Counselors' Perceived Person-Environment Fit and Career Satisfaction

This correlational study examined the relationship between career satisfaction and personorganization, demandsabilities, and needssupplies fit with counselors (N= 464) using the Perceived Job Fit instrument (Cable & DeRue, 2002) and a scale of career satisfaction adapted from the Adult Career Concerns Inventory (Super, Thompson, Lindeman, Myers, & Jordaan, 1988). Using a linear, multiple regression analysis, the authors found that personorganization fit (p= .01) and needssupplies fit (p= .00) were both positively related to career satisfaction and that there was no relationship between demandsabilities fit and career satisfaction.
