Which statement describes Person Group Fit?

• A. The degree to which a person fits with the organization's values.
• B. The fit between a person's abilities and the job requirements.
• C. The extent to which a person fits with the workgroup's and supervisor's work styles, skills, and goals.
• D. The alignment of a person's interests with a profession.

Answer: (C)

Person Group Fit focuses on how well a candidate’s way of working aligns with the team and the supervisor—their working style, skills, and goals. This alignment matters because it affects daily collaboration, communication, and the ability to contribute toward the group’s objectives. The statement that describes fitting with the workgroup’s and supervisor’s work styles, skills, and goals best captures this team-level dynamic. It’s different from other fit types: organization-wide values describe person-organization fit, abilities vs job requirements describe person-job fit, and interests with a profession describe professional or career-fit. For example, a candidate who shares the team’s collaborative pace and aligns their goals with the group’s aims will integrate smoothly.
