Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order to ensure a good person-organization fit, BCH needs to consider accurate communication, perceptions, and expectations. This means that the organization must effectively communicate its values, expectations, and culture to potential employees to ensure that they understand what is expected of them and that their personal values align with those of the organization. By doing this, BCH can attract and retain employees who are a good fit for the organization, which will lead to improved job satisfaction, increased productivity, and a better overall work environment. Image advertising, creating high expectations, and recruitment and selection training may be important factors in attracting and retaining employees, but without accurate communication, perceptions, and expectations, they will not necessarily result in a good person-organization fit.
