| Abstract: | An exploratory model is presented as a heuristic to indicate how individual perceptions of corporate reputation (before joining)
and corporate ethical values (after joining) generate specific individual organizational senses of fit. The paper suggests
that an ethical dimension of person-organization fit may go some way in explaining superior acquisition and retention of staff
by those who are attracted to specific organizations by levels of corporate social performance consonant with their ethical
expectations, or who remain with them by virtue of better personal ethical fits with extant organizational ethical values.
Specifically, the model suggests that individual misfits that arise from ethical expectations that either exceed or fall short
of perceived organizational ethical performances lead to problematic acquisition and retention behavioural outcomes. |
