The job has certain requirements and
rewards associated with it. The person has certain qualifications, referred to as
KSAOs, and motivations. There is a need for a match between the person and the
job. To the extent that the match is good, it will likely have a positive impact on
HR outcomes, particularly attraction of job applicants, job performance, retention,
attendance, and satisfaction.
