Abstract
This study aims to verify the dual mediating effect of work meaningfulness and anxiety in the process of person-job fit influencing flourishing. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted with 320 employees working in various companies, and statistical analysis was conducted using AMOS 21, SPSS 21, and SPSS Process Macro v. 3.3. The results of this study are as follows: First, person-job fit had positive correlations with work meaningfulness and flourishing and a negative correlation with anxiety. Second, work meaningfulness and anxiety were both found to have mediating effects on the relationship between person-job fit and flourishing. Third, the dual-mediating effect of work meaningfulness and anxiety was confirmed. The practical implication of this study is that it is important to manage effectively person-job fit and work meaningfulness at workplace as the individuals' perspective toward work changes and the emotional/psychological well-being becomes even more essential. The implications and limitations of this study were discussed in the conclusion.
