Person-job fit: A conceptual integration, literature review, and methodological critique.

An overview of the P-J [person-job] fit literature reveals three basic deficiencies / first, despite the common emphasis on P-J fit across many areas of OB [organizational behavior] and I/O [industrial/organizational] psychology, developments in these areas have largely occurred independently / this has produced streams of P-J fit research that are typically considered distinct, but actually share more similarities than differences / second, few attempts have been made to comprehensively review and critically evaluate empirical P-J fit research / third, empirical P-J fit research is repeatedly plagued with serious methodological problems / the purpose of this chapter is to address the deficiencies in the P-J fit literature
