| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the study was to examine the level of person-job fit, understand the challenges of maintaining desired person-job fit and identify strategies that may be employed to improve person-job fit at De-Zyn Forum Uganda limited. The researcher used a descriptive cross-sectional survey design that utilized a quantitative approach in the analysis of the findings. A sample size of 56 employee was drawn from the total population of 65. Primary data was collected using self-administered questionnaires with closed ended questions gauged on a 5-Likert scale. The researcher used proportionate simple random sampling technique to identify the respondents for the study and data was analyzed using SPSS to establish the reliability and descriptive statistics. The findings of the research indicated that the level of person-job fit in De-Zyn Forum Uganda limited is quite poor and low as shown from a grand mean of 3.08. The findings of the research showed that respondents agreed with a grand mean of 4.40 on challenges of maintaining desired person-job fit in De-Zyn Forum Uganda Limited. The findings of the study revealed that respondents agreed with a grand mean of 4.07 on strategies that may be employed to improve person-job fit at De-Zyn Forum Uganda Limited. The findings revealed that respondents agreed with a grand mean of 4.40 that role ambiguity, failure to match the person to the defined role, ever changing working environment, failure to clearly define the needs of specific roles, lack of self-initiated behaviors, lack of career initiative and lack of concern on employee needs and wellbeing are the challenges of maintaining desired person-job fit. Hence the study recommends that there is need for employees to be matched with jobs that are in line with their natural talents and passions so as to increase productivity. The organization should also provide clearer job roles and responsibilities together with explicit job expectations from time to time to ensure satisfactory person-job fit. There is need for the organization to provide detailed and specific information about training opportunities, level of responsibility, their values, policies, and culture so that individuals can assess their person job fit. The organization can enhance the fit of an employee with the job through training, remuneration, better hiring practices and provision of high involvement practices among others. | |
