In addition, an inclusion climate and workplace fun were positively related to deep co…
The Development and Validation of the Multidimensional Coworker Socializing for Fun Scale
To better understand how coworkers socialize for fun, this multistudy research builds on prior conceptualizations to develop and validate a more conceptually precise measure of coworker socializing for fun.

Drawing on…

Does Leader–Member Exchange Accentuate the Relationship Between Leader Behaviors and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors
Although the effects of leader behaviors on organizational citizenship behaviors is well documented, research on the leader–subordinate relationship as a boundary condition of this relationship is less clear. Drawing on social exchange and personal identification theories, we demonstrate that leader–member exchange moderates the relationship between relations- and change-oriented leader behaviors and organizational citizenship behaviors. Overall,…
