TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that additional understanding of work motivation can be gained by incorporating current insights concerning self-categorization and social identity processes and by examining the way in which these processes influence the motivation and behavior of individuals and groups at work.

TL;DR: In this article, a measure to distinguish career-oriented from team-oriented work commitment was developed and validated, and the distinction between careeroriented and teamoriented commitment was then cross-validated in a 2nd study, among employees of a financial service organization in Belgium (TV = 287), in which the constructs proved to be not only differentially related to self-reported behavior at work, but also predictive of performance ratings by superiors.

TL;DR: An explanation in social identity terms is supported, according to which individual upward mobility implies distancing the self from the group stereotype which not only involves perceiving the self as a non-prototypical group member, but may also elicit stereotypical views of other in-group members.

TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical investigation of the internal effects of employee volunteering conducted amongst employees of the Dutch ABN-AMRO bank was carried out, which showed that socio-demographic characteristics from employee volunteers markedly differ from those of non-volunteers and community volunteers and that employee volunteering seems to have positive effects on attitudes and behavior towards the organization.

TL;DR: In this article, differences in trust, commitment and justice perceptions between contingent and core employees in two hotels, as well as their effects on work behaviour were investigated, and the implications of these results are discussed.
