Enhancing the Sense of Community and Collaboration among Employees through Purpose Implementation : An Empirical Analysis using Dyadic Data
Recently, some academics have been raising awareness among organizations concerning the adverse outcomes of an organization having a toxic culture. In this paper, instead of discussing toxic cultures, we talk about what a healthy culture is and the impact it may have on well-being in organizations. To this end, we propose shared organizational purpose with employees as a variable that manifests a healthy culture in the organization. We also propose sense of community and OCBI (organizational citizenship behavior directed toward other individuals) as variables that manifest well-being. Sense of community measures the perception of received social support, and OCBI is related to giving social support. Framed within the organizational identification theory, we explain and test hypotheses about the relationship between shared purpose and a sense of community and the moderating impact that gender diversity and group size have on this relationship. We also explain and test the relationship between sense of community and OCBI and the moderating effect that group size has on this. For the above, we conducted a dyadic data collection. We used a sample size of 261 departments in 31 different organizations and tested hypotheses using PLS (Partial Least Squares). Results suggest several theoretical contributions and practical implications that can help organizations foster a healthy culture with a subsequent positive impact on social well-being. We finish with some limitations and a proposal for the direction of future research
