Perceived Person-Organization Fit scale

Description

This measure, (Perceived Person-Organization Fit) developed by Cable and Judge (1996), uses three items to directly assess an employee’s perception of his or her fit with an organization.

Reliability 

Cable and Judge (1996) found that coefficient alpha was .87.

Validity

Perceived person-organization fit correlated positively with employee per­ ceptions of their person-job fit, job satisfaction, organizational commit­ ment, willingness to recommend the organization to others, and employee rating of the importance of person-job fit (Cable & Judge, 1996).
