Abstract

Person-organization fit, which is generally described as a degree of compatibility or similarity between the person’s values and the organization’s values, is one of the base factors required for an organization’s success. Organizations should accomplish person-organization fit in their organizations by using employee selection and hiring process which is congruence-based in cultural values or by applying socialization tactics. We proposed finding a correlation in this study between person-organization fit and job stress and conflict. In this context, we have reached some findings about person-organization fit and its outcomes by conducting a survey on employees of Dalaman International Airport. The findings showed us there is a statistically negative correlation between personorganization fit and job stress and conflict
