The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of person-environment fit(P-E fit) on innovative work behavior of company employees, and to identify mediating effect of psychological empowerment between P-E fit and innovative work behavior. 392 workers from various corporations participated for the questionnaire survey. Using SPSS 20.0 program to analyze the collected data, multiple regression analysis and 3-step analysis of the mediating effect were applied to verify the hypothesis, and t-test and one-way analysis of variance were performed to determine the differences of demographic characteristics. Following are the results of the study. P-E fit had a positive influence both on psychological empowerment and innovative work behavior, and psychological empowerment also had a positive effect on innovative work behavior. It means that higher P-E fit can encourage employees’ motivation toward their work, and innovative work behavior can be created while the employees adapt themselves to new work environment. The study also found out that psychological empowerment had a partial mediating effect between person-job fit and innovative work behavior. The result of the study implies that in order for employees to orient themselves to core value of the company, organizational culture and educational and training programs should be based toward cultivating employees’ psychological empowerment as well as arranging good fit between the characteristic of individual employees and their organizational environment.
