A Review of Person—Environment Fit Research: Prospects for Personnel Selection

Abstract

Person–environment (P–E) fit, or the match between individuals and their environment, has been the focus of much research in the past thirty years. Few researchers have addressed the possible role of P–E fit in personnel selection. Recruiters aim to select those applicants who occupy the capacities that are necessary for the job and who fit with the organization. The latter topic has received far less attention in the selection literature than the first one. To fill this void, I will discuss the outcomes of P–E fit research in the context of personnel selection. The aim of this chapter is to explore the possible utility of including P–E fit in selection procedures.
