Title: Person–Organization Fit with Teaching Colleagues, Person–Job Fit With Grade Level, and First-Year Elementary Teacher Retention.
Authors: Miller, Jason M.1 (AUTHOR), Evert, Kimberly2 (AUTHOR), Youngs, Peter3 (AUTHOR)
Source: Journal of Education Human Resources. Apr2026, Vol. 44 Issue 2, p395-423. 29p.
Subject Terms: *Teacher retention, *Grade levels, *Teacher education, *Elementary school teachers, *Teaching teams, Person-environment fit, Logistic regression analysis
Abstract: This study explores features of person–organization (P-O) fit and person–job (P-J) fit, and their associations with teacher retention. The authors utilize a person–environment fit framework and conduct a logistic regression analysis that drew on survey data from 153 first-year elementary teachers. They find that first-year elementary teachers in Grades K–2 valued P-J fit with their grade-level assignments while first-year elementary teachers in Grades 3–6 valued P-O fit with teaching colleagues when making their retention decisions. The findings have implications for teacher preparation, the teacher hiring process, and in-school teacher development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
