Using Self-categorization Theory to Understand Relational Demography–based Variations in People’s Responsiveness to Organizational Culture

چکیده
We investigated how demographic differences affected people’s responses to organizational cues to cooperate with their coworkers.

Our results imply that understanding and managing cooperative behavior requires considering the interplay between relational demography and organizational culture.
