Barjinder Singh, assistant professor of management in the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business, co-authored the paper, “Outcomes of Organizational and Community Embeddedness: A Conservation of Resources Perspective?” which is published in Group & Organization Management Journal.
In the paper, Singh and co-authors Margaret Shaffer from the University of Oklahoma and T.T. Selvarajan from California State University East Bay, explore the outcomes of both organizational and community embeddedness as well as the underlying mechanism where the two forms of embeddedness influence both domain specific and cross domain outcomes
The paper’s abstract states: “With data from 165 matched pairs of employees and their colleagues from a Midwestern US organization, we found that organizational and community embeddedness influence specific individual behaviors both within and across their respective domains. Additionally, we found support for the mediating role of psychological flourishing in the relationships between embeddedness and various organizational and community outcomes.”
