Therefore, the result of employee's fit/misfit with the group gains importance for organizations.

Person-group fit is examined by means of 3 dimensions: the employees' perception about demographic similarity with group members (relational demography, similarity of personal values with group values, and congruence of personality traits with group members' ones. 124 working group-sampling (640 employees) is selected at technology-based organizations.

Contrary to expectations, personality traits similarity with group members explains the variance in the satisfaction with supervisor, negatively (28%).
