“…In other words, because highly involved employees are more attentive to their coworkers’ needs, more likely to foster their connectedness to their coworkers, and more motivated to draw upon their personal selves to respond to work demands as needed, they are more ready, willing, and able to provide help to their coworkers (Kahn, 1990, 1992; Macey & Schneider, 2008). Supporting these arguments, empirical research has demonstrated that job involvement is positively linked to OCBs, such as helping (e.g., Diefendorff, Brown, Kamin, & Lord, 2002; S. Zhang, 2014).…”

Although helping behavior at work is widely studied, little is known about the processes via which help providers increase or decrease their helping behavior. In the current research, we integrated both enrichment-based and depletion-based perspectives on helping with Kahn’s psychological conditions for engagement to offer more comprehensive understanding of how helping behavior may change. Specifically, based on Kahn’s model, we simultaneously consider the beneficial effects of helping on help providers’ psychological meaningfulness and psychological safety along with the detrimental effects of helping on help providers’ psychological resource availability in order to uncover the differential processes through which helping behavior may change. To test our theoretical model, we collected data from a sample of 375 employees using a three-wave time-lagged design. Supporting the enrichment-based perspective, our results demonstrated that employees’ helping behavior was positively related to increases in their psychological meaningfulness and psychological safety. Supporting the depletion-based perspective, results showed that helping behavior was also positively related to increases in emotional exhaustion, an indicator of psychological resource availability. Whereas psychological meaningfulness and psychological safety were, in turn, positively related to increases in job involvement, emotional exhaustion was negatively related to increases in job involvement. Finally, job involvement was positively related to subsequent increases in employee helping behavior. We discuss the implications of our findings for both theories and practices.

“…Job involvement is generally seen as a desirable organizational outcome (Mudrack, 2004; Taştan, 2013). Zhang (2014) contended that job involvement is an important work attitude that affects both the employee and the employing organization. Pfeffer (1994) postulated job involvement helps with organizational effectiveness and success.…”

“…The opposite of job involvement is job alienation (Kanungo, 1982a, 1982b). Job involvement is an important work attitude, and it is considered one of the key factors affecting the quality of both individual and organizational outcomes (Zhang, 2014). Organizational commitment is the level of the bond between the person and the employing organization (Lambert, Griffin, et al, 2015; Mowday et al, 1982).…”

In the United States, institutional corrections is a major undertaking that requires substantial financial resources. Correctional staff are the essential element to ensuring the safety and security of these institutions, which house approximately 2.2 million adults. Thus, it is invaluable to explore work environment variables that contribute to their success. One area that has received scant attention is staff views of inmate medical care and their effect on job involvement and organizational commitment. This study focused on the effects of views concerning the proper handling of inmate infectious diseases, the quality of medical care provided to inmates, the timeliness of the responses to inmate medical needs, turnover of medical staff, and inmate medical privacy rights. Results indicate that proper handling of inmate infectious diseases and quality of medical care positively increase job involvement and organizational commitment.

“…Applicants are subjected to a lengthy and extended screening process before being granted the CCP membership. To become party members, applicants need to show great ability to outperform their co‐workers, great perseverance throughout the long selection process, and positive attitudes toward Communist ideology, society, and work (Zhang, 2014). Party members of high quality tend to form a negative attitudinal evaluation of CWBs and prevent themselves from engaging in CWBs.…”

“…Moreover, the party members are more likely to exhibit qualities of good citizenship, in other words, they are more likely to vote and do volunteer work (Dickson, 2014). It is expected that such behaviors can be generalized to the work context, and Zhang (2014) showed that party affiliation positively moderates the relationship between job involvement and organizational citizenship behaviors. Coupling the observations mentioned above, this study presents the following hypothesis:…”

This study examined the relationships between the four dimensions of the protestant work ethic (internal locus of control, asceticism, hard work, anti‐leisure) and organizational counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs). Based on a sample of Chinese employees, the results from two‐wave lagged data (N = 691) indicated that the asceticism dimension and the anti‐leisure dimension were negatively associated with CWBs. These associations were moderated by party affiliation, indicating that party members had a stronger negative relationship between these constructs than non‐party members did.
