5- CONCLUSIONS & SUGGESTIONS
The result of the first hypothesis is consistent with that of Poorrostami et al. (2016) and Margarta and Vikaksana (2020). Therefore, it is suggested to managers that create more effective employment mechanisms to maximize person-organizational fit and increase the organizational commitment. The result of the second hypothesis is consistent with the results of Eshaghiyan et al. (2016), Ameri and Ismaili (2010), Ratanasari and Soderma (2019), Afsar and Badir (2016), and Gregory (2010). To increase the employees' psychological empowerment, it is suggested that managers focus on improving the person-organization fit. Additionally, managers are recommended to hire employees who are adaptable to the organization's value system. The effect of psychological empowerment on organizational commitment was also confirmed, which is consistent with the results of Kafashpour and Shakoori (2015), Abbasi et al. (2013), Ravaghi et al. (2013), Zahedi et al. (2009), Yakubaki (2003), Janssen (2004), Ambad (2010), and Yasin Hamed (2020). Therefore, it is recommended that managers inform employees about direct and indirect costs imposed on the organization by employees' turnover and, thus, create a sense of duty in employees to stay in the organization. The results confirmed the indirect effect of person-organizational fit through psychological empowerment. This was consistent with the results of Farzaneh et al. (2014) and Karimi et al. (2018). Accordingly, attention to the measures of employee empowerment should be on the agenda of organizational management.
