Based on a sample of 188 employee-supervisor pairs from four organizations in Taiwan, the results revealed that PS fit is negatively associated with employee turnover, and that the relationship between them is partially mediated by psychological empowerment, as expected employee turnover. On the other hand supervisor support did not mediate the relationship between PS fit and employee turnover. Furthermore, related leader-member exchange (RLMX) moderated the relationship between PS fit and supervisor support such that the relationships became stronger for individuals with higher rather than lower in RLMX. In addition the leader-member exchange social comparison (LMXSC) moderated the relationship between PS fit and psychological empowerment. This study was conducted with supervisors and subordinates from different industries and the results show that match between supervisor and subordinate personality dimensions, values, and goals had a relationship with the outcome variables of interest. Specifically, the greater the PS fit the lower the turnover.
