HOW PERSON JOB-FIT AND PERSON ORGANIZATION FIT AFFECT INTENTION TO STAY IN GENERATION Z EMPLOYEES
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to examine the effect of Person-Organization Fit (P-O fit) and Person-Job Fit (P-J fit) on Intention to Stay (ITS) in Generation Z employees. Generation Z is known to have a tendency to leave the company more easily when they feel unsuitable. A good fit between the individual and the organization (P-O fit) is assumed as a potential contribution to an increase in intention to stay because it builds a stronger emotional bond with the company. Meanwhile, good individual-job fit (P-J fit) makes employee’s feel they have opportunities to grow, thus encouraging them to continue contributing to the organization. This study uses a quantitative approach with regression methods to analyze data obtained from 149 Generation Z employee’s (73 men and 76 women). All participants had a minimum of one year of work experience and a minimum education level of senior high school (SMA/SMK). The regression analysis results show that there is a significant impact of P-O fit and P-J fit towards ITS. The effect of P-O fit on ITS is 56%, while the effect of P-J fit on ITS is 61.9%. This research is expected to contribute to the understanding of the importance of the fit between individuals and organizations as well as jobs, so that companies can enhance the intention to stay of Generation Z employees in the company.
