Description Job or career compatibility is one the key factors for one’s success in the workplace. When there is a good fit between individual and his/her work environment, higher levels of satisfaction and mental and physical well-being are achieved. Person-organization fit has important job-related consequences, including organizational assimilation, job selection, job satisfaction, organizational commitment and desertion. The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship of person-environment fit with employee’s working and job burnout in West-Mazandaran Power Distribution Company. This is an applied research conducted based on a correlational design. The actual data was collected from the questionnaires distributed among the company employees. The target statistical population included all employees of the above mentioned company (150 in total) from among whom, using the Krejcie and Morgan table for sample size, 108 employees were selected as the sample. The hypothesized relationships between the variables were investigated based on the information obtained from the standard questionnaires whose validity and reliability had been verified in advance. Data analysis included both descriptive and inferential statistics performed in the SPSS environment. The results indicated a positive and significant relationship between person-environment fit and the employee job burnout. In addition, data analysis showed that person-environment fit did contribute to the employee’s working quality in the understudy power company.
