Abstract

We propose a cross-level perspective on the relationship between individual-level perceived camaraderie and organizational-level camaraderie climate which interact to predict employee perceptions of innovativeness. Additionally, organizational gender diversity weakens the cross-level interaction. We tested our hypotheses by conducting a multi-level study with 39,574 employees working in 53 firms in Central America and the Caribbean. The positive link between perceived camaraderie and perceived innovativeness was stronger in firms with higher organizational camaraderie climate, and this interaction was moderated in firms with more gender diversity. We discuss the international human resource management implications of social context for the organizational gender diversity and innovation literature in an often-overlooked region.

摘要

我们提出了一个跨层次的视角来看待个人层面的友情感知与组织层面的友情氛围之间的关系，它们相互作用以预测员工对创新的感知。此外，组织性别多样性削弱了跨层次的互动。我们通过对中美洲和加勒比地区 53 家公司的 39,574 名员工进行多层次研究来检验我们的假设。在具有较高组织友情气氛的公司中，感知友情和感知创新之间的正向联系更强，并且这种互动在具有更多性别多样性的公司中得到缓和。我们讨论了在一个经常被忽视的地区，社会背景对组织性别多样性和创新文献的国际人力资源管理影响。
