Purpose: Matching the employee's skills and abilities to the job position plays a significant role. Many studies show such connections in the case of employees, but there is insufficient research on managers. This paper explores the impact of aligning managers' skills, competencies, and preferences with job demands (manager-job fit) on individual and group performance. Design/methodology/approach: Using data from 200 managers collected through an online survey, the study employs PLS-SEM to test hypotheses. Findings: The findings reveal a strong positive relationship between manager-job fit and both individual and team performance. Notably, older and more experienced managers tend to report a better job fit, while higher education levels do not necessarily correlate with improved fit. Practical implications: The study highlights the importance of considering manager-job fit in organizational success, as it affects not only managers' effectiveness but also the performance of their teams. Originality/value: The paper contributes to management literature by introducing the concept of manager-job fit and emphasizes the need for further research with larger and more diverse samples, perhaps focused on a sector of activity.
