Perceived External Prestige, Affective Commitment, and Citizenship Behaviors
研究以色列医疗系统社会工作者发现，感知外部社会声望和经济声望均能增强员工的情感承诺，且社会声望影响更大；情感承诺在社会声望与公民行为之间起中介作用，对利他行为的影响大于服从行为。
In a study that involved social workers in the Israeli health care system, two forms of perceived external prestige (social and economic) were identified. The results indicate that both forms of perceived external prestige augment employees’ affective commitment to their organization. Compared to perceived external economic prestige, however, perceived external social prestige seems to have a larger effect on affective commitment. In addition, employees’ affective commitment to their organization appeared to mediate the relationship between perceived external social prestige and citizenship behavior. It appears, however, that affective commitment augments altruistic behavior to a larger degree than that of compliance behavior.
