N2 - The influence of person-job fit on one’s engagement with job has received less attention in employee engagement research. There is clear evidence that employees form and use fit perceptions as they pass through their organizational life, and these fit perceptions determine their choices while performing their jobs. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of employees’ perceptions of needs-supplies fit and demands-abilities fit on employee engagement. A self-administered survey was used to collect data from 161 academic and non-academic employees of a large public university located near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Results of regression analysis showed that needs-supplies fit and demands-abilities fit had significant positive effect on employee engagement. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
