Motivations to Maintain Social Ties With Coworkers
研究员工维持同事关系的两种动机(友谊动机与工作促进动机)如何影响职场社会包容感、跨组织信息交换及离职意向,发现工作促进动机更强的人更愿意与外部交换信息,且离职意向会强化这一关系。
This study examines the relationships among an individual's motivations to maintain social ties with coworkers, information exchange with others outside the firm, and turnover intentions. The authors considered both relationship motivation to maintain friendships at work and job facilitation motivation to maintain workplace relationships that facilitate an individual's job performance. Results suggest that both types of motivation are related to workplace social inclusion, a concept that has been based in part on the social capital literature. The authors also find that individuals with job facilitation motivation for maintaining social ties with coworkers engage in more interorganizational information exchange than do those with relationship motivation. When individuals have turnover intentions, the relationship between job facilitation motivation and interorganizational information exchange is stronger.
