R. Sims, Ronald, Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory: A Framework for Assessing Person-Job Interaction, Academy of Management review , 8(3), 1983, pp. 501-508
This paper presents Kolb's experiential learning theory as a framework for measuring the person and the job in the same language.In addition, it suggests other valuable uses of Kolb's theory, such as increasing understanding of person-job match or mismatch, identifying pivotal versus peripheral skills in jobs, and determining whether mismatched (over- or underqualified) person-job relationships result in different levels of performance or satisfaction.
