The purpose of this study was to examine the independent effect of Person-Organization(P-O), Person-Job(P-J), and Person-Supervisor(P-S) fit on person's attitude and behavior. Also, this study was conducted to identify whether the three types of fits have interaction effects on person's attitude and behavior. Additionally, the study examined the moderating effect of adaptability in the relationship between the various fits and person's attitude and behavior. For this study, survey data were collected from 312 employees. The result of this study showed that people perceive P-O fit, P-J fit, and P-S fit separately, and each type of fit affects person's attitude and behavior differently. Organization commitment and organization citizenship behavior were predicted most highly by P-O fit. P-J fit explained most highly job satisfaction, job stress, and intent to turnover. Stress from supervisor was largely affected by P-S fit. Also, the interaction hypotheses on relationship among three fits which were main interest in this study and interaction hypotheses between each fit and adaptability were partially supported. Based on these results, the implication and limitation of this study were discussed. Also, the direction for future study was discussed.
