This aim of this paper is to examine the effect of the mediation effect of the psychological contract breach(PCB) on the relationship between three types of fit such as person-organization (P-O), person-group (P-G), and person-job (P-J) fit on job satisfaction (JS) and organization commitment to the organization (organizational affective commitment or OAC).
The empirical data for the study were collected using self-administered questionnaires with 186 participants from 6 large foreign capital companies in China. Respondents were asked to provide their perceptions of the main concepts used in the study. The data were analyzed with SPSS 14.0. The results are as follows:
First, P-G, P-J fit have an positive effect on JS.
Second, P-O, P-G, P-J fit have an positive effect on OAC.
Third, the PC was found to be partial mediator between P-G fit, P-J fit and job satisfaction, and between P-O fit, P-G fit, P-J fit and OAC.
Finally, the managerial implications, limitations, and future research directions were suggested at the end of this paper.
Since little is known about the process by which foreign capital companies of Chinese organizations promote the P-O fit, P-G fit, P-J fit , JS or OAC, this article contribute to the literature by examining HRM practices in foreign capital companies in China.
