The effect of person-organization fit on counterproductive work behaviors

In recent years, especially in the world of increasing competition, the success that organizations will achieve is very important in order to continue their existence and to make a difference between them and other organizations. In order for organizations to achieve this success, they need to establish harmony with their employees. In this context, the concept of person-organization fit shows how important it is to ensure this harmony in order for organizations to progress. While ensuring person-organization harmony directly contributes to the success of organizations, it also prevents the emergence of counterproductive work behaviors that can occur in organizations and can deeply shake the existence and success of the organization. Counterproductive work behaviors are behaviors that are performed consciously and harm the organization. There is a significant relationship between the concept of person-organization fit and the concept of counterproductive work behaviors and both concepts affect each other. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of person-organization fit on counterproductive work behaviors. Within the scope of this purpose, the research was conducted with 283 employees of an enterprise operating in the metal furniture sector in Kayseri province. According to the results of the research, person-organization fit has a significant effect on counterproductive work behaviors. At the same time, person-organization fit has a significant effect on individual and organizational counterproductive work behaviors, which are sub-dimensions of counterproductive work behaviors.
