Competence, Organizational Commitment, Performance, Person Organization Fit (PO-Fit)Abstract
This study explores the relationships between employee competence, Person-Organization Fit (P-O Fit), organisational commitment, and employee performance, focusing on the mediating role of organisational commitment. Using a sample of 66 employees from the Klungkung II Health Center, selected through a questionnaire-based sampling method, the research adopts Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with a variance-based Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach. The findings reveal that although competence positively influences organisational commitment, the effect is insignificant. In contrast, P-O Fit has a significant positive impact on organisational commitment. Competence substantially enhances employee performance, while P-O Fit unexpectedly negatively influences performance. Organisational commitment does not mediate the effect of competence on performance, but it partially mediates the relationship between P-O Fit and performance. The study highlights the differential impacts of competence and P-O Fit on performance, providing practical insights for improving employee alignment with organisational goals.
