    #008: Person-Environment Fit, The Big Five, Holland's RIASEC Model & Career Lessons - Professor Filip De Fruyt

    I had the privilege of speaking with Professor Filip De Fruyt, who brings over 35 years of expertise in academic research and international business consultancy. 🎓 Filip is a Senior Full Professor of Differential Psychology and Personality Assessment at Ghent University and serves as International Relationships Officer at Low Lands Assessment Systems. This episode in English is a deep dive into Person-Environment Fit (P-EFit) - and why it’s central to understanding careers, performance, and employee retention. 💡 Key insights from our conversation:🔹 For over three decades, Filip has studied the intersection of how people work and perform (Big Five personality model) and what they do (Holland’s RIASEC vocational interest model).🔹 Fit can be supplementary or complementary — a crucial consideration when hiring.🔹 Fit is dynamic, not static: your role at 28 may no longer be the right fit at 32.🔹 Organisations often over-focus on performance, but should also align employees’ learning and development with their vocational interests - critical in today's fast-changing job market. *  Resources Referenced: - Low Lands Assessment Systems: https://lowlandsassessmentsystems.com/en - Lola-test: https://lowlandsassessmentsystems.com/en/explore-your-passion- The Big Five or Five-Factor Model: dimensions of neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness - John Holland's theory of vocational interests, the "RIASECmodel": interest domains of Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional * Support the podcast:- If you enjoy Choose Work, you can support it with a small voluntarycontribution (even the price of a coffee) via Buy Me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/choosework * Contact Filip De Fruyt:  - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/filip-de-fruyt/ - Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=aqL24tgAAAAJ&hl=en * Contact Heidi - Leadership Coach • Expert inGiftedness • Mindfulness Teacher: - Book a free discovery call here: www.heididelanghe.com/contact - Instagram: www.instagram.com/heididelanghe/ - LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/heididelanghe #CareerDevelopment #PersonEnvironmentFit #Psychology #FutureOfWork #BigFive #RIASEC #EmployeeEngagement

About

I’m Heidi, evidence-based Coach & Trainer. This podcast delivers practical career tips, inspiring stories, and expert insights - empowering you to make thoughtful decisions about your career and workplace. In each episode, I explore a work-related topic together with a national or international expert, or someone with firsthand experience. Sometimes there is a deep-dive into a theme across several episodes, other times it’s a stand-alone interview with an expert or practitioner. Episodes are primarily in English.
