Abstract

This study uses a sample of 236 employees in 71 departments, and analyzes the data with a structural equation modeling (SEM). Results support the theoretical framework of Van Dyne et al. (1995), which proposed four specific extra-role behaviors categorized by two dimensions. The findings also support the assumption that organizational structure affects fairness perceptions and extra-role behaviors of employees. The mediation effect of fairness perceptions on the relationship between organizational structure and extra-role behaviors is supported partially.

Keywords organizational structure      extra-role behaviors      fairness perceptions
