Extrinsic and intrinsic origins of perceived social loafing in organizations

Article Abstract:

It was hypothesized and found that task visibilty and intrinsic task involvement would each be negatively associated with "social loafing" in an ongoing organization. Individuals engaged in social loafing put forth low effort when performing work in groups. Intrinsic involvement was not a significant predictor of social loafing when task visibility was controlled. However, as hypothesized, intrinsic involvement moderated the relationship between task visibility and social loafing in such a way that the relationship was strongest when intrinsic involvement was low.

This paper shows how job dissatisfaction along with factors such as commitment motivated by necessity, coworkers' feedback, help and support, lead to creative performance. The employee's perception of the company's support for creativity, i.e., letting the employee voice out better ways to do his job, is also important.
