The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of socially supportive relationships between co-workers in fostering organisational identification (OID). Adopting a Social Identity Theory perspective, the study investigates how employees’ ethnic self-identification (ESI) may influence co-worker social support (CWSS)–OID relationship depending on whether they are indigenes or non-indigenes.,Regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between CWSS (independent variable) and OID (dependent variable) at different levels of ESI (moderator variable). Data were collected from 1,525 employees from public and private employers in Nigeria.,Findings supported a positive relationship between CWSS and OID that is moderated by an employee’s ESI. Specifically, the study finds that ESI matters in the strength of CWSS–OID relationship such that the relationship is weaker for indigenes compared to non-indigenes.,As organisations develop policies that increase the representation of various ethnic groups or other forms of social identities at work, there is need to create an environment that fosters socially supportive relationships among co-workers.,This study contributes to the literature by adding a level of boundary conditions to the overall findings that workplace relationships are important for OID. The study also addresses how employees of different ethnic groups are influenced by the ethnicity of the context prevailing where an organisation is located.

同事的社会支持和组织认同:种族自我认同重要吗?

本文的目的是调查同事之间的社会支持关系在促进组织认同(OID)中的作用。该研究采用社会认同理论的观点,调查了员工的种族自我认同(ESI)可能会如何影响同事的社会支持(CWSS)-OID关系,具体取决于他们是土著人还是非土著人。在不同级别的ESI(主持人变量)上检查CWSS(自变量)和OID(因变量)之间的关系。数据来自尼日利亚公共和私营雇主的1,525名员工。研究结果支持CWSS与OID之间的积极关系,该关系由员工的ESI协调。特别,研究发现,ESI对CWSS-OID关系的重要性至关重要,因此与非土著人相比,土著人的关系较弱。随着组织制定政策以增加工作中各种族裔群体或其他形式的社会身份的代表,因此,有必要营造一种促进同事之间的社会支持关系的环境。这项研究通过在工作间关系对OID至关重要的整体发现中增加一定程度的边界条件,为文献做出了贡献。该研究还探讨了不同种族的员工如何受组织所在地区所处环境的种族影响。随着组织制定政策以增加各种族裔群体或其他形式的社会身份在工作中的代表,有必要营造一种环境,以促进同事之间的社会支持关系。工作场所关系对于OID至关重要的总体发现的边界条件。该研究还探讨了不同种族的员工如何受组织所在地区所处环境的种族影响。随着组织制定政策以增加各种族裔群体或其他形式的社会身份在工作中的代表,有必要营造一种环境,以促进同事之间的社会支持关系。工作场所关系对于OID至关重要的总体发现的边界条件。该研究还探讨了不同种族的员工如何受组织所在地区所处环境的种族影响。这项研究通过在工作场所关系对OID至关重要的整体发现中增加一定程度的边界条件,为文献做出了贡献。该研究还探讨了不同种族的员工如何受组织所在地区所处环境的种族影响。这项研究通过在工作场所关系对OID至关重要的整体发现中增加一定程度的边界条件,为文献做出了贡献。该研究还探讨了不同种族的员工如何受组织所在地区所处环境的种族影响。
