Masculinity contest culture reduces organizational citizenship behaviors through decreased organizational identification.

Abstract: Masculinity contest culture (MCC) encourages fierce competition and race for status at all costs. Across three experiments (N total = 554), we investigated how MCC affects discretionary performance at work (i.e., organizational citizenship behaviors; OCBs). Compared to an alternative culture (i.e., feminine nurturing culture; FNC), participants in the MCC condition reported lower levels of OCBs toward the organization and its members. Further results showed that MCC diminished individuals' intentions to engage… Show more

“…This study supports the opinion of Buch and Wetzel (2001), which states that factors creating work motivation include excellent working conditions, especially in terms of the physical work environment. The feeling is included in all administrative and management processes and applies to all levels and positions (Koc et al, 2021). Work motivation is also influenced by a humane way of disciplining that every member of the organization is an ordinary human being who is not free from weaknesses, deficiencies, and even mistakes (Maswadeh & Zumot, 2021).…”

“…Several studies have tried to identify ways to increase LGBTQ+ people's positive workplace experiences (Baker & Lucas, 2017; Lim et al., 2019; Melson‐Silimon et al., 2020). More research is needed to understand the organizational climates that can enhance the experiences of LGBTQ+ people, help them to be out and authentic at workplace, or identify ways they can break the gay glass ceiling (e.g., Aksoy et al., 2019; Koc et al., 2021; Salvati et al., 2021b).…”

“…Recent research shows that workplaces with masculinity contest cultures, in which status is defined and achieved by outperforming others in masculine characteristics, have significantly higher rates of sexual harassment as well as racial harassment, bullying, toxic leadership, low psychological safety and other practices that pit workers against each other (Glick et al , 2018; Matos et al , 2018; Workman-Stark, 2020). Unsurprisingly, work environments characterized by masculinity contest cultures also have few women in management (Glick et al , 2018) and their workers suffer significantly higher rates of burnout and lower levels of organizational identity, dedication and performance, and mental and physical health (Glick et al , 2018; Koc et al , 2021). Masculinity contest culture, in short, describes many toxic work environments featured on the front pages of newspapers as marked with harassment and scandal (e.g.…”
