, and marine ecosystems. Based on Edwards' conceptualization of person-job fit theory, this quantitative, ex post facto study was an examination of whether personality traits, as measured by the Personality Research Form E (PRF-E), could predict maritime pilot selection. The research questions were: (a) Is there a significant relationship between respondents' PRF-E scale ratings and selection for a maritime pilot job and (b) How significant is the relationship between each of the 22 PRF-E scale ratings and selection for a maritime pilot job. Using a sample of 328 maritime pilot applicants, binary logistic regression was conducted to determine if any of the PRF-E variables were significant predictors of pilot selection. The results of the logistic regression analysis illustrated a significant predictive relationship between 9 of the 22 PRF-E scales and maritime pilot selection, specifically the traits of abasement, achievement, change, cognitive structure, dominance, harmavoidance, sentience, desirability, and infrequency. Future research should examine the relationship between selected maritime pilots' personality traits and job performance. Potential contributions to positive social change include improving the capability of maritime pilot commissions and associations to make more informed and effective selection decisions. The continued assessment of maritime pilot candidates' personality traits could support the prevention of future vessel accidents, ecological damage, human injuries, and fatalities.
