The research on person-organization fit has attracted the attention of both scholars and managers in recent years. During organizational transformation, it is very important to have employees who can identify with the administration of the company and struggle for the company's future. This will enable the company to keep competitiveness and flexibility to confront environmental challenges.
In this paper, Taiwan Salt Industrial Corporation (TSIC) is chosen as the subject for case study and several methods were used; including stratified sampling method and interviews with top manager. The value construct technique modified by Cable & Judge combined with template-matching technique by Bem & Allen were adopted to study person-organization fit in the company. Then, by statistical methods, the influences of person-organization fit on organization commitment and organization citizenship behavior were predicted.
