Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of personorganisational
fit and espoused-organisational fit with organisational commitment.
The random sample comprised of employees belonging to six SBUs of a large
Professional Service-based organisation in Mauritius. Participants were asked to
rate the importance of values items categorised under personal, espoused and
actual organisational values. Organisational commitment was measured using
the Meyer & Allen’s three-component organisational commitment scale. The
results indicated weak to moderate negative correlations between personorganisational
fit and espoused-organisational fit with organisational commitment
variables. Furthermore, results of the multiple regression analysis indicated that
employees' perceptions of organisational values contributed weakly to
moderately in their explanation of variances in affective, normative and
continuance commitment
