(2018) PSYP01 20181Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- This study aimed to investigate on the employees in new ventures and focused on the perceived person-job fit and person-organization fit among staff members working in Swedish and Danish start-ups. Additionally, this study intended to understand how the perceived fit affects the employees’ job satisfaction and turnover intention.

- This study aimed to investigate on the employees in new ventures and focused on the perceived person-job fit and person-organization fit among staff members working in Swedish and Danish start-ups. Additionally, this study intended to understand how the perceived fit affects the employees’ job satisfaction and turnover intention. Moreover, this research was interested to see whether the start-ups age moderates the relation between person-organization fit and job satisfaction/turnover intention, as well as the relation between Person-Job fit and job satisfaction/turnover intention. This study hypothesized that workers with a perceived person-job fit and person-organization fit would also have a high job satisfaction and a lower interest to leave their workplace. A cross sectional study was conducted, using self-report measures in an online survey (N = 197). The results showed that start-up employees with a perception of person job and person-organization fit also sensed job satisfaction and a low turnover intention. Therefore, this research’s findings fell in line with results from previous studies. Furthermore, the start-up age was not found to moderate the tested relationships, indicating that Person-Organization and Person-Job fit seem to be important for both young and well-established start-ups.
