Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of person-job fit on job performance. In the process, the moderating effect of the meaning of work and the mediating effect of work engagement was investigated. For this purpose, survey data were collected from 304 employees working at the company organization and analyzed using correlation and regression analysis. The summary of the study is as follows. First, there is a significant correlation between realistic person-job fit and perceived person-job fit. Second, perceived person-job fit is a significant predictor of job performance. Third, there is a mediating effect of work engagement in the relationship between person-job fit and job performance. Fourth, there is a moderating effect of the meaning of work in the relationship between person-job fit and work engagement. This study demonstrates the correlation of realistic and perceived person-job fit, which has not been studied in Korea before. It was found that person-job fit influences job performance through mediating emotional variables such as work engagement. From the point of view of organization managers, there is a need to provide a work environment that is appropriate for the characteristics of the employees and to manage how employees perceive person-job fit. In particular, it is necessary to support employees to recognize that their work promotes their growth and contributes to the public good. Finally, the limitations of the study and future research tasks were proposed.

본 연구에서는 개인-직무 적합도가 직무성과의 미치는 영향관계와, 그 관계에서 일의 의미의 조절효과, 직무열의의 매개효과를 살펴보았다. 이를 위하여 기업 조직에 근무하는 304명으로부터 설문 데이터를 수집하였고, 상관관계 분석 및 회귀분석을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 사실적 개인-직무 적합도와 인지된 개인-직무 적합도 간에는 유의미한 상관관계가 존재하며, 인지된 개인-직무 적합도는 직무성과를 유의하게 예측한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 개인-직무 적합도와 직무성과의 영향도 관계에서 직무열의의 매개효과가 존재하며, 개인-직무 적합도와 직무 열의의 영향도 관계에서 일의 의미의 조절효과가 존재하였다. 본 연구는 사실적 개인-직무 적합도와 인지적 개인 -직무 적합도의 상관관계를 실증하였으며, 개인-직무 적합도는 직무열의와 같은 정서적 변인을 매개로 하여 직무성과에 영향을 미친다는 것을 밝혔다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 조직 관리자의 입장에서는 채용된 직원의 특성에 적합한 직무환경을 제공하고, 직원들이 개인-직무 적합도에 대해 어떻게 인지하는지를 관리하는 방안이 필요하며, 특히 직원들이 일을 통해 자신의 성장이 촉진되고, 공공선에 기여한다는 인식을 가질 수 있도록 지원할 필요가 있음을 시사한다.
