Person-organisation fit (P-O fit) is a predictor of work attitude. However, in the area of human resource for health, the literature of P-O fit is quite limited. It is unclear whether P-O fit directly or indirectly affects turnover intention. This study aims to examine the mediation effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between P-O fit and turnover intention based on data from China.
Design and methodsThis is a cross-sectional survey of community health workers (CHWs) in China in 2013. A questionnaire of P-O fit, job satisfaction and turnover intention was developed, and its validity and reliability were assessed. Multiple regression and structural equation modelling were used to examine the relationship among P-O fit, job satisfaction and turnover intention.
Setting and participantsMultistage sampling was applied. In total, 656 valid questionnaire responses were collected from CHWs in four provincial regions in China, namely Shanghai, Shaanxi, Shandong and Anhui.
ResultsP-O fit was directly related to job satisfaction (standardised β 0.246) and inversely related to turnover intention (standardised β –0.186). In the mediation model, the total effect of P-O fit on turnover intention was –0.186 (p<0.001); the direct effect of P-O fit on turnover intention was –0.094 (p<0.01); the indirect effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between P-O fit and turnover intention was –0.092 (p<0.001).
ConclusionsThe effect of P-O fit on turnover intention was partially mediated through job satisfaction. It is suggested that more work attitude variables and different dimensions of P-O fit be taken into account to examine the complete mechanism of person-organisation interaction. Indirect measures of P-O fit should be encouraged in practice to enhance work attitudes of health workers.
