Abstract

This　study　examined　the　interactive　effects　of　person　Corganization　(PO)　fit　and　friendship　centrality　on　self-verification　perceptions,　and　the　effects　of　self-verification　perceptions　on　job　performance　and　citizenship　behaviors.　Based　on　a　sample　of　135　employee　supervisor　pairs　and　on　multilevel　analyses,　results　revealed　a　positive　relationship　between　PO　fit　and　self-verification　perceptions.　However,　the　association　between　PO　fit　and　self-　verification　perceptions　was　facilitated　by　friendship　centrality.　Specifically,　the　relationship　between　PO　fit　and　self-verification　perception　was　positive　and　significant　when　friendship　centrality　was　high,　but　insignificant　when　friendship　centrality　was　low.　In　addition,　self-verification　perception　was　positively　and　significantly　associated　with　job　performance　and　citizenship　behaviors　toward　the　organization　and　coworkers.
