Organizational cultures that support community
Recent evidence has shown that when employees experience perceptions of community at work (i.e., a sense of community and a sense of community responsibility), psychological well‐being and behavioral engagement improve (e.g., greater job engagement, organizational citizenship, and leadership). Recent evidence also shows that experiences of community, as a motivational state, are better able to predict employee outcomes compared to a series of fac…
Building community at work
Recent scholarship has demonstrated that experiences in the community (i.e., a sense of community [SOC] and a SOC responsibility) can enhance employee psychological and behavioral outcomes. Recent evidence also shows that the experiences of the community are better able to predict employee outcomes compared to long‐regarded management and public management constructs. However, very little empirical evidence exists on antecedent conditions that he…
Community experiences in the strategic human resource management black box
Recent research suggests experiencing community at work (i.e., perceiving a sense of community [SOC] and a sense of community responsibility [SOC‐R]) is important for employee and organizational outcomes, however, we know very little about how these constructs operate in human resource management contexts. This study peers into the strategic human resource management “black box,” which is an organizational setting where psychological and social v…

Sense of community responsibility at the forefront of crisis management
The COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that a sense of community responsibility is crucial to mitigate the effects of viral spread. Many citizens across the world have heeded the call to isolate and self-distance, yet large numbers of individuals do not seem to understand their responsibility for others. This article explores how a sense of community responsibility is born in community contexts, how various features of a crisis impact community …
Psychometric properties of the Italian version of the sense of community responsibility scale
The central aim of the present research was to examine the psychometric properties of adapted versions of the sense of community (SOC) responsibility scale in three Italian samples. We examined the psychometric properties of three modified versions of the sense of community responsibility (SOC‐R) scale. Consistent with the original scale, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that the scale was unidimensional and exhibited exc…
Sense of Community, Sense of Community Responsibility, and Public Service Motivation as Predictors of Employee Well-Being and Engagement in Public Service Organizations
Public management scholars have suggested that employee motivation can be accentuated by organizational cultures and contexts. One of the most researched topics in this regard is the concept of public service motivation (PSM). Research shows that PSM works to direct applicants toward public service careers and, once hired, can be linked to motivated activity within public-sector organizations. Similarly, like PSM, a sense of community (SOC) and a…
Becoming a Medical Marijuana User
Howard Becker's analysis of marijuana use has had long-standing impacts upon our collective understanding of how individuals become drug users. This paper ultimately asks whether the framework described by Becker is unique to recreational marijuana use or, rather, a process that is not fundamentally different from that employed with the consumption of any psychoactive drug, whether taken for medical and/or recreational purposes. We used detailed …
Public Service Motivation and Sense of Community Responsibility
Leadership has been recognized as one of the most critical elements to successful community collaboration. However, to date, we have limited knowledge of what drives people to embrace voluntary leadership roles. In this study, we investigate the intersection and relative contributions of two “other-regarding” motivational constructs in predicting peer nominations of leadership in community collaboratives: public service motivation (PSM) and psych…
Human resource performance metrics
Purpose The purpose of the present analysis is to show that HR systems are not always designed in ways that consider the well‐being of employees. In particular, performance metric methods seem to be designed with organizational goals in mind while focusing less on what employees need and desire. Design/methodology/approach A literature review and multiple case‐study method was utilized. Findings The analysis showed that performance metrics should…
Sense of community as construct and theory
In this article, we respond to criticisms posed by McMillan ( 2011 ) of our recent paper, “Viewing Community as Responsibility as well as a Resource: Deconstructing the Theoretical Roots of Psychological Sense of Community.” We clarify that the focus of our article was to explore the macro theoretical frameworks and second‐order assumptions that have guided the measurement and study of the psychological sense of community (PSOC) construct to date…

Viewing community as responsibility as well as resource
The field of scholarship surrounding the construct of psychological sense of community (PSOC) has been dominated by first‐order learning processes attending to issues of measurement and prediction of the four‐dimensional framework proposed by McMillan and Chavis (1976). This article seeks to contribute to the conceptual development of PSOC by clarifying the second‐order assumptions of PSOC as it is represented in prevailing conception and measure…
Resuming the dialogue on organization studies and community psychology
Expanding the View of Performance Appraisal by Introducing Social Justice Concerns
The current “organizational justice” literature proposes that public managers should analyze both distributive and procedural justice components in designing and implementing various human resource interventions. This article shows that distributive and procedural justice conceptions are not the only constructs that should be analyzed. Instead, social justice concerns need to be addressed in addition to—or perhaps as an antecedent to—distributive…
