Organizational citizenship behaviors have been studied by researchers for a long time in terms of voluntary behavior that members contribute for their organizational performance. In particular, there have been many researches on leading factors that increase the possibility of performing civic action due to environmental or personal characteristics in the organization. However, there is little research on the relationship between individual and organization, or environmental fit and organizational citizenship behavior. Thus, this research emphasizes the one of the factor of person-environment fit, which is person-job fit. According to this, we examine the relationship between person-job fit and organizational citizenship behavior. Furthermore, we examine that how the person-job fit influences on organizational citizenship behavior and also examine the moderating effect of perceived organizational support.
In this study, 233 questionnaires were collected from the employees who work at companies in Korea. The results showed that person - job fit was positively(+) related to organizational citizenship behavior and person - job fit positively(+) influence on organizational citizenship behavior. And perceived organizational support had a moderating effect on the relationship between person - job fit and organizational citizenship behavior. The results demonstrate that if organizational members perceive his/her characteristics of job are appropriate for their personal characteristics, they will contribute more their organizations to perform organizational citizenship behavior. Furthermore, in this process, the research explain that the higher organizational members perceive organizational support, the higher the level of organizational citizenship behavior organizational members will perform.
This research extended the previous studies on the factors affecting on organizational citizenship behavior in terms of academic. Thus, we emphasize that companies should take more attention to select members who want to contribute companies such as perform organizational citizenship behavior.
