This study examined factors influencing turnover intention among Disability Activity Support Workers (DASWs) using the person–environment (P–E) fit framework across organizational types within disability support services. A survey of DASWs in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea, classified institutions as mission-oriented —primarily providing disability support services—and non-mission-oriented—where such services are secondary. P–E fit was assessed through four dimensions: person –job, person–organization, person–supervisor, and person–peer fit. Multiple regression analyses revealed that person–organization fit was the strongest predictor of turnover intention in mission-oriented institutions, while person–job fit had the greatest influence in non-mission-oriented ones. These findings suggest that alignment with organizational values is critical in mission-driven contexts, whereas job-role compatibility is more critical in non-mission-oriented contexts. The study underscores the importance of institution-specific approaches to managing DASW retention and offers implications for tailored human resource and policy strategies.
