The impact of Social Dominance Orientation and Right-Wing Authoritarianism on the relation between Person–Organization fit with commitment, satisfaction, and turnover intentions

Human Resource Systems and Ethical Climates: A Resource‐Based Perspective

“…First, selecting job candidates based on the trait of authoritarianism is conducive to a rules climate. Research has demonstrated that individuals with traits of authoritarianism are more likely to follow established authority, and prefer work environments characterized by existing, traditional social conventions (Nicol, Rounding, & MacIntyre, ). Customizing the recruitment and selection process, therefore, to identify this trait would be important in determining a job candidate's sense of fit with a rules climate work environment (Nicol, ; Nicol et al, ).…”

Understanding Hospitality Employers’ Perceptions of Preemployment Testing in Determining Successful Hires

“…Moreover, P-O fit is known to depend on many intricate factors such as -selfselection, organizational selection, socialization, personal and work experiences, perceptions, personality, attitudes and type of organization‖ (Nicol, Rounding, & MacIntyre, 2011). In current literature, P-O fit has been associated with individual and organizational outcomes such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment, job performance and employee turnover (Goodman & Syyantek, 1999;Vancouver and Schmitt, 1991;Hoffman and Woehr, 2006).…”

The Moderating Role of Alienation on the Relation between Social Dominance Orientation, Right-Wing Authoritarianism, and Person-Organization Fit

“…McFarland (2005 ) and Crowson (2009 ) found that individuals scoring high on Right-Wing Authoritarianism also supported military action against Iraq. Indeed, Nicol, et al (2011 ) found Social Dominance Orientation and Right-Wing Authoritarianism predicted satisfaction and commitment through Person-Organization fi t, but this relation was moderated by the interaction between these two socio-political attitudes in an hierarchy-enhancing organization (a sample of Offi cer Cadets at a military college). Specifi cally, having high scores on Social Dominance Orientation decreased or dampened the relationship between Right-Wing Authoritarianism and Person-Organization fi t, and low scores on Social Dominance Orientation increased the relationship between Right-Wing Authoritarianism and Person-Organization fi t. Given the historical, theoretical, and empirical linkages between Social Dominance Orientation, Right-Wing Authoritarianism, and the military, a match between a person's sociopolitical views with that of the military should be very important to the person's perception of fi t.…”

“…Kahn (1990 ) suggested that if this match or fi t does not occur, employees' performance will suff er because they will not be able to immerse themselves in their work as they become emotionally and cognitively preoccupied with this lack of fi t. Empirical research on Person-Organization fi t found numerous attitudinal (e.g., satisfaction and commitment) and behavioral (e.g., organizational citizenship behaviors, performance, and turnover) benefi ts to perceiving a good match ( Verquer, Beehr, & Wagner, 2003 ;Kristof-Brown, et al , 2005 ;Hoffman & Woehr, 2006 ). Although there is substantial research evidence supporting the benefi ts of a good Person-Organization fi t, less research has studied what creates the perception of a good match between the employee and his/her organization (e.g., Chatman, 1991 ;Li, 2006 ;Resick, Baltes, & Shantz, 2007 ;Saks, Uggerslev, & Fassina, 2007 ;Andrews, Baker, & Hunt, 2010 ;Nicol, Rounding, & MacIntyre, 2011 ;Wang, Zhan, McCune, & Truxillo, 2011 ). This research explores some of the variables that may be implicated in creating a good match in order to gain a better understanding of the Person-Organization fi t construct.…”

“…For instance, Jansen and Kristof-Brown's model of multidimensional Person-Environment fi t implies there is a direct relation between various types of fi t assessment (e.g., fi t with the vocation or job) and the personality traits of agreeableness and conscientiousness as well as social value and achievement. Nicol, et al (2011 ) found evidence that two sociopolitical attitudes, Social Dominance Orientation and Right-Wing Authoritarianism, are related with Person-Organization fi t. Although individual diff erence variables are acknowledged as playing a role in Person-Organization fi t (e.g., Kristof, 1996 ;Barrick, Parks, & Mount, 2005 ), very little empirical research has examined the impact of individual diff erence variables on Person-Organization fi t (e.g., Nicol, et al , 2011 ;Zhang & Gowan, 2012 ).…”
