Background It is desirable for each dimension of person–environment fit to be high, as it links to many work-related outcomes. Methods A longitudinal survey using a questionnaire was conducted in February 2019 (Time 1) and October 2019 (Time 2). A simple linear regression analysis and a multiple linear regression analysis were conducted, using data from 324 nurses. Results The results of the simple regression analysis showed that three variables related to learning circumstances at Time 1 were positively related to each dimension of person–environment fit at Time 2. The multiple regression analysis showed on-the-job opportunities for professional growth at Time 1 related to person–environment fit at Time 2. Conclusions To achieve high person–environment fit, nurses should be aware of on-the-job opportunities for professional growth. Implications for Nursing Management To achieve high person–environment fit, nurse managers should evaluate nurses' abilities and assign them jobs that would help improve their nursing skills.
