Limited research has evaluated the performance of physical education (PE) teachers. This study aimed to use person-environment fit and organizational support to evaluate PE teachers' work performance using multilevel analysis. The relationship between person-environment fit and performance of university physical education teachers (at the person-level) and a cross-level effect on performance of university physical education teachers of perceived organizational support (at the school-level) and a moderator effect of organizational support were examined. A total of 447 PE teachers recruited from 55 universities in Taiwan were invited to participate in this survey, with a return rate of 65.74%. Using hierarchical linear modeling, the study found that person-job fit, person-organization fit, and person-supervisor fit at individual level have positive impacts on the performance of university PE teachers. As for cross-level effect, organizational support has positive impacts on the performance of university physical education teachers. However, organizational support at school level had no significant moderating effects on the relationship between person-environment fit and the performance of university physical education teachers. The implications of the findings for both university PE teachers and administrators and suggestions for future research are discussed.
有限的研究评估了体育教育（PE）教师的表现。本研究旨在使用人-环境适配和组织支持，通过多层次分析来评估体育教师的工作表现。本研究检验了人-环境适配与大学体育教师表现之间的关系（在个体层面上），以及感知到的组织支持对大学体育教师表现的跨层次影响（在学校层面上）和组织支持的调节作用。从台湾的 55 所大学共招募了 447 名体育教师参与调查，回收率为 65.74%。采用层次线性模型，研究发现个体层面的人-工作适配、人-组织适配和人-主管适配对大学体育教师的表现有积极影响。至于跨层次效应，组织支持对大学体育教师的表现有积极影响。然而，学校层面的组织支持对人-环境适配与大学体育教师表现之间的关系没有显著的调节作用。讨论了研究结果对大学体育教师和管理人员的意义，并提出了未来研究的建议。
