Study Notes
- Person-environment (P-E) fit theories, also known as trait-and-factor theories, propose that an individual's capabilities meeting the job's requirements and job features matching an individual's desires are key drivers of their career success, satisfaction, and persistence.
- Theory of Work Adjustment (TWA) is one of the oldest career theories, developed by Dawis and Lofquist, which includes both a predictive model and a process model.
- TWA focuses on an individual's needs/values and skills/abilities, job requirements in relation to abilities and skills, and job reinforcers in relation to values and needs.
- TWA posits that satisfaction arises when an individual's needs are met by the job reinforcers, while effective performance, or satisfactoriness, results when an individual's abilities meet job requirements.
- Long-term tenure and career persistence are predicted to occur when both forms of correspondence are present.
- When there is mismatch, the TWA process model suggests individuals and environments pursue different adjustment strategies: tolerating mismatch, changing oneself, or changing the other party.
- TWA's hypotheses have received substantial empirical support and have been incorporated into various other P-E fit models in organizational research.
- Holland's Theory of Vocational Personality Types and Work Environments is the most influential P-E fit theory in vocational psychology.
- Holland's theory organizes individuals and work environments around six "types" or dimensions (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Convention), primarily based on interests in jobs and work activities.
- Holland's theory predicts that a match between an individual's type and their occupation is a major contributor to satisfaction, performance, tenure, and other important work outcomes.
- Holland's theory has been popular due to its parsimony and the wide latitude it offers for interpretations of the factor definitions, but research on its predictions has faced methodological challenges.
- Critics of Holland's theory argue that congruence, assessed using some forms of index that discard numerical scale values, shows weak relationships with satisfaction, performance, and other outcomes.
- Predictions of Holland's theory, particularly regarding the structure of interests, are frequently evaluated uncritically.
