Popis: | The current field study took place within a Mexican work setting, consisting of 100 white-collar employees representing a variety of professional job categories. The study investigated the direct effect of the supervisor–employee relationship (leader–member exchange) quality and group acceptance on employees' propensity to engage in activities beyond their formal work roles (extra-role behavior). The mediating influences of the employees' job satisfaction level and organizational commitment were also taken into consideration when accounting for extra-role behavior. Results suggest that relationships Mexican employees share with their supervisor have a direct impact on their extra-role behavior. Social exchange, key to both extra-role behavior and leader–member exchange, is proposed as the operating mechanism associating the two constructs. Results also indicate that organizational commitment plays a partial mediating role between leader–member exchange and extra-role behavior. |
