The Relationship Between Person-Job Fit, Person-Organization Fit, Personality and Job Performance
description This study examines factors that influence job performance among banking employees. The study was a cross sectional study where respondents’ perception was measured at one point in time. 195 respondents participated in this study. Three factors, namely person-job fit, person-organization fit, and personality were tested in this study to understand employees’ job performance. Correlation analyses were conducted to test the relationship between person-job fit, person-organization fit, personality and job performance, whereas descriptive analysis was conducted to analyze demographic characteristics of participants. To test which factor has the significant contribution towards job performance, regression analysis was conducted. The results show that there was an association between all the three factors (person-job fit, person-organization fit and personality) and job performance. Though all the three factors indicate significant positive relationship with job performance, person-organization fit makes the strongest contribution to explain the job performance.
