The Relationship of the Fruits of the Spirit with Person-Supervisor Fit

Abstract

We examined the impact of employees’ perception of their supervisors’ fruits of the Spirit (per Galatians 5) on the employees’ self-report of person-supervisor fit. Multiple hierarchical regression using 250 participants showed significant positive impact by patience, goodness, gentleness, and self-control on employees’ perception of person-supervisor fit. We recommend future studies to learn more about the effect of the fruits of the Spirit on manager-employee relationships.
