Person-job fit

Person-job fit refers to the degree to which an individual’s skills, abilities, and interests align with the requirements and responsibilities of a specific job. When there's a good fit, the person is well-suited to perform the tasks effectively, feels more satisfied, and is likely to stay motivated. Conversely, if there's a poor fit, the person may struggle to meet job demands, feel disengaged, or experience dissatisfaction. Ensuring a strong person-job fit helps organizations improve performance, reduce turnover, and create a more positive work environment.
