Effects of gender similarity on relationships between person-group value fit and work attitudes

초록

The present study assessed the effect of gender similarity as a potential moderator of the relationships between person-group (P-G) value fit and work attitudes. Specifically, we predicted that the effect of P-G value fit (in terms of social integration values) on individual attitudes would be stronger for individuals who had a similar gender than those of a different gender. Based on data obtained from 197 employees in South Korea, we found that when the focal individual had high gender similarity with his or her group, the relationships between P-G value fit and job satisfaction and between P-G value fit and turnover intentions were more prominent. Furthermore, these moderating effects were significant for men, but not for women.
