| Résumé : |
Person-environment fit has become a central theme in the HRM and organizational psychology literature. It is essential to understanding the emotions, attitudes and behaviours of employees at work. While its beneficial effects have been widely documented, little attention has been paid to the knowledge and perceptions of human resource (HR) professionals regarding this concept and its inclusion in human resource management practices. The purpose of this article is to examine the knowledge and perception of HRPs with respect to the definition and consequences of individual/environment fit, and then to paint a picture of their integration into practices. It paints a descriptive picture of the definition, use and perception of HR professionals with respect to four types of individual/environment fit: person/job, person/organization, person/group and person/supervisor. The results are based on quantitative and qualitative data collected a questionnaire from 106 HR professionals working in Quebec organizations. They indicate that HR professionnals define fit primarily as the similarity or correspondence of values, and that the inclusion of fit in recruitment activities is based primarily on the dissemination of the organization''s values, vision and mission. When it comes to selection, recruiters'' intuition takes precedence over formal measurement of candidate attributes (values, personality, goals or objectives). HR professionals have a very favorable perception of the impact of fit on work attitudes and behaviors. Person/job is the type of fit that most guides other HR activities (such as training and performance management). In a context where organizations are making considerable efforts to attract and retain employees, this article sheds light on the theory and practice of HR management practices that are deployed to foster person/environment fit. |
