that in weak corporate cultures, individuals had a difficult time defining the existing
corporate culture to compare the corporate culture to his or her values. Results
demonstrated a longer employment, but not necessarily a durable person-organization fit.
Del Campo suggested additional research in this area of study as his findings were
conclusive but were perhaps only valid on a small scale. A significant success of this
study was the ability for organizations to quantify corporate culture, to strengthen the
organization’s ability to perform a strong person organization fit study, and add to the
knowledge of leadership.............
Amos and Weathington (2008) studied the relationship between individuals and
organizations. The study assumed that individuals who found his or her employment was
a good fit with an organization's goals and values exhibited a positive state of mind and
demeanor. The determinants of a positive fit between employee and organization
included work environment, personality, and values (Amos & Weathington, 2008). In
addition, the study focused on evaluating the high value correlation with high job and
organizational satisfaction and higher employee retention. Results of the research showed
that when an employee believed the organization valued their work product, they
obtained greater job satisfaction. Amos and Weathington (2008) found that employees
who believed an organization’s values matched his or her values had a greater attachment
to the organization. This resulted in a higher percentage of long-term employment
relationships than those individuals who did not have the same perception. When the
individual and organizational values were not positively correlated, the employee
generally had a greater propensity to terminate employment prematurely............
Recommendations from the study included considering comparing candidate values to
