Abstract

Finding a company to work for is a two-way street in that a job applicant must like the company and the company must like the applicant. Job applicants and hiring companies both want to find a mutual fit. This fit can potentially be observed through the personality characteristics and gender of the applicant as well as the organizational culture type of the company. The purpose of this study is to understand how individuals view an organizational culture and have the desire to work for an organizational culture type based on individuals’ personality characteristics and gender.
