Beyond direct and symmetrical effects: the influence of demographic dissimilarity on organizational citizenship behavior

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to investigate the influence of demographic dissimilarity in a work group on the level of citizenship behavior exhibited by its members. All the dependent, mediating and control variables were examined through factor analysis. Results provide evidence that the impact of demographic dissimilarity on organizational citizenship behavior and the mediators was more complex than the simple negative effect that the similarity-attraction paradigm projected.
