Definitions of fit and misfit in Northern Europe : insights from a cross-national research collaboration
Billsberry, Jon and De Cooman, Rein 2010, Definitions of fit and misfit in Northern Europe : insights from a cross-national research collaboration, in Exploring Organisational Fit and Misfit : Proceedings of the 4th Global e-Conference on Fit, [Open University],.
This paper addresses the well-established definitional issues in the organisational fit and misfit literatures. In particular, it reflects upon the poorly defined nature of the terms ‘fit’ and ‘misfit’ and the way they are used by researchers across languages and national borders. During a scholarly visit of the second author to the first author’s laboratory, it quickly became apparent that their understanding of the two terms was subtly different. These differences are discussed and implications developed. The paper ends with suggestions for how these differences might be systematically studied.
