The mediation role of person-job fit in effect of agreeable personality to work alienation

In today's dynamic business environment, the fit between the employee's agreeable personality and employee's job has a significant impact on both the management level and the business in general, in partially reducing the negative effects such as alienation from work caused by the employee or the employer. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of the agreeable personality structure, which results in positive attitudes and behaviors, in affecting work alienation, and the mediation role of the person-job fit (PJ), which develops as a result of the fit between the individual characteristics of employees and their expectations from work, and their job, in the effect of agreeable personality on work alienation. This study was made to employees at Ankara Esenboğa and Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen airports, which are used extensively in the civil aviation sector. There is any research has been found in the literature in which the variables of agreeable personality, work alienation, and person-job fit are analyzed together. For this reason, it is thought that the research results will raise awareness for both management level and employees in the civil aviation sector and also contribute to the literature. Quantitative research method was used in the research design, and the data was obtained using a survey form and a 5-point Likert scale. A total of 403 valid surveys were obtained in the research. The hypothesis created within the scope of the research model was tested using IBM SPSS and PROCESS 3.2. (Model 4) program. As a result of the research, it was found that agreeable personality had a negative effect on work alienation and a positive effect on person-job fit, that there was a negative relationship between person-job fit and work alienation, and that person-job fit played a mediation role in the relationship between agreeable personality and work alienation.
