International Journal of Psychological Studies, 2010, vol. 2, issue 2, 81

Abstract: Most previous studies of Person-Environment fit have failed to use objective measures of the work environmentthat are independent of the person examined. The current research investigated the moderating role of group size(an objective measure obtained from company records), on the relationship between intelligence and paysatisfaction. The intelligence was measured as general intelligence or “g†and “reasoning†. On the basis of datafrom 257 shop-floor workers in a factory, results indicated that group size moderated the relationship betweenintelligence and satisfaction with pay - the relationship was negative in large groups and positive in smallgroups.
