Prologue: considering how fit changes

ABSTRACT This prologue to the European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology special issue “Experiencing fit and misfit: Process views, dynamic interactions, and temporal considerations” identifies three themes shared by the papers in this issue: perception of fit and misfit, actions taken in pursuit of fit, and the influence of time in considering fit. Each of the papers speaks to one or more of these themes and I explore each paper’s contributions in turn. Together they extend our understanding of the experience of fit and misfit as subjective and dynamic. I also comment on the practical implications of the research presented in this issue and provide recommendations for future research exploring these themes.
