Abstrakt: The current study examined the extent to which employees' attraction toward their organizations was affected by their perceived severity and organizational support concerning a smoke-free workplace policy. The data were collected from 621 employees of 20 companies in the US and 27 companies in Korea. The findings showed that as employees perceived their organizations to provide a greater amount of support for smokers' quitting efforts, employees increased attraction toward their organizations. The extent to which employees considered a smoke-free policy at their workplace to be severely enforced was negatively related to organizational attraction. The negative relationship between perceived severity and organizational attraction, however, became weaker for organizations that had employees with higher perception of organizational support. As ex-smokers, in contrast to smokers, considered smoke-free policies at their workplaces to be more severely enforced, their attraction toward their organizations increased. There was no national difference in any of the findings. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
