Affect-based interdependence and performance Sample Clauses

Affect-based interdependence and performance. We define affect-based interdependence as relationships in which feelings of social well-being and social acceptance are exchanged (Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 1995). Positive affect can enhance performance and is a major topic in the social and organizational psychology literature. According to Xxxxx (1990), affective relationships among group members result in a sense of oneness which in turn strengthens the motives of individuals to contribute personal resources to the group. For example, Xxxx and Xxxxx (1991) found that (positive) affect has a positive effect on helping behavior and cooperation. Staw and Xxxxxxx (1993) found empirical evidence for the hypothesis that positive affect facilitates decision quality and interpersonal performance. Previous studies on friendship in the workplace have also produced empirical evidence that positive affect relationships are beneficial for effectiveness. Feeling socially accepted by your friend(s) at work is negatively related to absenteeism (Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, 1985), and the affect produced by having friends among coworkers reduces stress (Xxxx & Xxxxx, 1991), increases communication, helps employees to accomplish their tasks (Xxxxxx et al., 2002), reduces conflict (Xxxx & Xxxx, 1993), and facilitates cooperation (Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 1988). Xxxx and Xxxx’x (1997) study compared workgroups where members were friends to workgroups where members were just acquaintances and found that the groups consisting of friends performed better. Friendship enhances open communication and information sharing for non-task related but also for task-related topics. In addition, groups whose members like each other tend to feel pride in their group and share commitment to their task which positively affects performance (Mullen & Copper, 1994). Based on the above, it can be hypothesized that when group members experience a feeling of belonging from their team members and have friends among their team members, they are likely to perform better as a group than a group consisting of members who do not have friends among their team members. Hypothesis 3a: Affect-based interdependence is positively associated to team performance. Alternatively, not all research is consistent with respect to the positive outcomes of affect and interpersonal attraction. Xxxxxxx and Xxxx (1988) for example, found that interpersonal attraction increases activities that are not related to task completion, which in turn is detrimental for performance. This finding is...
