Abstract

Organizational culture and individual employees’ fit with it have been found to be important factors affecting sustainable management. However, the effects of person–team cultural fit (P-T cultural fit) has not been much studied regarding its differential effects compared to other types of person–environment fit (P-E fit). The present study examined how person–organizational cultural fit (P-O cultural fit) and P-T cultural fit have a differential impact on work attitudes and task performance and investigated the moderating role of a team leader’s supportive leadership. Using longitudinal data collected from 1539 employees, the results show that P-O cultural fit and P-T cultural fit had a significant positive relationship with organizational commitment, while P-T cultural fit also showed a significant positive relationship with team commitment and task performance. In addition, supportive leadership had significant moderating and enhancing effects on the impact of P-T cultural fit on both organizational and team commitment. As the most proximal unit of individuals’ work environment, the congruence between individual and team values plays a crucial role in improving individuals’ attitudes and task performance. Our results thus yield practical implications on the importance of team cultural management in the context of sustainable management.
