Abstract
The current trends in the international business have been giving rise to increased cultural interactions, reflected in the rapid
global movements. In this dramatically changing environment, all companies are seeking the most effective way for integrating
workforce into the organisational structure and for achieving the stated objectives and further expansion. Therefore “matching the
right people with the right organisation” is the prerequisite for satisfactory performance of recruitment process. This is
particularly true when taking the subtle nuances of culture into account. Cultures across the world have a significant effect on
perceiving various elements that occur in working life. The match between this culturally developed individual value orientation
and the nature of corporate culture is referred to as person-organisation fit (P-O fit). This paper presents one conceptualization of
P-O fit. Initially, it introduces the results of two surveys to support the intention to develop an effective tool for incorporating the
assessment of cultural congruence into the recruitment process and later on it focuses on defining P-O fit as one of the working
environment related fits and its benefits and limitations.
