Abstract

Data　obtained　from　subordinate–supervisor　dyads　(N　=　314)　of　a　large　manufacturing　company　in　South　Korea　were　used　to　test　a　moderated　mediation　model　of　the　processes　linking　person–organization　(P–O)　fit　and　employee　work　attitudes　and　behaviors.　The　results　revealed　that　the　influence　of　P–O　fit　on　work　attitudes　and　behaviors　was　indirect　through　perceived　social　exchange　with　organization.　In　addition,　the　relationship　between　P–O　fit　and　perceived　social　exchange　with　organization　was　moderated　by　leader–member　exchange　(LMX)　quality.　Specifically,　a　high-quality　LMX　enhanced　the　positive　effects　of　P–O　fit　on　perceived　social　exchange　with　organization.
