Faultline distance and group citizenship behaviors: The moderating role of social identity leadership and group‐level leader‐member exchange
基于社会身份和社会交换理论，研究了团队断层距离对群体公民行为的负面影响，并发现社会身份领导力和群体层面领导-成员交换能削弱这种负面关系，对管理多样化团队有启示。
ABSTRACT Based on social identity and social exchange theory, we examine how faultline distance influences group citizenship behaviors, and how this relationship is moderated by leadership, specifically social identity leadership and group‐level leader–member exchange. We conducted a hierarchical regression analysis of data from 430 employees nested within 73 teams in four organizations, which revealed a negative relationship between faultline distance and group citizenship behaviors. This relationship was weakened by higher levels of both social identity leadership and group‐level leader–member exchange. Overall, the findings enhance understanding of how leadership—from the perspectives of social identity leadership and group‐level leader–member exchange—may influence the relationship between subgroup interaction and group behaviors. The insights gained have implications for promoting the effective management of diverse teams and organizations.
