A 10‐year Retrospective of Organization Studies in Community Psychology: Content, Theory, and Impact

Testing a Theory of Sense of Community and Community Responsibility in Organizations: An Empirical Assessment of Predictive Capacity on Employee Well‐being and Organizational Citizenship

“…In addition to testing theory, the findings showed that both SOC and SOC‐R are predictive of key outcomes in a workplace setting. This is an important finding because it emphasizes that community constructs are applicable in organizational settings (Boyd, ; Boyd & Angelique, , ) and demonstrates that community constructs likely have significant exportation capabilities in work contexts. In addition, from an organizational perspective, these findings add an important construct to the field of management (Boyd & Nowell, ) and show managers that SOC and SOC‐R are factors that are important in the milieu of organizational life.…”

“…Despite the growth of commentary on the role and importance of community in the workplace in the literature to date, empirical studies are scarce (for review, see Boyd, ). As such, there is limited theoretical and empirical knowledge available to propel a specific research agenda of community at work forward.…”

Quality of collaboration within health promotion partnerships: Impact on sense of community, empowerment, and perceived projects' outcomes

“…Given that the effect of sense of community promoting health on commitment was large, it may have suppressed the influence of sense of community responsibility on commitment. Sense of community responsibility may have an effect on commitment at the moment as was found by Boyd (); however, future commitment seems to depend on the feeling of belonging to a community that promotes health, suggesting that sense of belonging can support long‐term engagement in health promotion.…”

Effects of a Changing Organizational Ecology on Racial Disparities in Infant Mortality

“…Drawing on organizational ecological theory to further explore multilevel phenomena in organizational and interorganizational settings is in line with recent recommendations for identifying ways that organizational studies can inform theory and practice in community psychology (Boyd, ). Ecological perspectives have been fundamental to community psychology's understanding of complex community systems that affect human flourishing and well‐being (Kelly, ).…”

“…Boyd () suggests that not only does organizational theory contribute to questions in community psychology, but community psychology also provides a rich worldview in which to apply organizational theory. Importantly, Trickett () points out that, taken together, interdependence, cycling of resources, adaptation, and succession support a paradigm for research and practice focused on human well‐being.…”
