The Impact of Person-organization Fit and Perceived Organizational Support on Work Engagement of University Staff

Abstract

          The purposes of this quantitative research were to analyze the impact of person-organization fit and perceived organizational support on work engagement of staff at Kasetsart University Sriracha campus. The data received was calculated and analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and structural equation modeling. The results of this study revealed that the causal relationship of the structural equation model was created consistently with the empirical data and that the variables accounted for 81 percent of the variance in staff's work engagement. It was found that person-organization fit has a positive influence on work engagement with no statistically significant. Perceived organizational support has a positive influence on work engagement at a statistically significant level of 0.05 (path coefficient= 0.892). According to research, strengthening perceptions of organizational support, particularly perceptions of supervisor support and rewards, can help employees feel more engaged in their work, dedicated, and willing to collaborate.
