Popis: The relations between two measures of environmental congruence, skill utilization congruence, and group importance on the one hand, and three measures of well-being (satisfaction, anxiety, and somatic complaints) on the other, were measured. Participants were 118 reserve infantry soldiers constituting four infantry companies. A correlation of .37 was found between skill utilization and group importance and around .66 between each of these variables and satisfaction (all p < .01). Environmental congruence did not yield significant correlations with the well-being measures. The findings are interpreted by reference to specific features of the sample, and the theoretical and practical implications are considered.
