Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om person-organization fit påverkar arbetstillfredsställelse. Vidare var syftet också att undersöka om kön och ålder påverkar person-organization fit och arbetstillfredsställelse. P-O fit är kongruensen mellan individens och organisationens mål eller värderingar. P-O fit är en faktor som påverkar arbetstillfredsställelse. Undersökningen utfördes genom en enkät som delades på sociala medier med totalt 106 respondenter mellan åldrarna 21 till 69. Alla deltagarna arbetade minst deltid upp till heltid. Enkäten baserades på Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) ochPerson-Organization Fit Scale (POFS). Resultatet visade att både P-O fit och ålder korrelerar med arbetstillfredsställelse. Vidare visade resultatet att män upplever högre skattad arbetstillfredsställelse. P-O fit är därför en viktig faktor som influerar den anställda att nå en hög arbetstillfredsställelse, eftersom en anställd vill arbeta på en organisation som är i samma linje som ens egna värderingar. Genom att uppleva hög arbetstillfredsställelse ökar även flexibiliteten vilket vidare bidrar till mer effektivt arbete från arbetstagaren.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether person-organization fit affects job satisfaction. Furthermore, the purpose was also to investigate whether gender and age affect person-organization fit and job satisfaction. P-O fit is the congruence between the individual's or the organization's goals or values. P-O fit is a factor that affects work satisfaction. The survey was constructed and shared on social media with a total of 106 respondents between the ages of 21 to 69. All participants worked at least part-time with most full-time. The survey was based on the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) and the Person-Organization Fit Scale (POFS). The result showed that both P-O fit and age correlate with job satisfaction. Furthermore, the results showed that men experience higher estimated work satisfaction. P-O fit is therefore an important factor that influences the employee to achieve a high level of job satisfaction, since an employee wants to work at an organization that is in the same line as one's own values. By experiencing high job satisfaction, flexibility also increases, which further contributes to more efficient work on the part of the employee.
