AB  - The assumption that congruence between personality and work
environment results in job satisfaction is fundamental to
vocational theory. The research study tested the relationship
between person-environment congruence and job satisfaction as
assessed by Holand's model of vocational preference on as ample
of 94 trainers at the National Institute of Public Administration
(INTAN).
The research study applied the Environmental Assessment
Technique (EAT) to obtain the occupation code for the INTAN work
environment. Subsequently, the Vocational Preference Inventory
(VPI) was used to obtain the personality profile of the trainers.
The relationship between personality and environment was
examined. The research study then investigated whether or not there was a significant difference in job satisfaction bet ween
trainers who are congruent with the work environment and trainers
who are incongruent with the work environment.
