Abstract

This study advances our understanding of how a relational work context can promote host country nationals’ (HCNs’) advice-giving behavior. Drawing from social interdependence theory and relational signalling theory, we develop a multilevel model to demonstrate how task interdependence and expatriate advice seeking can jointly influence HCNs’ advice giving. Using data from 795 HCNs nested within 159 expatriates, we find that at the HCN level (Level 1), task interdependence facilitates HCNs’ prosocial motivation and advice-giving behavior. Also, at the expatriate level (Level 2), task interdependence facilitates expatriates’ advice-seeking behavior, which further has a cross-level interaction effect with HCNs’ task interdependence in predicting HCNs’ prosocial motivation and ultimate advice-seeking behavior. We discuss the implications for theory and practice.

东道国国民何时以及为何向外籍人士提供建议:工作环境关系视角
本研究加深了我们对关系型工作环境如何促进东道国国民(HCNs)提供建议行为的理解。借鉴社会相互依存理论和关系信号理论,我们建立了一个多层次模型,以说明任务相互依存和外籍人士寻求建议如何共同影响东道国国民的建议提供行为。通过使用嵌套在 159 名外籍人士中的 795 名高成长性人才的数据,我们发现在高成长性人才层面(第一层),任务相互依赖促进了高成长性人才的亲社会动机和建议给予行为。同时,在外籍人士层面(第 2 层次),任务相互依赖促进了外籍人士寻求建议的行为,而外籍人士寻求建议的行为又与 HCNs 的任务相互依赖在预测 HCNs 的亲社会动机和最终寻求建议的行为方面产生了跨层次的交互效应。我们将讨论其对理论和实践的影响。
