Popis: This study examined the indirect effect of perceived person-job fit in the relationship between emotional intelligence and employee wellbeing. Primary data for the study were collected from academic staff (n = 257) of selected universities through standardized psychological scales. Results from the correlational analysis revealed that emotional intelligence and perceived person-job fit had a strong and positive relationship with employee wellbeing. However, the relationship between emotional intelligence employee wellbeing was higher than the one that existed between perceived person-job fit and employee wellbeing. Again, results from the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) showed a partial mediation of perceived person-fit in the link between emotional intelligence and employee wellbeing. Findings from this study will assist university administrators and researchers to understand the dynamic interaction among the variables in the study particularly the indirect effect of person-job fit in the relationship between emotional intelligence and employee wellbeing.
