"Person - People fit" Does they really fit in HR jargons?
My Management Dilemma 2.
I don't know but I am more confused now than ever before. Recently we were discussing about "Person job fit" and "Person organization fit" in our HR lecture but now, I am wondering about this one class "Person People Fit" that where does they exactly fit? What I mean by person people fit is not those people who wear fake smiles and involves a great deal of personal touch and who laugh their hearts out at things which sometimes do not even convey any meaning.
A person who is people fit is not again about that Microsoft advertisement of "People ready business" but yeah its something like that. Microsoft emphasizes on customization of their business solutions depending on the people specific or firm specific needs and what I am talking about is People becoming ready for people.
I have seen quite a few people in my short life who goes one step further to make your first and only encounter worthwhile and they come in all shapes, sizes and at all the level of IQ. They are found in all kind of places like restaurants, banks, railway stations, roadsides and even in governement offices. Well, they do not ask for anything in return and leave you with happy memories. Now my doubt is that does the organization while recruiting and hiring try to delve deeper into this side of the personality? THey essentially ask questions about handling ethical issues and making compromises but would they ever try to venture into finding out whether the person is people fit or not?
My dilemma is that a person can be trained to be an Organization fit or a Job fit but you can only train a person to fake his people fitness. That fake smile of the girl sitting behind the counters who gets irritated only after the second question from customer reminds me the same. But then another question is that what is the right metric for measuring this aspect of the personality? Gosh! I am becoming more and more confused.
