Abstract

The aim of this paper is to review basic ideas about the relationship between personality and organization. Particular attention is paid to the concept of person-organization fit. The specific areas of research are considered the study of organizational commitment and identification of personnel with the organization. Constructionist critique of traditional theoretical concepts that underlie the concept of person-organization fit is given. The concept of organizational culture as a modern trend in the study of organizations is described. Analysis of the literature shows that in modern organizational theory and the classical concepts, the philosophy of instrumental rationality and control continues to occupy a dominant position.
