Examining the Relationship between Person-Organization Fit and Organizational Citizenship Behavior: The Case of an Educational Institution

In this research, we examine the relationship between person-organization fit and organizational citizenship behavior via a study conducted at the University of Isfahan, Iran. The study was conducted using the field-descriptive method. Some research hypotheses about the relationship between each of the dimensions of person-organization fit and organization citizenship behaviour were developed and tested. These dimensions include workplace convergence, KSA (knowledge/skills/abilities) congruence, goals congruence, values congruence, and personality congruence, as dimensions of person-organization fit. Statistical population of the research included senior and junior non-academic staff and managers at various levels in the University of Isfahan. A sample size of 132 employees was randomly selected from a total of 184 employees at the different levels using stratified random sampling method. The results revealed that there is a significant relationship between dimensions of person-organization fit and organizational citizenship behavior
