TL;DR: This paper investigated circumstances under which demographic diversity (gender and nationality) facilitates team performance and found that team diversity facilitated performance through increased team learning and team efficacy only for teams with a strong, but not a weak, collective team identity.
Abstract: Prior literature paints an incoherent picture on the relationship between team diversity and performance. The current article investigates circumstances under which demographic diversity (gender and nationality) facilitates performance. Based on the categorization–elaboration model, we build a theoretical framework to demonstrate the crucial role of team learning and efficacy as mediators, and team identification as a moderator to understand how and when demographic diversity facilitates team performance. In a cross-sectional study among 72 project teams, data were collected from multiple sources (self-reports, database, and performance assessments) to obtain objective and subjective indices of team diversity and performance. Results from a multigroup structural equation model showed that team diversity facilitated performance for teams with a strong, but not a weak, collective team identity. Second, team diversity facilitated performance through increased team learning and team efficacy only for teams wi...

TL;DR: The authors build the case for self-esteem threat as an overarching framework for divergent employee reactions to customer mistreatment, and explain how service workers' behavioral reactions and emotional labor may systematically vary according to where service workers stake their selfesteem, in performance, in others' approval, or in status.
Abstract: Customer mistreatment is a ubiquitous and pernicious form of interpersonal mistreatment leveled by customers against employees. Service workers’ reactions to customer mistreatment have been traditionally viewed as tit-for-tat reactions in which service workers respond to customers’ aggression with retaliation in kind. However, this tit-for-tat account does not capture the broad range of possible service worker responses to customer misbehavior. We build the case for self-esteem threat as an overarching framework for divergent employee reactions to customer mistreatment, and explain how service workers’ behavioral reactions and emotional labor may systematically vary according to where service workers stake their self-esteem—in performance, in others’ approval, or in status—using contingencies of self-worth theory. Other features of the self-concept are identified as boundary conditions of the process.

TL;DR: In this article, a multilevel model of antecedents of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) was proposed and tested using a sample of 568 respondents in 46 teams, and the results indicate that HIWS are directly and indirectly related to team-level OCB through the team perceived organizational support climate.
Abstract: Drawing on signaling and social exchange theories, we proposed and tested a multilevel model of antecedents of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). More specifically, this article examines how, why, and when high-involvement work systems (HIWS) are related to employee and team citizenship behaviors. Using a sample of 568 respondents in 46 teams, our results indicate that HIWS are directly and indirectly related to team-level OCB through the team perceived organizational support (POS) climate. Structure was found to act as a significant internal contextual factor. More specifically, we found that decentralization and formalization foster the positive link between HIWS and POS, while the indirect relationship between HIWS and team-level OCB through POS was weaker when the degree of formalization was low, and stronger when this structure element was high. Finally, consistent with Ehrhart and Naumann’s group norms theory of OCB, team-level OCB was positively related to employee OCB, regardless of whethe...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how person-organization fit and friendship from coworkers combine to affect people's self-verification, and how selfverification ultimately relates to employee outcomes (job performance and organizational citizenship behaviors).
Abstract: This study examined how person–organization fit and friendship from coworkers combine to affect people’s self-verification, and how self-verification ultimately relates to employee outcomes (job performance and organizational citizenship behaviors). Based on a sample of 117 employee–supervisor pairs, multilevel analyses revealed a positive relationship between employees’ perceptions of person–organization fit and self-verification, and also showed that the relationship was facilitated by friendship from coworkers. Specifically, person–organization fit and self-verification perceptions were positively related when friendship from coworkers was high, but nonsignificant when friendship from coworkers was low. In addition, employees’ self-verification perceptions were positively and significantly associated with job performance and organizational citizenship behaviors. Our research suggests that enhancing person–organization fit and promoting friendship from coworkers in the workplace organizations can satisf...
