This study uses a cross-sectional survey of front-line police officers from eight mid-sized municipal police departments in three states to evaluate the relationships between officers’ perceptions of self-legitimacy and their perceptions of shared values with others in the organizational environment. Drawing from person-environment fit theory, the study asked respondents to rate their perceived value congruence with top managers, supervisors, and coworkers. Using structural equation modeling, the analysis explores the multidimensional aspects person-environment fit. The results indicate that value congruence is a significant predictor of officers’ self-legitimacy.
