Abstract This article hypothesized and tested a model in which the satisfaction of the psychological needs for autonomy, relatedness, and competence partially mediated the relations between different types of perceived PE fit and employee affective organizational commitment. Data from 335 full-time working employees were collected across 3 time periods. The main conclusions are as followed: (1) PO fit, PG fit and DA fit all had significant effect on affective organizational commitment. The influence of PO fit was even bigger. (2) PO fit had significant effect on psychological needs for autonomy. Both PO fit and PG fit had significant effect on psychological needs for relatedness. And both PO fit and DA fit had significant effect on psychological needs for competence. (3) PO fit mainly influenced employee affective organizational commitment directly. PG fit influenced employee affective organizational commitment indirectly through the satisfaction of psychological needs for relatedness, totally. DA fit influenced employee affective organizational commitment directly and indirectly through the satisfaction of psychological needs for competence.
