The Role of Complementary Fit for the Meaning in Work from the Perspective of Different Generations

Abstract

The aim of the article is to identify whether belonging to a specific generation differentiates the relationship between complementary fit and meaning in work. A quantitative study was conducted on a sample of 212 employees from Polish enterprises. Two questionnaires were used: the person-organization fit questionnaire by Joanna Czarnota-Bojarska (2010)
and the meaning in work questionnaire by Tatjana Schnell and Carmen Hoffman (2020). Analysis of the collected data determined the relationship between complementary fit and meaning in work to be positive and strong. The study has shown that the sources of meaning in work that have the strongest correlation with complementary fit are purpose and coherence. Older generations demonstrate higher levels of meaning in work (in coherence, significance, and purpose) and complementary fit than younger generations. However, generational belonging does not differentiate the relationship between complementary fit and meaning in work. This may be due to the small differences between generations in the previously studied aspects, as well as the multidimensionality of individuals who possess more traits than those common to their generation.
