For data analysis both descriptive and inferential statistics were used containing frequencypercentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test and multiple regression test.Results: The level of interest and job characteristics were higher than mean score and the personality, skilland knowledge level were lower than mean score. In general, person fit level was lower than mean scoreamong components of individual-organization fit. Moreover, components of organization fit were higherthan the mean level. Among job satisfaction components, opportunity component was higher than themean level and the colleagues, income, organization type and job component were lower than mean level.In general, job satisfaction components were lower than the mean level. Finally, there was a positive andsignificant correlation between individual-organization fit and job satisfaction. Multivariable regressionshowed that there was a significant correlation between individual-organizations fit and job satisfaction.Conclusion: Since the degree of individual-organizations fit and job satisfaction level was less than theaverage score in nursing managers which will eventually lead to lower efficiency and effectiveness oftheir performances and activities, the hospital managers must be careful in selecting human resources andgo along with the individual-organizations fit parameters and provide necessary conditions required forthe fulfillment of the organization objectives
