Employee Performance in Temporary Organizations: The Effects of Person‐Environment Fit and Temporariness on Task Performance and Innovative Performance
本研究基于人-环境匹配理论，调查了341名临时组织成员及其主管，发现整体人-环境匹配显著提升任务和创新绩效，其中人-工作匹配影响最大，且临时性增强匹配对任务绩效的积极作用。
This study investigates individual employee performance, both task‐oriented and innovation‐generating, in temporary organizations (TOs) by applying the person‐environment (P‐E) fit concept. Prior research on work outcomes has revealed distinct differences between TOs and their surrounding permanent organizations (POs) but has not included a differentiated investigation of the antecedents of employee performance in TOs. Accordingly, we examine the influence of different P‐E fit dimensions and the moderating role of the temporariness of the organizational unit on task performance and innovative performance using a cross‐industry sample of 341 TO members and 20 of their supervisors. Our findings suggest that (i) both task and innovative performance in TOs are significantly increased by overall P‐E fit, within which (ii) the dimension of Person‐Job fit has the largest impact, and (iii) temporariness can increase the positive effect of P‐E fit on task performance.
