Antecedents of organizational and community embeddedness: The roles of support, psychological safety, and need to belong
基于资源保存理论，研究组织与社区的社会支持如何通过心理安全感影响员工的组织嵌入和社区嵌入，并发现归属需求调节了组织嵌入的形成。
Summary Defining embeddedness as a psychological construct that influences individuals to stay, we draw on conservation of resources theory to develop and test a model of the influence of contextual social support resources on both organizational and community forms of embeddedness. In addition to the direct relationship between support and embeddedness, we also assess the mediating influence of organizational and community psychological safety and the moderating impact of need to belong. Using a multisource sample of employees and coworkers ( N = 165), we found support for most of the hypotheses. Social support resources emanating from the organization and the community were positively associated with embeddedness in each domain, and psychological safety mediated these relationships. We also found that need to belong was an important boundary condition in the determination of organizational embeddedness. We discuss the theoretical contributions and practical implications of our findings.
