Abstract: The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between job performance, innovative and entrepreneurial behaviours and person-organisation fit (PO fit). For investigating the relationship, a longitudinal study was conducted with 550 and 510 employees from companies working on the defence industry products and service sector in Ankara, Turkey. After the analysis, it can be seen that PO fit has a moderating effect in the relationship between job performance, innovative and entrepreneurial behaviours. Results also indicated that the relationships between both innovative behaviour-job performance and the entrepreneurship behaviour - the job performance are positive in case of low PO fit. On the contrary, the relationships between both innovative behaviour-job performance and the entrepreneurship behaviour-job performance are not significant when the PO fit is high.

Keywords: innovative behaviour; entrepreneurial behaviour; job performance; person-organisation fit; defence industry; defence products and services; moderating effect; innovation; entrepreneurship; Turkey.
