This study replicates an earlier study of O'Reilly, Chatman and Caldwell (1991) demonstrating that the level of congruence between an organization's culture and its new employees' value preferences is a predictor of turnover. This replication research was conducted in the health care industry in Belgium. As expected, the congruence between the values of the hospital and nursing recruits' preferred values was predictive of nurses staying with their organization 1 year after congruence was measured. The significance of this replication is discussed. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
