The relationship between the person-job fit to structural empowerment of employees and organizational effectiveness (The study of youth and sports general directorate of Guilan state)

Abstract  This study aimed to survey of the relationship between person-job fit to structural empowerment of employees and organizational effectiveness in youth and sports general directorate of guilan state. The study method was descriptive- correlation. Statistical society of this study was comprised of all employees of youth and sports general directorate of guilan state (110 people). Statistical sample was chosen equal to population (allpeople method). The study material included three questionnaire; person-job fit (Lauver&Brown, 2001); structural empowerment (Kordnaeij et all, 1394) and effectiveness (Chelladurai, 1987). Content validity of material was verified by 10 professors of sportive management and its reliability was verified through Cronbakh alpha (relatively 0/96, 0/88, 0/89). In order to analyze the data, the method of structural equations modeling in PLS software was used. The results showed that person-job fit has a significant relationship with structural empowerment (P=6/272; R=0/487), but its relationship with organizational effectiveness was not significant (P=1/511; R=_0/123). Also, structural empowerment has a significant relationship with organizational effectiveness (P=10/815; R=0/744). In this way, although person-job fit didn’t have significant relationship with organizational effectiveness directly, but indirectly through mediator variable, structural empowerment it can lead to improvement in organizational effectiveness.  It can be concluded that lack of significant relationship between person-job fit and organizational effectiveness and meanwhile the existence of significant relationship between them through mediator variable, structural empowerment is indicative of the fact that necessarily in an organization, a very high person-job fit doesn’t lead to effectiveness but empowerment and continuous training has a very determining role.
