TY - JOUR AU1 - Werbel, James D. AU2 - Johnson, Danny J. AB - Given an increased emphasis on work teams in organizations, it is important to select applicants based on their ability to make contributions to a given work team. This paper proposes that person–group fit should be useful to select applicants for work teams and suggests that effective use of person–group fit will create both more cohesive work units and more effectively functioning work units. It proposes ways to make valid and reliable assessments of person–group fit that could be used to minimize bias in the selection process. Finally, it addresses several implications of using the person–group fit paradigm for human resource management practice. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
