Post‐pandemic public personnel retention: A person‐organization and person‐supervisor fit analysis

This study examines person/organization and person/supervisor fit of public administration professionals in the context of hybrid work. A three‐phase study was conducted among 411 public professionals in Quebec. Results show that person/organization and person/supervisor fit have declined over time, and that satisfaction with hybrid work played a role in this decline. Person/organization fit affects intention to stay with the public organization. These results show the importance for public organizations to take employees' needs, values and expectations into account to increase satisfaction with the hybrid work experience and foster the retention of public service employees in a post‐pandemic era.
