Person-environment fit is identified as a significant factor in facilitating individuals’ professional identity, however, the understanding of its underlying mechanisms is still limited, especially among social workers. This study aims to investigate the serial mediating effects of person-organizational value congruence and collective psychological ownership when associated with a person-environment fit and professional identity. A total sample of 5965 social workers is drawn from the China Social Work Longitudinal Study (CSWLS) 2019. Results reveal that a serial mediating path from person-organizational value congruence with collective psychological ownership is posited to operate between a person-environment fit and professional identity. This study not only provides theoretical contributions for how person-environment fit influences professional identity, but also discusses implications for policy and practice. Future research directions, such as the adoption of longitudinal designs, use of objective measurement methods, and examination of cross-cultural generalizability, are also provided in this study.
