Organizational fit: Selecting an organization to join is crucial, as it will influence a great deal of one's life for the foreseeable future. The member needs to be compatible with the organization, its vision, its mission, and its beliefs. Transparency of the organization is clear during this process, as the organization does not want to encourage someone to join that would not fit, just as an individual does not want to join where they do not fit (Dodds, p. 385).
