Abstract
The study mainly examined the outcomes of person-group fit and the moderating roles on person-group fit. After reviewing the related literatures, however, few empirical studies had addressed this issue. Based on the purpose of bridging the existing gap in the present academic efforts, we investigated the moderating roles of individual perceptions of group politics and group political climate on relationships between person-group fit and employee work outcomes. In addition to direct influence of person-group fit on employee work outcomes, we also examined the moderating roles of individual perceptions of group politics and group political climate in the relationship between independent variables and dependent variables. he study has distributed 620 questionnaires. 576 of them were effective by surveying 45 groups. Then, we adopt descriptive statistics, reliability, correlation, etc. Because the levels of analysis in this present study were at the individual level and group level, we used hierarchical regression method to examine the moderating effect of social interaction, and HLM (hierarchical linear modeling) to test the moderating effect of individual perceptions of group politics and group political climate. The result indicated that there was a positive relationship between person-group fit and employee work outcomes. As our prediction stated, the moderating effect of individual perceptions of group politics and group political climate were significant. The result indicates that ever though the degrees of individual perceptions of group politics and group political climate are high, the relationship between person-group fit and employee work outcomes will not necessarily become stronger. Based on the result, some implications and suggestions for the academic fields and practical managers were offered for future research.
