Abstract

The purpose of this study was to design and elaborate an adaptive pattern in the work environment on the job performance of the staff of the Department of Sports and Youth of Khuzestan province with the role of mediator of organizational citizenship behavior. The statistical population in this research is all employees of the General Department of Sports and Youth of Khuzestan Province. A sample of 170 people (130 men and 40 women) was selected using multistage random sampling. The current project is a covariance matrix or correlation matrix (path analysis). The tools used for data collection were Individual Adjustment Questionnaire (Paceentin & Chapman, 2006), Individual Perceived Adaptation Questionnaire (Wagel and Feldman, 2009), Individual Perceived Adaptation Questionnaire - Kabel & Drew (2002), Graham & Deynesh (1994) and Personal Career Performance Questionnaire (1970). The results showed that the individual-organization matching is related to organizational performance with organizational performance. Also, the individual-job matching is related to organizational performance with organizational performance. However, the individual-group adaptation only indirectly increases organizational performance through organizational civic behavior. Organizational civic behavior is also related to job performance. The findings of the path analysis revealed that the structural model has good fitness and all structural relationships in the model are significant at P <0.05.
