Does social identity theory underlie relational demography? A test of the moderating effects of uncertainty reduction and status enhancement on similarity effects
Relational demography research has its roots in social identity theory. However, prior research has not directly tested the effects of the two primary motives of social identification; uncertainty reduction and status enhancement. In this study, we examined the moderating effects of these motives on the relationship between demographic similarity and individuals’ affective reactions toward their work group. Uncertainty reduction, which we operati…
Relational demography within groups
The theory of relational demography within groups has generated considerable interest because of its importance for understanding the meaning and impact of demographic diversity within work organizations. Specifically, relational demography suggests that the more similar an individual is to a social unit in demographic characteristics, the more positive will be his/her work-related attitudes and behaviors. However, previous research has not produ…
A Review of Cross-Cultural Methodologies for Organizational Research
Cross-cultural studies that use self-report instruments can present researchers with a variety of challenges. This article reviews the organizational research literature between the years of 1995 and 2001 to identify common practices prevalent in this type of research. Key methodological issues are examined within the context of a three-stage framework: (a) the development of the research question, (b) the alignment of the research contexts, and …
The Development of a Measure of Desired Moral Approbation
The moral approbation model has recently been proposed as a partial explanation for the observed disparity between moral decisions and moral action. A critical component of this model is an untested individual-difference variable, desired moral approbation, defined as the amount of approval that individuals require from themselves or others in order to proceed with moral actions without discomfort. This study focused on the development of a scale…
Defining and Measuring Employees’ Identification with Their Work Groups
The objective of this study was to develop a conceptually and methodologically sound measure of employee identification with the work group. A three-phase analysis approach was used. First, a content analysis was conducted with subject matter experts (SMEs) in the field of organizational behavior and psychology. Second, an exploratory factor analysis of the factor structure was conducted using a sample of employees from a credit union ( N = 140).…
A Central Question in Cross-Cultural Research
Within the present research, a covariance structure analytic procedure is applied to test the stability and transferability of organizational measures between groups in cross-cultural research. Findings support the need to establish the equivalency of constructs and measures prior to interpreting differences in means of self-report variables between culturally diverse groups. Indeed, for two measures, the cultural groups were using different conc…
