Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the relationships among the personorganisation
fit, organisational commitment and organisational citizenship
behaviour. The study was based on a sample of 200 employees, with the return rate
of 60% and the usable return rate of 54%. Correlation and regression analyses
were used to analyse data. The results revealed the positive and significant
relationships between the person-organisation fit and organisational commitment;
person-organisation fit and organisational citizenship behaviour; and
organisational commitment and organisational citizenship behaviour. Contrary to
expectations, the person-organisation fit had direct effects on organisational
citizenship behaviour, and was not mediated by organisational commitment. The
person-organisation fit and organisational commitment had higher associations
with organisational citizenship behaviour directed at the organisation (OCBO)
than organisational citizenship behaviour directed at other employees (OCBI), in a
way partly supporting the phenomenon of ‘target similarity effects’. The
implications for theory and practice are discussed.
