Abstract
ABSTRACT We predict that contextual attributes (i.e., employees’ need for help) and offeror attributes (i.e., offeror’s performance, political nature) indirectly influence employee help acceptance through employees’ willingness to accept obligation and exploitation concerns (i.e., social loafing concerns, distrust). Study 1 is an experimental design and demonstrated that contextual and offeror attributes influence employees’ willingness to accept obligation and exploitation concerns, but only the offeror attributes (i.e., offeror performance and political nature) indirectly influence help acceptance through willingness to accept obligation and exploitation concerns. Study 2 is a field study of working adults to test the predictions while controlling for the direct effect of coworker exchange on help acceptance. The results of Study 2 replicated the results from Study 1.
期刊介绍：
Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
