报告简介Abstract：

Research in the last three decades has demonstrated the important role of extra-role work behaviors in enhancing the functioning of organizations. Recent theoretical development of the notion of "too much of good things", however, suggests that too much good organizational behavior may backfire. In this seminar, I will present three papers I developed with my colleagues, which offer a more nuanced understanding of when and why some seemingly altruistic and beneficial behaviors will be met with resistance and hostility from colleagues and managers. In Paper 1, we theorized and empirically tested the idea that individuals may compete to exhibit generosity toward their coworkers, which in turn may undermine their interpersonal interactions. In Paper 2, we attempted to predict and explain why managers may encourage employees' voice behavior but at the same time penalize too frequent voice behaviors that clearly benefit the organizational functioning. I will share with the audience how we came up with these research ideas, how we developed the projects, and how we convinced journal reviewers that the novel ideas proposed in these studies can advance knowledge. In Paper 3, we built on the notion of "overhelp" to explain why individuals may become unappreciated toward the help received from others, and may even retaliate help givers. Specifically, we showed that this will happen when individuals believe the received help is unnecessary and has the potential to spoil their own reputation for excellence; that is the received help is an "overhelp".
