Abstract

Research investigating the role of fit between individuals and their work environments employs a growing number of measures assessing subsets of work environments. Global perceptions of fit should be useful in anchoring research studies and developing the literature. In this study, two measures of global fit perceptions are developed and initial validity data are offered. Using data from 363 upper-division college students in a simulated job search scenario, evidence of the unidimensionality, reliability, and predictive validity is provided. Suggestions are provided for use of these measures of global perceptions to advance research in Person-Environment fit.
