This study investigated the relationship between person-environment (P-E) congruence and organizational performance. Person factors were represented by personal orientations and environment factors by organizational climates. It was hypothesized that P-E congruence would be related to the effectiveness of organizations. Organizational effectiveness data were collected for 29 schools; personal orientations were assessed from 597 teachers and organizational climate from 581 teachers within these schools. Personal orientations and climates were aggregated to the organizational level, and P-E congruence was assessed. Results of correlational analyses between congruence and effectiveness generally supported the expected relationships.
