| Abstract: | This study explored the group-level effects of a climate of employee involvement. Using the immediate manager as the referent, we examined data from 153 workgroups to establish a positive relationship between climate for employee involvement and performance. Through multilevel analysis, we provide results supporting that a climate for employee involvement positively relates to group citizenship behaviors and group task performance, respectively. Furthermore, moderation analyses confirmed the deleterious effects of member turnover on the positive relationship between a climate of employee involvement and performance. Taken together, these results support the concurrent work exploring transactive memory and mental models in groups to further explicate the interactive effects of group-level perceptions and stability on performance. |
