Abstract
This study examines how coworker interactions and psychological collectivism impact an employee’s likelihood of engaging in taking charge behavior. Work group contextual factors examined include team-member exchange (TMX), coworker support, and psychological collectivism. Results show that TMX, coworker support, and psychological collectivism were significantly related to an individual’s propensity to engage in taking charge behavior, in support of our hypotheses. This study highlights the importance that one’s interactions with coworkers can have on an employee’s willingness to engage in taking charge behavior, contributing an important new perspective to the literature on the contextual antecedents that drive an individual’s behavioral efforts to bring about innovation and change. Implications for research and practitioners are discussed.
