person–environment fit has important implications for organizations because it is critical for them to establish and maintain a “good fit” between people and their jobs. companies use a substantial amount of resources when recruiting new employees, and it is crucial for them to ensure that these new hires will align with the environment they are thrust into. furthermore, it has been theorized that person–environment fit can mediate the relation of group-specific workplace experiences with job outcomes (velez & moradi, 2012).
