The authors investigated the mechanism of group cohesion in the relationship between (a) task interdependence and goal interdependence and (b) individuals' organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The authors adopted a multilevel perspective to facilitate understanding of the complex relations among variables. They collected data from 53 supervisors and 270 employees from R&D departments in Taiwan. The authors found that group cohesion fully mediated the effects of task interdependence and goal interdependence on employees' OCB. In addition, task interdependence had a greater effect on group cohesion than did goal interdependence. The authors discuss implications and suggestions for future research.
作者研究了(a)任务相互依赖和目标相互依赖与(b)个体的组织公民行为(OCB)之间的群体凝聚力的机制。作者采用多层次视角来促进对变量之间复杂关系的理解。他们从台湾研发部门的 53 名主管和 270 名员工那里收集了数据。作者发现,群体凝聚力完全中介了任务相互依赖和目标相互依赖对员工 OCB 的影响。此外,任务相互依赖对群体凝聚力的影响大于目标相互依赖。作者讨论了对未来研究的意义和建议。
