International Journal of Psychological Studies, 2010, vol. 2, issue 2, 127

Abstract: Most previous studies of Person-Environment fit have failed to use objective measures of the work environmentthat are independent of the person examined. This study aims to further develop and improve theoperationalisation of Person-Environment fit by investigating objective fit and by marrying concepts from EquityTheory (Adams, 1965). Equity sensitivity was measured as a personality trait by the 16PF (Cattel et al 1987) andgroup size (obtained from company records) was the objective measure of the work environment. On the basis ofdata from 257 shop-floor workers in a factory in Wales, UK, results of hierarchical multiple regression generallyindicated that the relationship between sensitivity and pay satisfaction are moderated by group size such that therelationship is positive in small groups and negative in large groups.
